The initial study shows that there is no substantial evidence that the project may have a significant impact on the environment since a full environmental review of the master plan property was certified (EIR 84-3) with more intensive educational and related land uses than the residential uses being proposed with this amendment. All sensitive lagoon slopes, habitat and wetland areas associated with the project's open space have already been dedicated in fee title to the State of California. No other significant environmental features are associated with the site which at one time supported agricultural uses but is now vacant undeveloped land with the exception of the Rosalina subdivision. 2. The site has been previously graded and contains no sensitive animal or plant species with the exception of permanently protected master plan open space areas associated with the lagoon environment (approximately 35 acres). The previously graded portion of the site contains the existing alignment of Windrose Circle and the that was disturbed in the past through agricultural uses. I Rosalina neighborhood. The rest of the master plan area is mostly flat vacant land I Il. 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 3. The existing and proposed streets are adequate in size to handle the anticipated traffic of approximately 12,300 Average Daily Trips (ADT). This amount of traffic is less than the approximately 26,500 ADT approved with the former BLEP master plan on the site. The alignment and configuration of the master plan circulation system meets all City standards and will allow the orderly and functional development of the master plan property. 4. There are no sensitive resources located onsite or located so as to be significantly impacted by the development and implementation of the master plan. The project has been and will continue to be designed and conditioned to eliminate any potential environmental impacts associated from the proposed development adjacent to the Batiquitos Lagoon. The proposed master plan amendment will have no environmental impacts to, or hinder the implementation of, the approved Batiquitos Lagoon Enhancement Plan. 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 5. All environmental impacts identified in EIR 84-3 that required mitigation have either completed the mitigation process or will be mitigated through the implementation of this mitigated negative declaration as a follow up to the master plan property's original environmental review. As outlined in the attached mitigation monitoring program, these impacts involve archeological, paleontological and visual/aesthetic resources and compliance with residential noise impact standards. .... ....

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS STATE CEQA GUIDELINES, Chapter 3, Article 5, section 15063 requires that the City conduct Environmental Impact Assessment to detennine if a project may have a significant effect on the environmc The Environmental Impact Assessment appears in the following pages in the form of a checklist. This check identifies any physical, biological and human factors that might be impacted by the proposed project ; provides the City with information to use as the basis for deciding whether to prepare an Environmel Impact Report or Negative Declaration. * A Negative Declaration may be prepared if the City perceives no substantial evidence that the projecr any of its aspects may cause a significant effect on the environment. On the checklist, "NO" will be chec: to indicate this determination. * An EIR must be prepared if the City determines that there is substantial evidence that any aspect of project may cause a significant effect on the environment. The project may qualify for a Negal Declaration however, if adverse impacts are mitigated so that environmental effects can be deer insimificant. These findings are shown in the checklist under the headings 'YES-sig" and "YES-.h respectively. A discussion of potential impacts and the proposed mitigation measures appears at the end of the form un DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION. Particular attention should be given to discuss mitigation for impacts which would otherwise be detennined significant. e 0 PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT I WILL THE PROPOSAL DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY: 1.

The land uses allowed under BKP center around a university/educational use with supporting and related land uses. The went ater PI; amendment (MP 175-D) proposes to rename the project to the Poinsetria Shores Mater p\m and replace the educational uses with residential uses. The master plan has a total of 451 dwelling units 14 to develop which the applicant will pursue in 'combination with a State allowed 25% density bonus assist with affordable housing compliance. Also being processed with the master plan amendment i3 General Plan amendment (GPA 91-05> and a Local Coastal Program Amendment (LCPA 91-02) implement the proposed changes to the master plan. A Local Facilities Management Plan Amendme will also be processed to reflect the land use changes within the Zone 9 Local Facilities Manageme Zone. The site is currently vacant with the exception of the Rosalena single family neighborhood. With the approval of BLEP (October 22,19851, an environmental impact report was certified (EIR 84-: for the master plan property. All environmental impacts associated with BLEP have been identified a mitigation measures are in place where appropriate. The amended master plan will involve land US of lesser intensity than the previously approved educational park with less traffic and public faciliti impacts. The applicant's Environmental Impact Assessment Part I included traffic, noise and geotechnic studies. This Mitigated Negative Declaration incorporates analysis fkom the certified EIR and will outh the necessary mitigation on a master plan level to offset archaeology, paleontology, visual resources, ar noise impacts. PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT 1. As documented in EIR 84-03 and the applicant's geotechnical report dated June 4, 1986 1 Woodward-Clyde Consultants, the site is not located near any active faults and no geolog conditions exist that would constrain the development of the maspr plan property or increase tE exposure of people or property to geologic hazards. 2. The master plan property is mostly flat except for the lagoon bluff areas which will not be altere through project grading. An existing manufactured slope on the eastern edge of the master pla site will be cut to provide fdl for the roadway and bridge embankments supporting Avenid Encinas. Otherwise, no appreciable change to the area's topography will occur and EIR 84-3 di not idendfy any unique physical features. 3. At the master plan level as well as tentative map/planning area level, the project will b conditioned to comply with the Ciws Grading Ordinance and standard landscaping and erosio control measures to prevent soil erosion onto the site as well as soil erosion offsite into Batiquitc Lagoon. 4. Development of the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan will not affect the natural sand movemer patterns of the nearby coastal littoral area. No changes will occur to the channeh of any stream or the Batiquitos Lagoon. The project will be required to maintain existing/construct new drainag facilities as needed to prevent any impacts to Batiquitos Lagoon. -6- e 0 5. The primary impacts to air quality will resdt from automobile and truck emissions. EI~ 84- stated that the increase in air pollution emissions should be considered insignificant. [n additio the master plan's proposed land uses and associated average daily trips (ADT) will be reduced fro1 approximately 26,500 ADT (associated with the current BLEP master plan) to 12,300 AD (associated with the amended Poinsettia Shores master plan). This will reduce impacts to a quality compared to the BLEP master plan. 6. Approval of this master plan and the development of individual planning areas will not impact ( substantially change air movements, odor, moisture or temperature. Standard grading conditio1 and procedures will minimize dust impacts during grading and construction phases. 7. The project will not change the come or flow of marine, lagoon or flood waters. The master pla will be conditioned to maintain existing/construct new drainage facilities to remove pollutants fro1 storm water and prevent undesired drainage from flowing into the Batiquitos Lagoon drainag basin. 8. Standard grading, erosion control and landscaping per the City's Landscape Manual will contrc run-off and prevent pollutants in run-off from reaching the Batiquitos Lagoon. These standar measures will prevent any impacts to the quantity or quality of lagoon water, surface wate ground water or public water supplies. 9. EIR 84-3 documented the lack of any natural resources on the master plan property. 10. Fuel and energy will be used during the grading and construction phases of this project in the fori of gasoline and fuel. EIR 84-3 stated that BLEP could be adequately served by SDG&E for i! natural gas and electrical needs. Since the Poinsettia Shores project is less intense than the BLE project, this project's demands on fuel and energy are not significant. 0 11. EIR 84-3 identified four archeological sites within the master plan property; three were determine to be significant. Follow up data recovery efforts were carried out by archeologist Brian Smith an summarized in the report, 'The Archeological Excavations of Cultural Resources at Sites W-84, V 88, W-95, W-97 and W-2251" incorporated herein by reference and on file in the Plank Department. One of the sites had human remains which have since been reinterred in an opc space area within the master plan with the coordination and direction of a qualified Archeologi and Native American Coordinator. This was done in compliance with the mitigation measures ( EIR 84-3. As concluded in the above referenced report, the sites are no longer considerc significant. Further mitigation at this point involves the retention of an archeologist for pr grading conferences and monitoring during .grading operations where cultural sites are located. Paleontological resources also may be present on-site. Adherence to the city's standas paleontological mitigation program will be required in conjunction with grading of the site. BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT 12/13. The majority of the project area (including all of the developable area of the property) currently vacant and undeveloped. Previously, the site had been used for agriculture so there no habitat value on the master plan property except for the lagoon, bluffs and wetland are: -7- e 0 which will be preserved in permanent open space. Therefore, there will be no hpacts sensitive plant species and no barriers to the normal replenishment of existing plant species v be created. Project landscaping will be the only plants introduced into the area. 14. The master plan property has been used for agricultural purposes in the past, however, no la within the master plan property is currently being used for agriculture. Furthermore, EIR 8' states that none of the soils on the site are considered "prime" agricultural lands per the Williams( Act definition. 15/16. Since the project area is primarily vacant and undeveloped, there is minimum habitat value 1 animal species in the area. The exception would be the animal biodiversity associated with t lagoon and adjacent wetland areas which will remain open space so that there will be no impal to the habitats or diversity of sensitive animal species or their natural patterns of movements migrations. The biological resources of the lagoon will not be impacted by the development the master plan's property. Domesticated animals in the form'of household pets will likely 'htroduced into the area by future residents; however, this will not significantly impact t lagoon area's habitat or animal species diversity. HUMAN ENVIRONMENT 17. The land uses currently allowed on the site are outlined in BLEP and center around university/educational use with supporting residential, office and commercial uses. The proposl master plan amendment specifically seeks to alter the allowed uses on the east side to i residential (spreading the master plan's remaining allowed residential dwelling units) and leavi the west side with the currently allowed uses with the exception of the area north of Aveni Encinas which is proposed to go from a neighborhood commercial designation to an unplann area designation, subject to future planning efforts. The propose@ land uses are more cornpatit with existing/allowed adjacent land uses than the land uses contained in BLEP. Since the area zoned Planned Community (PC) and requires master planning, the proposed land use chang associated with the ment master plan. amendment (and corresponding Gend Plan mendmen do not constitute a significant impact tq the planned land uses of the area. 18. The BLEP master plan did not substantially affect public utilities, schools, police, fire, emergenc or other public services. The proposed master plan amendment will also not affect any publ facilities or services since the intensity, traffic generation and demand on public fadities/Senricl will be less than mtly allowed. All performance standards and publ improvement/infrastcture requirements of the amended Zone 9 Local Facilities Management Pk will be met and maintained in compliance with the City's Growth Management Program. 19. No new or modified solid waste or hazardous waste control systems will be required from d. development of this master plan area. Overall sewer requirements will decrease fro1 approximately 252,000 gallons per day (BLEP) to 151,140 gallons per day (Poinsettia Shores The master plan will be conditioned to provide a sewer pump station for the east side of tk master plan necessary to service the master plan area. The west side may be required to provii a sewer pump station during detailed planning and development efforts for the west side in tl future. -8- ” a 0 I 20. Approval of the master plan amendment and development of individual planning areas will nc substantidy increase noise levels beyond the short term grading and construction noise impact The project area is impacted by noise from the 1-5 freeway and the railroad right of wa Mitigation for the master plan amendment will include the requirement that residential PI& areas have detailed noise studies done at the tentative map/PUD level to assure compliance wil the City‘s noise policy. 21. Through the site design and conditions of approval for individual planning areas, no light or gla: will be permirii to be directed offsite of the master plan property. Lighting within planning are; will be low intensity and shielded from upward reflections. New light will not be a sigrufica: impact. 22. The grading and constntction proposed for the master. plan area will not involve the applicatio use or disposal of hazardous materials or substances. 23. The allowed density associated with this project is contained in BLEP which essentially allows total of 451 new dwelling units to be built on the master plan property. This density is consiste: not only with BLEP but with the City‘s Growth Management Program and the Zone 9 Loc Facilities Management Plan (LFMP). While the applicant will be pursuing a State allowed 25 density bonus in conjunction with affordable housing units, the overall proposed density can 1 physically accommodated onsite and will not constitute a substantial altering of the area’s densit 24. The project proposes to construct housing units on the east side of the master plan. The west sic may create a need for housing in the area if the non-residential land uses for the west side a actualized. Overall, this project will supply housing units; not create a need for additional housin 25. The Poinsettia Shores project will generate less traffic than thegurrently allowed BLEP proje (approximately 26,500 ADT vs. 12,300 ADT) as documented in the applicant‘s traffic study 1 Urban Systems Associates, Inc. dared May 17,1993. A substantial increase in traffic wilt not res1 from the Poinsettia Shores project and all major roadways, through their alignment a classification, will be able to adequately serve the master plan. 26. A large demand for new parking facilities will not be created by the Poinsettia Shores Master Pla Each planning area and associated use will provide required parking per the code. 27. The proposed land uses of Poinsettia Shores will impact roadways and intersections more than tl currently vacant land does, however, it will be less of an impact than BLEP. As mentioned, tl planned circulation and roadway alignment system will be adequate to serve the area and be compliance with the Zone 9 LFMP. 28. The master plan site is outside of the McQellan-Palomar Airport influence area so no impacts or from air traffic will result. No waterborne traffic occurs in the vicinity and the operations the railroad right of way will not be impacted by the master plan or the planned railroad crossi bridge of Avenida Encinas. -9- 0 0 29. The master plan circulation system will include standard provisions for transportation systen accommodating vehicles with bicycle lanes and sidewalks for pedesman movements so that he will be no increased traffic hazards to motor vehicles, bicyclists or pedestrians. 30. The master plan's circulation system, as well as individual-planning areas' circulation, ~ill ' reviewed by all pertinent City departments to ensure that there will be no impacts to a emergency response procedures or evacuation plans. 31. The master plan has the potential to create a significant visual impact through the developme of structures near the lagoon environment. EIR 84-3 established certain development standar to act as visual mitigation to the impacts created by blufftop development. A 45-50 foot minimu structural setback from the blufftop was established and will be a minimum requirement f blufftop planning areas. A larger setback will be required through the master plan and pl& area approval processes. To assist in reducing visual impacts to insignificance, EIR 84-3 specifil a reduced building height limit for single story structures and a minimum percentage of single st01 units within a planning area. In addition, specifications were outlined with regards to access01 structures and allowances for public access/trails within the bluffrop setback area. EIR 84-3 ah required a buffer of at least 80 feet between the mobile home park to the north and any smctur~ within the master plan. Part of the mitigation program associated with this environmental revie and the master plan amendment will be the formulation of development standards designed mitigate visual impacts. Standards will be established for each blufftop planning area with tl master plan amendment approval. These standards will be similar, or more restrictive, to tho items outlined in EIR 84-3 and will include: a minknun structural setback from the Lakesho Gardens Mobile Home Park, a minimum structural blufftop setback, a reduced height limit fi single story smctures (based on the Citfs ament height definition), a minimum percentage ( single story structures per planning area, and provisions for public access/trails within blufftc setback areas. ap 32. No impacts to the quality or quantity of recreational opportunities will be created by tl development of the Poinsettia Shores Master Plan. The master plan will, however, creal recreational opportunities in the form of a recreational center with such amenities as a swimmir pool, tennis courts and passive areas. In addition, the master plan will provide a public accer lagoon blufftop trail along the project's southern perimeter. -1 0- 0 0. mwsrs OF WLE ALTERNATWES 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 project, and g) no project alternative. a) , The development of the master plan area will take place in at least two phases. The first pha will develop the east side of the master plan and the second phase will develop the west side. TI east side development may occur in more than one phase. b) No site designs for individual planning areas are being approved with this master pk amendment. However, some development standards will be established for planning areas 1 guide the site designs of individual planning areas. The circulation and roadway design I Avenida Encinas is being established by this amendment and is the result of staff’s review I ensure compliance with Citfs standards as well as to ensure a master planning approach to tl site. c) The proposed scale of development is in keeping with the allowed dwelling units available for tl master plh property and is less intense in non-residential square footage and scale than the BLE master plan. d) The area is zoned PC which requires a master plan. Since a master plan exists, an amendme: is the proper way to modify allowed land uses. The proposed residential land uses are compatib and acceptable alternatives to the educational uses allowed under BLEP. Agricultural uses are n economically viable or desired by the current master plan property owner. e>’ The west side of the master plan is set up to be planned in detail and developed at some futu time. Near term developments will focus on the east side’s residential planning areas. f) Conceivably, alternate sites for the proposed land uses exist. However, the subject master pla property is capable of accommodating the proposed land uses and no significant unmitigab: environmental impacts will be created. g) The no project alternative would leave the site mostly vacant and undeveloped as it currently i The City and existing residents within the master plan are antiapating continued planning ar development efforts on this property to remove the educational uses of BLEP. The no projej alternative does not contain significant environmental benefits. -1 1- e e 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 NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. - t find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, becau the environmental effects of the proposed project have already been considered in conjunctic with previously certified environmental documents and no additional environmental review required. Therefore, a Notice of Determination has been prepared. - X 1 find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, the will not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described on i attached sheet have been added to the project. A Mitigated Negative Declaration will proposed. . - I find the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and i ENVIRONMENTAL IMPAn REPORT is required. 55.
