:NVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
TATE CEQA GUIDELINES, Chapter 3, Article 5, section 15063 requires that the City conduct
nvironmental Impact Assessment to determine if a project may have a significant effect on the environme
'he Environmental Impact Assessment appears in the following pages in the form of a checklist. 7'
hecklist 8 identifies any physical, biological and human factors that might be impacted by the propo:
roject and provides the City with information to use as the basis for deciding whether to prepare
nvironmental Impact Report or Negative Declaration.
A Negative Declaration may be prepared if the City perceives no substantial evidence that the project
any of its aspects may cause a significant effect on the environment. On the checklist, "NO" will be checl
to indicate this determination.
An EIR must be prepared if the City determines that there is substantial ovidcncc that any aspect of
project may cause a significant effectcon the environment. The project may qualify for a Negatj
Declaration however, if adverse impacts are mitigated so that environmental effects can be deem
insinnificant. These findings are shown in the checklist under the headings "YES-sig" and "YES-ins
respectively.
discussion of potential impacts and the proposed mitigation measures appears at the end of the form unc:
ISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION. Particular attention should be given to discussi
litigation for impacts which would otherwise be determined significant.

MANDATOKY FINDINGS OF SIGNII~ICANCE
VILL THE PROPOSAL DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY: YES YES NO (six) (insix)
3. 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
IeveIs, 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. X
1. 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 ogxrs in a
relatively brief, definitive period of
time while long-term impacts will
endure well into the future.)
5. 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.)
i. Does the project have environmental
effects which will cause substantial
adverse effects on human beings,
either directly or indirectly?

DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION
The proposed Zone Code Amendment is a change in text of the Zoning Ordinance that discriminates bett
residential dwelling units and commercial living units, as well as, allows time share projects in comme
tourist and general commercial zones with the issuance of a conditional use permit. ‘I’he project thert
is non site specific and prior to any approval of physical projects the requirements of the Calif(
Environmental Quality Act will be met. Historically the City of Carlsbad’s Growth Management P~I:
considered uses such as time share projects and professional care facilities commercial enterprises, bu
Zoning Ordinance has not specifically recognized such distinction; the amendment may be viewed
clarification through codification of existing policy.

ANALYSIS 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 project is a zone code amendment without site or phasing specificity therefore an analysis of alterne cemporal and spatial relarionships provides no potentia1 benefit. Any physical project that is devek
through the auspices of this amended code section will be analyzed with complete regard for the Califc
Environmental Quality Act.

IETERMINATION (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 thc environment, and a NEGATI
DECLARATION will be prepared.
- I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, because environmental effects of the proposed project have already been considered in conjunction M
previously certified environmental documents and no additional environmental review is requir
Therefore, a Notice of Determination has been prepared.
- I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there I
not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measurcs 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 ENVIRONMEN? IMPACT REPORT is required.
