Circulation - The local streets serving the project have 51 to 60 feet 01 right-of-way, and connect to Hidden Valley Road which is a non collector street. All the local, collector, and major streets within th would be constructed to full public street width standards, and hav gutters, sidewalks, and underground utilities. The proposed street sy adequate to handle the project’s pedestrian and vehicular trafl accommodate emergency vehicles; c. - Noise - A noise study was completed for the project, and noise frc airport and Palomar Airport Road can be mitigated with sound wa building construction techniques; d. The project is consistent with the Housing Element of the General PI; the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance since the Developer has been cond: to enter into an Affordable Housing Agreement to construct 8 second d units.

Native habitat impacts have been reduc PC RES0 NO. 3877 -2- I! 0 0 t 1 2 3 4 5 6 mitigated by the design of the project, in that the Cherry Blossc alignment is the most sensitive in terms of habitat and slope in follows: 1) The 0.05 acre take area is located outside of any Preserve I Areas (PPAs); 2) The habitat loss will not preclude connectivity between areas habitat values since this area is not included as a part of a Planning Area (LPA); 7 8 9 10 3) The habitat loss will not preclude or prevent the preparatio Carlsbad Habitat Management Plan in that the area is not a a Linkage Planning Area, makes no contribution to the preserve system and will not significantly impact the use of patches as archipelago or stepping stones to surrounding PPl 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 4) Mitigation for the loss of the 0.05 acres of Coastal Sage Scrul will be in the form of the acquisition of habitat credits as di above. The loss of habitat on the MSP California LLC prope not appreciably reduce the likelihood of the survival and reo the gnatcatcher; 5) The habitat loss is located in a disturbed area that is directly a' to Hidden Valley Road and the Poinsettia Community Park, thc large blocks of habitat will not be lost and fragmentation F occur; and , I 6) The habitat area being impacted is at the periphery of a larg habitat area; it is not in the center where the loss of habitat w( more important. f.
