4. That the street systems serving the proposed use are adequate to properly hand
traffic generated by the proposed use, in that the proposed use is consistent with tl
analyzed in the circulation analysis prepared for Program EIR 94-01 fo
Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan. With required street improvements the pr
specific impacts can be mitigated to a level less than significant. Over1
considerations were previously adopted for the cumulative impact to 1-5 and S:
Visitors will be directed by signage to reach the park using Cannon Road to L
Drive. The private section of LEGO Drive south of the roundabout will co
four lanes and toll plaza structures with a total of six windows. An analysi
been prepared for the proposed private section of LEGO Drive by K
Associates the firm which completed the traffic analysis for the Carlsbad R
Specific Plan Amendment Program EIR and the Zone 13 Local Fac
Management Plan. The analysis concluded that a total of 5,695 feet of stc
would be needed to accommodate the anticipated conditions along LEGO L
The proposed design of LEGO Drive utilizing reversible lanes would function VI
inbound lanes and one outbound lane during the peak inbound period.
proposed design will provide a total of 7,310 feet of storage therefore, all vel
will be ab'le to stack on site.
5. The Planning Commission finds that:
a. there was an EIR certified in connection with the prior Specific
Amendment (SP 207(A)) and related actions and a Statement of Overr
Considerations was adopted for cumulative impacts to air qui
agriculture, and traffic which cannot be fully mitigated. The cumul
impacts are regional in nature and occur in areas outside the jurisdictic
the City;
b. the project has no new significant environmental effect not analyzed as signil
in the prior EIR ; and
c. none of the circumstances requiring Subsequent or a Supplemental EIR 1
CEQA Guidelines Sections 15 162 or 15 163 exist.
6. The Planning Commission finds that all feasible mitigation measures or pr
alternatives identified in EIR 94-01 which are appropriate to this Subsequent Pr
have been incorporated into this Subsequent Project.
7. The project is consistent with the City-Wide Facilities and Improvements Plan
applicable local facilities management plan and all City public facility policies
ordinances since:
a. The project has been conditioned to ensure the building permits will not be is
for the project unless the District Engineer determines that sewer servic
available, and building cannot occur within the project unless sewer se~

project site falls inside the 60 and 65 CNEL noise contours and the proposed
use is a compatible use at these noise levels.
