least one potentially significant effect 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlit
document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigatio
measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. A Mitigate
Negative Declaration is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to b

I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on th
environment, there WILL NOT be a significant effect in this case because all potentiall:
significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier Negative Declaratio:
pursuant to applicable standards and (b) have been voided or mitigated pursuant to thr
earlier Negative Declaration, including revisions or mitigation measures that are impose!
upon the proposed project. Therefore, a Notice of Prior Compliance has been prepared.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
STATE CEQA GUIDELINES, Chapter 3, Article 5, Section 15063 requires that the Cit
conduct an Environmental Impact Assessment to determine if a project may have a significar
effect on the environment. The Environmental Impact Assessment appears in the followin
pages in the form of a checklist. This checklist identifies any physical, biological and huma
factors that might be impacted by the proposed project and provides the City with information I
use as the basis for deciding whether to prepare an Environmental Impact Report (EIR), NegatiL
Declaration, or to rely on a previously approved EIR or Negative Declaration.
0 A brief explanation is required for all answers except “No Impact” answers that a]
adequately supported by an information source cited in the parentheses following eac
question. A “No Impact” answer is adequately supported if the referenced informatio
sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved. 1
“No Impact” answer should be explained when there is no source document to refer to, c
it is based on project-specific factors as well as general standards.
0 “Less Than Significant Impact” applies where there is supporting evidence that th
potential impact is not adversely significant, and the impact does not exceed adopte
general standards and policies.
0 “Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated” applies where the incorporatio
of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from “Potentially Significant Impact” to
“Less Than Significant Impact.” The developer must agree to the mitigation, and th
City must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce th
effect to a less than significant level.
0 “Potentially Significant Impact” is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that a1
effect is significant.
0 Based on an “EIA-Part 11”, if a proposed project could have a potentially significar
effect on the environment, but fi potentially significant effects (a) have been analyze1
adequately in an earlier EIR or Mitigated Negative Declaration pursuant to applicabl
standards and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or Mitigate1
Negative Declaration, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upo:
the proposed project, and none of the circumstances requiring a supplement to o
supplemental EIR are present and all the mitigation measures required by the prio
environmental document have been incorporated into this project, then no additions
environmental document is required (Prior Compliance).
0 When “Potentially Significant Impact” is checked the project is not necessarily requirec
to prepare an EIR if the significant effect has been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIE
pursuant to applicable standards and the effect will be mitigated, or a “Statement o
Overriding Considerations” has been made pursuant to that earlier EIR.
e
0 A Negative Declaration may be prepared if the City perceives no substantial evidence tha
the project or any of its aspects may cause a significant effect on the environment.
3 Rev. 03/28/96
-. e 0
0 If there are one or more potentially significant effects, the City may avoid preparing a
EIR if there are mitigation measures to clearly reduce impacts to less than significant, an
those mitigation measures are agreed to by the developer prior to public review. In th
case, the appropriate “Potentially Significant Impact Unless Mitigation Incorporatec
may be checked and a Mitigated Negative Declaration may be prepared.
0 An EIR must be prepared if “Potentially Significant Impact” is checked, and includir
but not limited to the following circumstances: (1) the potentially significant effect hr.
not been discussed or mitigated in an Earlier EIR pursuant to applicable standards, an
the developer does not agree to mitigation measures that reduce the impact to less tha
significant; (2) a “Statement of Overriding Considerations’’ for the significant impact hE
not been made pursuant to an earlier EIR; (3) proposed mitigation measures do not reduc
the impact to less than significant, or; (4) through the EIA-Part I1 analysis it is nc
possible to determine the level of significance for a potentially adverse effect, (
determine the effectiveness of a mitigation measure in reducing a potentially significsu
effect to below a level of significance.
A discussion of potential impacts and the proposed mitigation measures appears at the end of tk
form under DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION. Particular attentio
should be given to discussing mitigation for impacts which would otherwise be determine’
significant.

DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION
PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
The applicant has requested approval of a Floodplain Special Use Permit as required pursuant to th
approval of the Rancho Carlsbad Mobilehome Park, Residential Mobilehome Park Permit (RMH
96-01), which was approved for the conversion of the mobilehome park from a rental park, to
condominium ownership park. The City's Floodplain Management Regulations (Chapter 21 .I 10 (
the Carlsbad Municipal Code) have been established to promote the public health, safety and gener;
welfare, and to minimize public and private losses due to flood conditions in areas subject t
potential flooding. Rancho Carlsbad Mobilehome Park is located along the banks of the Agu
Hedionda Creek in the northeast quadrant of the City of Carlsbad. The mobilehome park is existin
and fully developed with mobilehome coaches, recreational amenities, recreational vehicle storagt
landscaping and maintenance and laundry facilities. No new mobilehome park development i
proposed as part of this project. Conditions have been added to the project, which will reduc
flooding impacts to the mobilehome park. One of the conditions requires the construction of a berr
or dike to keep flood water on the adjacent golf course property (which the park owners lease) an
out of the mobilehome park. The dike is to be located between the developed golf course an
Rancho Carlsbad Drive. This portion of the site is fully developed with landscaping and pavemen
No sensitive resources are located within the area recommended for dike construction. The projec
site is located on the east side of El Camino Real at Rancho Carlsbad Drive in Local Facilitie
Management Zone 15.
I. LAND USE AND PLANNING
Rancho Carlsbad Mobilehome Park is an existing development. The site is designated fo
Residential Medium (RM) and Residential Low Medium (RLM) uses in the Carlsbad General Plar
and the existing use is consistent with this designation. The site is zoned Residential Mobilehom
Park (RMHP) consistent with the existing mobilehome park use. The proposed floodplai
management standards applied to this project will not conflict with applicable environmental plan
or policies adopted by agencies with jurisdiction over the project, as no alterations are propose
within the Agua Hedionda Creek or within any areas of the park which are not already developec
The existing use of the property is compatible with the existing residential development to the west
golf course to the south and with the planned uses on undeveloped property to the north and east. A:
the mobilehome park is fully developed, and no new mobilehome development is proposed as part o
this project, the project will not disrupt any agricultural operations nor disrupt or divide the physica
arrangement of an established community.
11. POPULATION AND HOUSING
The mobilehome park is existing. The 504 units within the park were accounted for in the adoptec
Zone 15, Local Facilities Management Plan. Therefore, the existing project will not exceed officia
regional or local population projections, nor induce substantial growth directly or indirectly in to th'
area. The mobilehome park is existing and no new development is proposed as part of thi:
application, and as such, will not displace existing housing.
111. GEOLOGIC PROBLEMS
The lots of the mobilehome park were previously graded and developed. Due to the project sit!
location, the project is not subject to seiche, tsunami, volcano hazards, landslides, mud slides o
unique geologic or physical features. The project site is not located in an area where active faults arc
10 Rev. 03/28/96
6 0 present. The Rose Canyon fault is the closest active fault to this site, which would subject th
existing park to ground shaking. All units are required to be anchored to their sites and constructe
pursuant to state building code requirements, which minimizes impacts to units from groun
shaking.
IV. WATER
A portion of Agua Hedionda Creek runs through the existing Rancho Carlsbad Mobile Home Par1
The existing channel of Agua Hedionda Creek has been found inadequate to handle the 100 ye:
flood. Certain overbank areas along the channel are within the floodplain and therefore subject 1
inundation. A Hydraulic Study by Dr. Howard Chang identified limits of the 100 year flood whic
include those units on exhibit “A”, attached. The amount of flood over the existing bank has bee
calculated to range from 0 to 3’ depending on the position of the land along the creek.
The Special Use Permit processed by Rancho Carlsbad Mobile Home Park has identified those area
of flooding and has recommended certain conditions to maintain a reasonably safe conditio
throughout the park. As conditioned, and with the recommendations of Manitou Engineering, an
Dr. Howard Chang, flood hazards will be reduced to a level of less than significant. The followin
are conditions which address flooding within the Rancho Carlsbad Mobilehome Park. Thes

11 Rev. 03/28/96
0 0 V. AIR QUALITY
The project is the development of a floodplain management plan consistent with the City’
Floodplain Management Regulations (Chapter 21.1 10 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code) for a
existing mobilehome park. No traffic will be generated by this project. Further, this project will nc
expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, create objectionable odors, nor alter air movement, moistur
or temperature.
VI. TRANSPORTATION/CIRCULATION
The project is the development of a floodplain management plan consistent with the City’
Floodplain Management Regulations (Chapter 21.1 10 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code) for a
existing mobilehome park. No roadways will be impacted nor traffic generated by this project.
VII. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES
The project site is fully developed with coaches, roadways, recreational facilities, RV storag
facilities, maintenance facilities and accessory facilities. A dike is recommended to be constructel
along the north side of the golf course, adjacent to Rancho Carlsbad Drive to prevent flooding of th
roadway. This dike will not be located within any areas of sensitive resources including near c
within the Agua Hedionda Creek. This project, will therefore, not impact endangered, threatened o
rare species or their habitat, disturb wetland habitat nor impact wildlife dispersal or migratiol
corridors.
VIII. ENERGY AND MINERAL RESOURCES
The proposed project involves the creation of a floodplain management program for an existini
mobilehome park of which a portion of the park is located within the 100 year floodplain. Thl
project will have no impact on energy or mineral resources nor conflict with any adopted energ
conservation plan.
IX. HAZARDS
The proposed project involves the creation of a floodplain management program for an existing
mobilehome park, of which a portion of the park, is located within the 100 year floodplain. Excepl
for potential flood hazards, as discussed above in Section IV, Water, the project is not subject to an)
hazards including risk of explosion or release of hazardous materials, creation of a health hazard no1
increased fire risks. A condition of this project includes the preparation of an emergency evacuatior
plan. This will ensure that the project will not interfere with any City emergency response plans 01
emergency evacuation plans.
X. NOISE
The proposed project involves the creation of a floodplain management program for an existing
mobilehome park, of which a portion of the park, is located within the 100 year floodplain. The only
noise associated with this project is temporary construction noise for development of the dike, which
is regulated under the City’s Noise Ordinance (Chapter 8.48 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code).
12 Rev. 03/28/96
0 0 XI. PUBLIC SERVICES
As the project only involves the creation of a floodplain management plan for an existin
mobilehome park, no impacts to public services, including fire protection, police protection, school
maintenance of public facilities or governmental services are anticipated.
XII. UTILITIES AND SERVICES SYSTEMS
As the project only involves the creation of a floodplain management plan for an existin
mobilehome park, no impacts to utilities and service systems are anticipated.
XIII. AESTHETICS
The proposed project involves the development of a floodplain management program which include
the construction of a dike. The dike looks like a berm and will be located along the edge of the go
course adjacent to Rancho Carlsbad Drive. The dike will not significantly impact the visui
appearance of the mobilehome park. The project will not create light or glare, nor negatively impac
a scenic highway or vista.
XIV. CULTURAL RESOURCES
The Rancho Carlsbad Mobilehome Park is an existing development. Improvements include paving
landscaping, graded pads and concrete slabs for placement of mobilehomes, accessory facilities, RF
storage facilities, and recreation facilities. The only improvement proposed as part of this project i
the construction of a berm (or dike) along the south side of Rancho Carlsbad Drive, to keep potentia
flooding within the golf course boundaries, and off of the roadway. The area to be disturbed i.
developed with pavement and landscaping. There are no known paleontological, archeological, o
historical resources located within the mobilehome park.
XV. RECREATION
The existing mobilehome park includes recreational amenities including a club house, tennis courts
and pool and spa. The existing mobilehome park is a senior development which will not increase thc
demand for regional or local recreational facilities, nor affect existing recreational opportunities.
XVI. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE
As discussed above, no significant adverse environmental impacts are anticipated with the Ranchc
Carlsbad Mobilehome Park SUP, including environmental impacts such as the degradation of thc
environment, reduction of wildlife habitat or species, reduction of range, or elimination of importan
examples of California History or prehistory. Further, the project does not pose impacts that arc
individually limited, but cumulatively considerable, nor will the project have environmental effect!
which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly.
Alternatives:
Project alternatives are required when there is evidence that the project will have a significani
adverse impact on the environment and an alternative would lessen or mitigate those adverse
impacts. Public Resources Code section 21002 forbids the approval of projects with significanl
adverse impacts when feasible alternatives or mitigation measures can substantially lessen suck
impacts. A “significant effect” is defined as one which has a substantial adverse impact. Mitigatior
13 Rev. 03/28/96
.I e 0 measures required as conditions of project approval will reduce the identified potentially significal
impacts to insignificant levels; therefore, no discussion of alternatives is necessary.

ADDENDUM TO MITIGATED DECLARATION
RANCHO CARLSBAD MOBILEHOME PARK SUP 96-1 0
October 23, 1997
This addendum is meant to clarify the difference between the mitigation condition
outlined in the Mitigated Negative Declaration (August 11, 1997) and the mitigatel
Negative Declaration Resolution for the proposed Rancho Carlsbad Mobilehome Par
Special Use Permit.
A Mitigated Negative Declaration was published for the above application on August 11
1997. Mitigation measures were included within this document to minimize potenti;
flooding impacts which could occur to the mobilehome park during a 100-year flooc
The applicants and owners of the park agreed to the proposed conditions; however, thi
action occurred early during the planning process. The measures were general i
nature so that the project could comply with the City’s floodplain regulations while sti
allowing the opportunity for final design details and improvements to e worked out. Thi
design evolution has resulted in a modified set of mitigation measures that can b
found in Planning Commission Resolution NO. 4203. The mitigation measures found i
the Mitigated Negative Declaration have now been updated and superseded by thos
found in the resolution. The applicants also agree to the conditions outline in th
resolution.
All environmental impacts continue to be mitigated.
