. . ’. 0 0 . *. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
STATE CEQA GUIDELINES, Chapter 3, Article 5, Section 15063 requires that the Cii
conduct an Environmental Impact Assessment to determine if a project may have a significm
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 ;
use as the basis for deciding whether to prepare an Environmental Impact Report (EIR), Negativ
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 ar
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. ,
“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 adoptel
general standards and policies.
e “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.
e “Potentially Significant Impact” is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that a
effect is significant.
e Based on an “EIA-Part II”, if a proposed project could have a potentially significan
effect on the environment, but a potentially significant effects (a) have been analyze(
adequately in an earlier EIR or Mitigated Negative Declaration pursuant to applicabll
standards and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or Mitigatec
Negative Declaration, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upor
the proposed project, and none of the circumstances requiring a supplement to 01
supplemental EIR are present and all the mitigation measures required by the prio~
environmental document have been incorporated into this project, then no additiona’
environmental document is required (Prior Compliance).
e 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 EIR
pursuant to applicable standards and the effect will be mitigated, or a “Statement 0:
Overriding Considerations” has been made pursuant to that earlier EIR.
0 A Negative Declaration may be prepared if the City perceives no substantial evidence that
the project or any of its aspects may cause a significant effect on the environment.
3 Rev. 03/28/96
. .‘ e e . *.
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 thj
case, the appropriate “Potentially Significant Impact Unless Mitigation Incorporated
may be checked and a Mitigated Negative Declaration may be prepared.
An EIR must be prepared if “Potentially Significant Impact” is checked, and includin
but not limited to the following circumstances: (1) the potentially significant effect hd
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 ha
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, c
determine the effectiveness of a mitigation measure in reducing a potentially significar
effect to below a level of significance.
A discussion of potential impacts and the proposed mitigation measures appears at the end of th
form under DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION. Particular attentio,
should be given to discussing mitigation for impacts which would otherwise be determinec
significant.

Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQ
process, one or more effects have been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negativ
declaration. Section 15063(c)(3)@). In this case a discussion should identify th
following on attached sheets:
a) Earlier analyses used. Identify earlier analyses and state where they are availabl
for review.
b) Impacts adequately addressed. Identify which effects from the above checkli,
were within the scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursua]
to applicable legal standards, and state whether such effects were addressed b
mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis.
c) Mitigation measures. For effects that are “Less than Significant with Mitigatia
Incorporated,“ describe the mitigation measures which were incorporated (
refined from the earlier document and the extent to which they address sitc
specific conditions for the project.

DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION
The project is located at 4125 Skyline three lots south of Tamarack Avenue. The site
designated RLM which allows for the development of a single family dwelling, which is simil
to the existing development on and adjacent to the property. The applicant proposes to demoli:
an existing two story 2,939 square foot single family residence with a 537 square foot garai
and replace it with a new two story 4,091 square foot single family residence with a 1,069 squa~
foot garage. Associated grading to allow a pool adjacent to the structure will construct a ten foc
fill slope in the rear and six foot retaining walls on the side.
Housing - While the project reflects the continued gentrification of the Carlsbad area, ti
existing home is presently already within ths high income classification, therefore no affordab
housing extant is being displaced.
Water - The project would result in a minor increasxe in runoff, however, the onsite drainage wi
be discharged and dissipated consistent with City Standards to avvoid adverse impacts due t
surface runoff.
AIR OUALITY:
The implementation of subsequent projects that are consistent with and included in the updatec
1994 General Plan will result in increased gas and electric power consumption and vehicle mile
traveled. These subsequently result in increases in the emission of carbon monoxide, reactivl
organic gases, oxides of nitrogen and sulfur, and suspended particulates. These aerosols are thl
major contributors to air pollution in the City as well as in the San Diego Air Basin. Since thi
San Diego Air Basin is a “non-attainment basin”, any additional air emissions are considerec
cumulatively significant: therefore, continued development to buildout as proposed in thl
updated General Plan will have cumulative significant impacts on the air quality of the region.
To lessen or minimize the impact on air quality associated with General Plan buildout, a varietj
of mitigation measures are recommended in the Final Master EIR. These include: 1) provisions
for roadway and intersection improvements prior to or concurrent with development; 2) measure!
to reduce vehicle trips through the implementation of Congestion and Transportation Demanc
Management; 3) provisions to encourage alternative modes of transportation including mas:
transit services; 4) conditions to promote energy efficient building and site design; and 5:
participation in regional growth management strategies when adopted. The applicable an(
appropriate General Plan air quality mitigation measures have either been incorporated into tht
design of the project or are included as conditions of project approval.
Operation-related emissions are considered cumulatively significant because the project is
located within a “non-attainment basin”, therefore, the “Initial Study” checklist is marked
“Potentially Significant Impact”. This project is consistent with the General Plan, therefore, the
preparation of an EIR is not required because the certification of Final Master EIR 93-01, by City
Council Resolution No. 94-246, included a “Statement Of Overriding Considerations” for air
quality impacts. This “Statement Of Overriding Considerations” applies to all subsequenl
projects covered by the General Plan’s Final Master EIR, including this project, therefore, no
further environmental review of air quality impacts is required. This document is available at the
Planning Department.
CIRCULATION:

C’ e 0
The implementation of subsequent projects that are consistent with and included in the update
1994 General Plan will result in increased traffic volumes. Roadway segments will be adequx
to accommodate buildout traffic; however, 12 full and 2 partial intersections will be severe1
impacted by regional through-traffic over whch the City has no jurisdictional control. The:
Boulevard. Even with the implementation of roadway improvements, a number of intersectiol.
are projected to fail the City’s adopted Growth Management performance standards at buildout.
To lessen or minimize the impact on circulation associated with General Plan buildout, numerot
mitigation measures have been recommended in the Final Master EIR. These include 1
measures to ensure the provision of circulation facilities concurrent with need; 2) provisions t
develop alternative modes of transportation such as trails, bicycle routes, additional sidewalk,
pedestrian linkages, and commuter rail systems; and 3) participation in regional circulatio
strategies when adopted. The diversion of regional through-traffic from a failing Interstate c
State Highway onto City streets creates impacts that are not within the jurisdiction of the City 1
control. The applicable and appropriate General Plan circulation mitigation measures have eithe
been incorporated into the design of the project or are included as conditions of project approval,
Regional related circulation impacts are considered cumulatively significant because of th
failure of intersections at buildout of the General Plan due to regional through-traffic, therefort
the “Initial Study” checklist is marked “Potentially Significant Impact”. This project i
consistent with the General Plan, therefore, the preparation of an EIR is not required because th
recent certification of Final Master EIR 93-01, by City Council Resolution No. 94-246, include
a “Statement Of Overriding Considerations” for circulation impacts. This “Statement C
Overriding Considerations” applies to all subsequent projects covered by the General Plan’;
Master EIR, including this project, therefore, no further environmental review of circulatio~
impacts is required.
Biological Resources - The site has been previously disturbed by the construction of a singlc
