MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION
Project Address/Location: Northwest quadrant at the corner of Park Drive and Monra
Street
Project Description: Coastal Development Permit Amendment and Site Deveiopmer
Plan Amendment to construct 14 single family homes and tw
second dwelling units on previously subdivided and graded lots i
the R- 1 - 10,000 zone.
The City of Carlsbad has conducted an environmental review of the above described projel
pursuant to the Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act an
the Environmental Protection Ordinance of the City of Carlsbad. As a result of said review, tk
initial study (EIA Part 2) identified potentially significant effects on the environment, but (1
revisions in the project plans or proposals made by, or agreed to by, the applicant before tk
proposed negative declaration and initial study are released for public review would avoid tk
effects or mitigate the effects to a point where clearly no significant effect on the environmel
would occur, and (2) there is no substantial evidence in light of the whole record before the Cit
that the project “as revised” may have a significant effect on the environment. Therefore,
Mitigated Negative Declaration is hereby issued for the subject project. Justification for th;
action is on file in the Planning Department.
A copy of the Mitigated Negative Declaration with supportive documents is on file in th
Planning Department, 2075 Las Palmas Drive, Carlsbad, California 92009. Comments fiom th
public are invited. Please submit comments in writing to the Planning Department within 3
days of date of issuance. If you have any questions, please call Anne Hysong in the Plannin
Department at (760) 438-1 161, extension 4477.

DETERMINATION.
(To be completed by the Lead Agency) - u I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on tj
environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
- u I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on ~
environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigatic
measures described on an attached sheet have been added to the project. A NEGATIi
DECLARATION will be prepared.
I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
I find that the proposed project MAY have significant effect(s) on the environment, but
least one potentially significant effect 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlj
document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigatil
measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. A Mitigat
Negative Declaration is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to
addressed. - u I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on t
environment, there WILL NOT be a significant effect in this case because all potential
significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier pursuant to applical
standards and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier, includi:
revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project. Therefol
a Notice of Prior Compliance has been prepared.

STATE CEQA GUIDELINES, Chapter 3, Article 5, Section 15063 requires that the Cj
conduct an Environmental Impact Assessment to determine if a project may have a significa
effect on the environment. The Environmental Impact Assessment appears in the followi
pages in the form of a checklist. This checklist identifies any physical, biological and hum
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), Negati
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 infomatic
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,
. it is based on project-specific factors as well as general standards.
0 “Less Than Significant Impact” applies where there is supporting evidence that tl
potential impact is not adversely significant, and the impact does not exceed adopt1
general standards and policies.
6
0 “Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated” applies where the incorporatic
of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from “Potentially Significant Impact” to
“Less Than Significant Impact.” The developer must agree to the mitigation, and tl
City must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce tl.
effect to a less than significant level.
0 “Potentially Significant Impact” is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that 2
effect is significant.
0 Based on an “EIA-Part 11”, if a proposed project could have a potentially significa
effect on the environment, but @J potentially significant effects (a) have been analyze
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 Mitigate
Negative Declaration, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upo
the proposed project, and none of the circumstances requiring a supplement to c
supplemental EIR are present and’ all the mitigation measures required by the pric
environmental document have been incorporated into this project, then no addition;
environmental document is required (Prior Compliance).
0 When “Potentially Significant Impact” is checked the project is not necessarily require
to prepare an EIR if the significant effect has been analyzed adequately in an earlier EL
pursuant to applicable standards and the effect will be mitigated, or a “Statement o
Overriding Considerations” has been made pursuant to that earlier EIR.
0 A Negative Declaration may be prepared if the City perceives no substantial evidence thz
’ the project or any of its aspects may cause a significant effect on the environment.
3 Rev. 03/28/96
0 .. -
0 If there are one or more potentially significant effects, the City may avoid preparing
EIR if there are mitigation measures to clearly reduce impacts to less than significant, a
those mitigation measures are agreed to by the developer prior to public review. In tl
case, the appropriate “Potentially Significant Impact Unless Mitigation Incorporate
may be checked and a Mitigated Negative Declaration may be prepared.
0 An EIR must be prepared if “Potentially Significant Impact” is checked, and includi
but not limited to the following circumstances: (1) the potentially significant effect h
not been discussed or mitigated in an Earlier ‘EIR pursuant to applicable standards, a
the developer does not agree to mitigation measures that reduce the impact to less th
significant; (2) a “Statement of Overriding Considerations” for the significant impact h’
not been made pursuant to an earlier EIR; (3) proposed mitigation measures do not redu
the impact to less than significant, or; (4) through the EIA-Part I1 analysis it is n
possible to determine the level of significance for a potentially adverse effect,
determine the effectiveness of a mitigation measure in reducing a potentially significa
effect to below a level of significance.
A discussion of potential impacts and the proposed mitigation measures appears at the end of tl
form under DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION. Particular attentic
should be given to discussing mitigation for impacts which would otherwise be determinl
significant.

XVII. EARLIER ANALYSES.
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 negatil
declaration. Section 15063(c)(3)@). In this case a discussion should identify tl.
following on attached sheets:
a) Earlier analyses used. Identify earlier analyses and state where they are availab
for review.
b) Impacts adequately addressed. Identify whch 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
Pro-iect Description
The project consists of a coastal development permit amendment and a site development pl
amendment allowing 14 one and two story single family residences and two attached sed01
dwelling units formerly approved as detached second dwelling units on previously subdivid
and graded single family lots located in the northwest quadrant within the boundaries of t
Mello I1 LCP segment and R-1-10,000 zone.
c
Environmental Analysis
Ia/b/c. Land Use
Placement of the single family units on the lots require compliance with Chapter 21.10 (R-:
One Family Residential Zone) of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. The R-1 zone provic
development standards for setbacks, building coverage, and building height and the proposc
development meets or exceeds all minimum setback, building coverage, and building heig
standards.
The subject site is located withm the boundaries of the City’s Mello I1 LCP segment and
subject to the requirements of the Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone, however, due to I
previously graded condition, none of the regulations apply to the project. The site is not locatl
in the Coastal Shoreline Overlay Zone; therefore, the preservation of public views is n
applicable. As stated above, the project is in compliance with the R-1 zone developme
standards for setbacks, building coverage, and building height. As required by the gradil
permit issued for the site, construction of the project will adhere to the City’s Master Draina;
and Storm Water Quality Management Plan and Grading Ordinance to avoid increased runc
and soil erosion.
The single family homes are compatible with surrounding single family development in that tl
proposed craftsman architectural styles utilizing wood siding and shingles with cultured st0
and river rock elements, shake tile roofs, and 4 muted colors schemes are similar to arch~tectu~
styles, materials and colors found in the adjacent neighborhoods. Two single story and 12 tw
story units are proposed, and except for the two units proposed with second dwelling units ab0
the garages, the detached and attached garages on each lot are single story. This is consiste
with the existing neighborhood which consists of a mix of one and two story units. Although tl
neighborhood currently consists of more single story homes than two story homes, there is r
zoning restriction limiting remodels of existing homes to single story. It is therefore possib
that in the future the mix of one and two story homes will change dramatically.
V. Air Quality
The implementation of subsequent projects that are consistent with and included in the updatr
1994 General Plan will result in increased gas and electric power consumption and vehicle mil’
traveled. These subsequently result in increases in the emission of carbon monoxide, reactil
organic gases, oxides of nitrogen and sulfur, and suspended particulates. These aerosols are tl
major contributors to air pollution in the City as well as in the San Diego Air Basin. Since tl
San Diego Air Basin is a “non-attainment basin”, any additional air emissions are considerc
cumulatively significant: therefore, continued development to buildout as proposed in tl
updated General Plan will have cumulative significant impacts on the air quality of the region.
10 Rev. 03/28/96
*
i
e a
z To lessen or minimize the impact on air quality associated with General Plan buildout, a varie
of mitigation measures are recommended in the Final Master EIR. These include: 1) provisio~
for roadway and intersection improvements prior to or concurrent with development; 2) measurc
to reduce vehicle tips through the implementation of Congestion and Transportation Demax
Management; 3) provisions to encourage alternative modes of transportation including ma
transit services; 4) conditions to promote energy efficient building and site design; and
participation in regional growth management strategies when adopted. The applicable a
appropriate General Plan air quality mitigation measures have either been incorporated into tl
design of the project or are included as conditions of project approval.
Operation-related emissions are considered cumulatively significant because the project
located within a “non-attainment basin”, therefore, the “Initial Study” checklist is marke
“Potentially Significant Impact”. Ths project is consistent with the General Plan, therefore, tl
preparation of an EIR is not required because the certification of Final Master EIR 93-01, by Cil
Council Resolution No. 94-246, included a “Statement Of Overriding Considerations” for a
quality impacts. This “Statement Of Ovemding Considerations” applies to all subsequel
projects covered by the General Plan’s Final Master EIR, including this project, therefore, I:
further environmental review of air quality impacts is required. This document is available at t1
Planning Department.
VI. Circulation
a) The City has received its annual Growth Management Traffic Monitoring Report and the
Report has recorded an unanticipated intersection “level of service” (LOS) failure at Paloma
Airport Road (PAR) and El Camino Real (ECR) during both the a.m. and p.m. peak hours. This
potentially creates a changed circumstance negating reliance on previous environmental
documentation. Pursuant to 0 15 162 of the CEQA Guidelines a lead agency must prepare
“subsequent” environmental documentation if substantial evidence (i.e., the recorded
intersection failure) determines that a changed circumstance exists. However, case law has
interpreted this section of the CEQA Guidelines to not require the preparation of a “Subsequenl
EIR” if mitigation measures are adopted which reduce the identified impacts to a level of
insignificance.
A mitigation measure has been identified which, if implemented, will bring the peak hours LOS
into the acceptable range. The mitigation measure involves construction of two dual right turn
lanes-northbound to eastbound and westbound to northbound.. This project has been
conditioned to pay its fair share of the intersection “short-term improvements” thereby,
