CASE NAME:
PROJECT LOCATION:
CANNON LIFT ZONE CHANGE
Southeast side of Cannon Road west of El Camino Real
CASE NO: ZC 03-02LCPA 03-04
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The proposed action is a zone change for two parcels adjacent to
the Canterbury (Kelly Ranch) development on the southeast side of Cannon Road west of El
Camino Real containing a detention basin and a sewage lift station. The request is to change the
current R-3-Q (Multiple Family Residential with Qualified Overlay) zoning to 0-S (Open Space)
zoning to achieve consistency with the current OS (Open Space) General Plan designation on the
property.
PROPOSED DETERMINATION: The City of Carlsbad has conducted an environmental
review of the above-described project pursuant to the Guidelines for Implementation of the
California Environmental Quality Act and the Environmental Protection Ordinance of the City of
Carlsbad. As a result of said review, the initial study (EIA Part 2) did not identify any potentially
significant impacts on the environment. Therefore, staff is recommending that the Planning
Commission recommend adoption of a Negative Declaration to the City Council.
A copy of the initial study (EL4 Part 2) documenting reasons to support the proposed Negative
Declaration are on file in the Planning Department, 1635 Faraday Avenue, Carlsbad, California
92008. Comments from the public are invited. Please submit comments in writing to the
Planning Department within 30 days of the date of this notice.
The proposed project and Negative Declaration are subject to review and approvalladoption by
the City of Carlsbad Planning Commission and City Council. Additional public notices will be
issued when those public hearings are scheduled. If you have any questions, please call Elaine

DETERMINATION: The City of Carlsbad has conducted an environmental review of the above
described project pursuant to the Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental
Quality Act and the Environmental Protection Ordinance of the City of Carlsbad. As a result of said
review, the initial study (EM Part 2) did not identifl any potentially significant impacts on the
environment, and the City of Carlsbad finds as follows:
The proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment.
0 The proposed project MAY have “potentially significant impact(s)” on the environment, but
at least one potentially significant impact 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier
document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation
measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. (Negative
Declaration applies only to the effects that remained to be addressed).
[7 Although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there
WILL NOT be a significant effect in this case because all potentially significant effects (a)
have been analyzed adequately in an earlier ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT or
NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards and (b) have been avoided
or mitigated pursuant to that earlier ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT or
NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed
upon the proposed project. Therefore, nothing further is required.

9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION/ ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING AND SURROUNDING LAND
USES:
The proposed action is a zone change for two parcels adiacent to the Canterbury (Kelly
Ranch) development on the southeast side of Cannon Road containing a detention basin and a
sewage lift station. The request is to change the current R-3-0 (Multiple Family Residential
with Qualified Overlay) zoning to 0-S (Open Space) zoning to achieve consistency with the
current OS (Open Space) General Plan designation on the property.
The proiect site consists of two small parcels created during the development of the Kelly
Ranch proiect specifically to accommodate a detention basin and a sewage lift station
necessary for the neighboring development. The detention basin and a temporary sewage lift
station already exist on the site. The temporary lift station will be replaced by a permanent
lift station in late-2003 pursuant to a previously approved Conditional Use Permit. Site
Development Plan, and Coastal Development Permit. No other development is intended for
these two small parcels. The current R-3-0 (Multiple Family Residential) zoning on the site
is not consistent with the OS (Open Space) General Plan designation of the property. By
changing the zoning from R-3-0 to 0-S (Open Space), the property would then be zoned
consistent with its General Plan desimation.

DETERMINATION.
(To be completed by the Lead Agency)
I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a
NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there
will not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described on an
attached sheet have been added to the project. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION
will be prepared.
I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
I find that the proposed project MAY have “potentially significant impact(s)” on the
environment, but at least one potentially significant impact 1) has been adequately analyzed in an
earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation
measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. A Negative Declaration
is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed.
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there
WILL NOT be a significant effect in this case because all potentially significant effects (a) have
been analyzed adequately in an earlier ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT or NEGATIVE
DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards and (b) have been avoided or mitigated
pursuant to that earlier ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT or NEGATIVE
DECLARATION, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the
proposed project. Therefore, nothing further is required.
Rev. 07/03/02
STATE CEQA GUIDELINES, Chapter 3, Article 5, Section 15063 requires that the City conduct an
Environmental Impact Assessment to determine if a project may have a significant effect on the
environment. The Environmental Impact Assessment appears in the following pages in the form of a
checklist. This checklist identifies any physical, biological and human factors that might be impacted by
the proposed project and provides the City with information to use as the basis for deciding whether to
prepare an Environmental Impact Report (EIR), Negative Declaration, or to rely on a previously
approved EIR or Negative Declaration.
A brief explanation is required for all answers except “No Impact” answers that are adequately
supported by an information source cited in the parentheses following each question. A “No
Impact” answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the
impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved. A “No Impact” answer should be
explained when there is no source document to refer to, or it is based on project-specific factors
as well as general standards.
“Less Than Significant Impact” applies where there is supporting evidence that the potential
impact is not significantly adverse, and the impact does not exceed adopted general standards
and policies.
“Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated” applies where the incorporation of
mitigation measures has reduced an effect from “Potentially Significant Impact” to a “Less Than
Significant Impact.” The developer must agree to the mitigation, and the City must describe the
mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant
level.
“Potentially Significant Impact” is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect is
significantly adverse.
Based on an “EIA-Part II”, if a proposed project could have a potentially significant adverse
effect on the environment, but &l potentially significant adverse effects (a) have been analyzed
adequately in an earlier EIR or Mitigated Negative Declaration pursuant to applicable standards
and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or Mitigated Negative
Declaration, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed
project, and none of the circumstances requiring a supplement to or supplemental EIR are present
and all the mitigation measures required by the prior environmental document have been
incorporated into this project, then no additional environmental document is required.
When “Potentially Significant Impact” is checked the project is not necessarily required to
prepare an EIR if the significant adverse effect has been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR
pursuant to applicable standards and the effect will be mitigated, or a “Statement of Overriding
Considerations” has been made pursuant to that earlier EIR.
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 adverse effect on the environment.
If there are one or more potentially significant adverse effects, the City may avoid preparing an
EIR if there are mitigation measures to clearly reduce adverse impacts to less than significant,
4 Rev. 07/03/02
and those mitigation measures are agreed to by the developer prior to public review. In this 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 including but not
limited to the following circumstances: (1) the potentially significant adverse effect has not been
discussed or mitigated in an earlier EIR pursuant to applicable standards, and the developer does
not agree to mitigation measures that reduce the adverse impact to less than significant; (2) a
“Statement of Overriding Considerations” for the significant adverse impact has not been made
pursuant to an earlier Em, (3) proposed mitigation measures do not reduce the adverse impact to
less than significant; or (4) through the EIA-Part 11 analysis it is not possible to determine the
level of significance for a potentially adverse effect, or determine the effectiveness of a
mitigation measure in reducing a potentially significant effect to below a level of significance.
A discussion of potential impacts and the proposed mitigation measures appears at the end of the form
under DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION. Particular attention should be given to
discussing mitigation for impacts, which would otherwise be determined significant.

f) Result in insufficient parking capacity?
g) Conflict with adopted policies, plans, or
programs supporting alternative transportation
(e.g., bus turn-outs, bicycle racks)?
XVI.UTILITIES AND SERVICES SYSTEMS -
Would the project:
Exceed wastewater treatment requirements of
the applicable Regional Water Quality Control
Board?
Require or result in the construction of new
water or wastewater treatment facilities or
expansion of existing facilities, the construction
of which would cause significant environmental
effects?
Require or result in the construction of new
storm water drainage facilities or expansion of
existing facilities, the construction of which
could cause significant environmental effects?
Have sufficient water supplies available to serve
the project from existing entitlements and
resources, or are new or expanded entitlements
needed?
Result in a determination by the wastewater
treatment provider, which serves or may serve
the project that it has adequate capacity to serve
the project’s projected demand in addition to
the provider’s existing commitments?
Be served by a landfill with sufficient permitted
capacity to accommodate the project’s solid
waste disposal needs?
Comply with federal, state, and local statutes
and regulations related to solid waste?

XVII. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF
SIGNIFICANCE
Does the project have the potential to degrade
the quality of the environment, substantially
reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species,
cause a fish or wildlife population to drop
below self-sustaining levels, threaten to
eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce
the number or restrict the range of a rare or
endangered plant or animal or eliminate
important examples of the major periods of
California history or prehistory?
Does the project have impacts that are
individually limited, but cumulatively
considerable? (“Cumulatively considerable”
means that the incremental effects of a project
are considerable when viewed in connection
with the effects of past projects, the effects of
other current projects, and the effects of
probable future projects?)
Does the project have environmental effects,
which will cause the substantial adverse effects
on human beings, either directly or indirectly?

XVIII. EARLIER ANALYSES
Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA
process, one or more effects have been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative
declaration. Section 15063(c)(3)(D). In this case a discussion should identify the following on
attached sheets:
a) Earlier analyses used. Identify earlier analyses and state where they are available for
review.
b) Impacts adequately addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were
within the scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to
applicable legal standards, and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation
measures based on the earlier analysis.
c) Mitigation measures. For effects that are “Less .Than Significant with Mitigation
Incorporated,” describe the mitigation measures, which were incorporated or refined
from the earlier document and the extent to which they address site-specific conditions
for the project.

DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION
AESTHETICS
No Impact. Since no development is proposed, there would be no impacts to the aesthetic qualities of
the city. The existing and planned future development on the site (the existing detention basin and
existing temporary and future permanent sewage lift stations) have already undergone all necessary
environmental review and have received all necessary discretionary permits.
AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES
No Impact. The subject property has not been in agricultural use recently and would not be expected to
be in such use in the future. The two small parcels were created specifically to accommodate a detention
basin and a sewage lift station needed for the development of the neighboring residential development.
AIR QUALITY
No Impact. This zone change will not impact the City’s air quality. The existing detention basin and
sewage lift station are the only uses expected to ever be on the site. Both are necessary to serve the
adjoining residential development.
BIOLOGICAL and CULTURAL RESOURCES
No Impact. The proposed zone change will not result in impacts to biological or cultural resources. The
detention basin and the temporary sewage pump station already exist on the site. The future permanent
sewage lift station has already undergone all necessary environmental review and has received all
necessary discretionary permits.
GEOLOGY/SOILS
No Impact. The proposed zone change will not result in impacts to geology or soils. The detention
basin and the temporary sewage pump station already exist on the site. The future permanent sewage lift
station has already undergone all necessary environmental review and has received all necessary
discretionary permits.
HAZARDSIHAZARDOUS MATERIALS
No Impact. This zone change request does not involve the use or movement of such materials. The
detention basin and the temporary sewage pump station already exist on the site. The future permanent
sewage lift station has already undergone all necessary environmental review and has received all
necessary discretionary permits.
HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY
No Impact. This zone change would not result in impacts to hydrology or water quality. The detention
basin and the temporary sewage pump station already exist on the site. The future permanent sewage lift
station has already undergone all necessary environmental review and has received all necessary
discretionary permits.
LAND USE PLANNING
No Impact. The proposed zone change is necessary to achieve consistency between the General Plan
designation and the zoning on the subject property. The site is currently designated OS (Open Space) on
17 Rev. 07/03/02
the City's General Plan. However, it has a zoning designation of R-3-Q (Multiple Family Residential
with a Qualified Overlay), which is inconsistent with the OS General Plan designation. The R-3-Q
zoning on the property is an inadvertent carry-over from previous designations and zoning on the
property (prior to the development of the Kelly Ranch residential development). The two subject parcels
are currently and will remain in use only to accommodate the necessary detention basin and sewage lift
station. No residential development would ever be planned for the two parcels. By changing the zoning
to 0-S (Open Space) the necessary General Pladzoning consistency will be achieved.
MINERAL RESOURCES
No Impact. This zone change would not result in impacts to mineral resources. The detention basin and
the temporary sewage pump station already exist on the site. The hture permanent sewage lift station
has already undergone all necessary environmental review and has received all necessary discretionary
permits.
NOISE
No Impact. This zone change would not result in noise impacts. The detention basin and the temporary
sewage pump station already exist on the site. The future permanent sewage lift station has already
undergone all necessary environmental review and has received all necessary discretionary permits.
POPULATION/HOUSING/PUBLIC SERVICES
No Impact. This zone change would not result in impacts to population, housing, or public services.
The detention basin and the temporary sewage pump station already exist on the site. The future
permanent sewage lift station has already undergone all necessary environmental review and has received
all necessary discretionary permits.
RECREATION
No Impact. This zone change would not result in impacts to recreation facilitiesheeds. The detention
basin and the temporary sewage pump station already exist on the site. The future permanent sewage lift
station has already undergone all necessary environmental review and has received all necessary
discretionary permits.
TRANSPORTATION/TRAFFIC
No Impact. This zone change would not result in transportatiodtraffic impacts. The detention basin
and the temporary sewage pump station already exist on the site. The future permanent sewage lift
station has already undergone all necessary environmental review and has received all necessary
discretionary permits.
