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.

CASE NAME: Cannon Lift Zone Change 2. LEAD AGENCY NAME AND ADDRESS: City of Carlsbad 3. CONTACT PERSON AND PHONE NUMBER: Elaine Blackburn 760-602-462 1 4. PROJECT LOCATION: Southeast side of Cannon Road west of El Camino Real 5. PROJECT SPONSOR'S NAME AND ADDRESS: City of Carlsbad. Planning DeDartment, 1635 Faraday Avenue, Carlsbad, CA 92008 6. GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: OS 7. ZONING: R-3-Q TO 0-S 8. OTHER PUBLIC AGENCIES WHOSE APPROVAL IS REQUIRED (Le., permits, financing approval or participation agreements): N/A 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. 1 Rev. 07/03/02 ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS POTENTIALLY AFFECTED: The summary of environmental factors checked below would be potentially affected by this project, involving at least one impact that is a “Potentially Significant Impact,” or “Potentially Significant Impact Unless Mitigation Incorporated” as indicated by the checklist on the following pages. 0 Aesthetics 0 Geology/Soils 0 Noise 0 Agricultural Resources 0 Air Quality 0 Hydrology/Water Quality 0 Public Services 0 Biological Resources 0 Land Use and Planning 0 Recreation 0 Hazardshlazardous Materials Popu1ation and Housing 0 Cultural Resources 0 Mineral Resources TransportatiodCirculation 0 Utilities & Service Systems Mandatory Findings of Significance 2 Rev. Q7lQ3lQ2 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. 5 Rev. 07/03/02 Issues (and Supporting Information Sources). I.

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? 0 0 cl 0 0 0 0 0 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. 16 Rev. 07/03/02 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 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.
