ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT
FOR
LA COSTA VALE UNITS 2-4
April 24, 1973
TO: PLANNING COMMISSION
FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT NO. 35
ACCEPTABILITY OF DRAFT REPORT:
The draft report titled "Environmental Impact Report:La Costa
Vale Units 2 through 4, Carlsbad, California", proposed by La Costa
Land Company, and prepared by Rick Engineering Company, was accepted
by the Director of Planning as the preliminary E.I.R. This report
was then forwarded to the following agencies for their review:
1. San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board
2. IREM (County)
3. CPO (County)
4. State Department of Fish & Game
5. San Diego Ecology Centre
6. Department of Sanitation and Flood Control (County)
7. Phil Stanbro (Environmental Consultant)
8. Museum of Man (San Diego)
The only agencies to reply were the Museum of Man, Dept. of Fish
and Game, and the Dept. of Sanitation & Flood Control. These comments
are attached to this report. The points raised will be discussed in
this report.
FINAL REPORT:
1. Project Description
The information provided in the draft EIR on Pgs. 1-4 gives an
adequate description of the proposed project.
2. Environmental Setting Without the Project
Pages 4-9 of the draft EIR provide an adequate description of the
environmental setting without the project.
3. Identify Environmental Impacts
The draft EIR, on Pgs. 9-13 identifies the basic environmental
FSnal EIR/La Costa Vale Units 2-4 April 19, 1973
on theimpacts of the development. Emphasis should be placed
following:
a. Change of natural land form - Approximately 3,000,000
cubic yards of dirt are proposed to be moved to accommo-
date this development. Of prime import is the protection
of the character of San Marcos Canyon. The developer's
engineer has worked closely with Staff to minimize this
possible impact.
b. The removal of vegetation and subsequent displacement of
wildlife.- The comments received from the State Department
of Fish & Game are some of the best received to date from
outside reviewing agencies. They look at the long-range
effect of the development on wildlife and the effect's
relationship on adjoining areas. Please read this letter
(attached).
c. Change in method of drainage - The drainage on the project
site will change from overland sheet flow and flow in
natural channels to flow in street gutters and in an under-
ground storm drain system. This action will basically
eliminate natural ground water recharge and ultimately
might cause some unknown latent effect on the environment.
d. Municipal Services - Any project of this size will have
an effect on municipal services such as fire, police, school
system, utilities and roads.
4. Any Adverse Environmental Effects Which Cannot Be Avoided Should
the Proposal Be Implemented
Page 14 of the Draft EIR provides this information.
5. Mitigation Measures Proposed To Minimize the Impact
The developer's proposals are found on Pages 15-17 of the Draft
EIR. These, and Staff's, have been included as conditions of approval
of the Tentative Map, wherever possible.
6. Alternatives to the Proposed Action
Alternatives are found on Pages 18-19 of the Draft EIR.
7. The Relationship Between Local Short-Term Uses of Man's
Environment and the Maintenance and Enhancement of Long-Term
Envi ronmental Productivity.
Page 20 of the Draft EIR provides this information.
FINAL E!R/La Costa Vale Units 2-4 April 1?, 1973
; Page 3
8. The Growth Inducing Impacts of the Proposed Activity Upon
the Neighborhood and/or Community '. '
The connection of La Costa Avenue with Rancho Santa Fe Road
will be the most significant growth inducing impact.
See Page 22 of the Draft EIR.
9. The Boundaries of the Area Which May be Significantly Affected
by the Proposed Activity
Page 23 of the Draft EIR provides this information.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the acceptance of the Final Environmental
Impact Report consisting of the Draft EIR, renlies from outside re-
view agencies, and this analysis.

known as La Costa Vale Units 2 and 3 (formerly 2 thru 4). The average
density of the overall development is 6.35 dwelling units per acre. The
net density (excluding school sites, park and easements) is 7.9 dwelling
units per acre.

been approved. The site basically consists of rolling hills and gentle
valleys and is cut in half by a 100' San Diego Gas and Electric Company
