Jft|}L CITY MGR^tl RECOMMENDED ACTION: The Planning Staff recommends that this application be APPROVED and that the City Council ADOPT Resolution No. 113 \ ITEM EXPLANATION This item is a request by Seabluff Associates for City Council approval of an annexation of 170 acres of land, generally located west of Batiquitos Lagoon, between Interstate 5 and the AT&SF Railroad tracks. The property was prezoned on August 3, 1982, to RD-M and 0-S. On January 10, 1983, the Local Agency Formation Commission adopted a Resolution of Annexation for this property. A copy of this resolution is attached for your review. The last remaining discretionary action to complete the annexation is the adoption of a Resolution of Annexation by the City Council. Approval of this annexation would be consistent with the City Council's annexation policy. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The City Council certified the Environmental Impact Report for this property on July 6, 1982. A copy of the environmental documents is on file in the City Clerk's Office. FISCAL IMPACT The annexation of this property will generate additional revenue from property taxes which should offset the cost of providing public services to the site. EXHIBITS A.

Annexation of the territory, as described in the application on file with the Local Agency Formation Commission, to the City of Carlsbad. 2. Detachment of the territory as described an the application on file with the Local Agency Formation Commission, from the Leucadia County Water District. WHEREAS, the petition of landowners was certified sufficient by the Executive Officer on January 5, 1983 ; and WHEREAS, the Executive Officer of this Commission has filed his report on said proposed reorganization, which report has been considered by this Commission, NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT THIS COMMISSION HEREBY FINDS, DETERMINES AND ORDERS, as provided in Government Code Section 56250 et seq. as follows: 1. The description of the boundaries of the Territory as described in the petition is not definite and certain , but will be made so by modification to conform to Exhibit "A" attached hereto. 2. The description of the boundaries of the Territory does conform to lines of assessment and ownership. R082-21 3. All owners of land have consented in writing to the proposed reorganization. 4. The Territory includes 170 acres and is uninhabited. 5. The Commission certifies that it has reviewed and considered the information contained in the EIR prepared by the City of Carlsbad. The Commission adopts the Environmental Findings required by Section 15088 of the State CEQA Guidelines for each significant impact identified by the EIR, as stated on Exhibit "C" attached hereto. The Commission finds, pursuant to Section 15119(b) of the State CEQA Guidelines, that an additional 4.47 acre parcel is not subject to the environmental impact evaluation process because the proposal area is undeveloped, but is of minimum size for the construction/installation of new small facilities or structures as defined by Section 15103. The Commission further finds, pursuant to Section 15060 of the State CEQA Guidelines, that an additional 16.53 acre parcel consisting of State freeway right-of-way is not subject to the environmental impact evaluation process because there is no possibility for the proposed project to significantly impact the environment, and the activity is not covered by the requirements set forth in CEQA or the State CEQA Guidelines. 6. The Commission hereby approves a proposed reorganization consisting of annexation of the territory described in Exhibit "A" attached hereto to the City of Carlsbad, and detachment of the territory described in Exhibit "A" attached hereto from the Leucadia County Water District, subject to the conditions as stated on Exhibit "B" attached hereto. 7. Pursuant to Government Code Section 56271.1 the City of Carlsbad is hereby authorized to initiate reorganization proceedings in compliance with Government'Code Section 56430 et seq. and this resolution, without notice and hearing and without an election. 8. The Executive Officer of this Commission is directed to mail and file certified copies of this resolution in accordance with Government Code Section 56272. - 2 - PASSED AND ADOPTED by the Local Agency Formation Commission of the County of San Diego this loth day of January , 19 83. by the following vote: AYES: Commissioners Eckert, Hedgecock, Bennett, Lake, Hersom, and Hostler NOES: None ABSENT: Commissioner Mahr ABSTAINING: None STATE OF CALIFORNIA) COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO) I, WILLIAM D.

Approved by the Local Agency Formation Commission of San DiegoExhibit "B" JAN 101983 <=30kAA*^ &• At#tL> i Executive Officer of said Commission ENVIRONMENTAL SUMMARY AND FINDINGS FOR SIGNIFICANT EFFECTS OF PROPOSED "SEABLUFF REORGANIZATION" Lead Agency: City of Carlsbad _ goCo I. fc SUMMARY Impacts a Agriculture; The proposed annexation would indirectly lead to the ultimate conversion of agricultural land. It is therefore considered to have a potentially significant impact to agricultural resources. Traffic Circulation: The Seabluff project would generate 4480 daily trips upon ultimate buildout. Assuming the proposed road improvements in the adopted Circulation Plan are completed, Seabluff-generated traffic when added to other approved or proposed project traffic would result in significant impacts to the Carlsbad circulation system. However, Seabluff would only contribute an estimated 10 to 11 percent of the ADT at post project and circulation system buildout. Seabluff- generated traffic is therefore not a significant impact by itself, but the cumulative effects of other development with significantly higher traffic generation would bring ADTs .to above acceptable levels. Archaeology; A field survey of the property located six previously recorded archaeological sites. Since the project proposes no development plans, the proposed annexation and prezone will not cause any direct impacts to these sites. Community Services; The proposed project would not have a significant impact on any community services within the project area. However, it is anticipated that a combined effect on population from the ultimate development of this site and other developments in the vicinity over the next several years will require increases in levels of community services. Geology and Seismicity: The proposed annexation of the project site by the City of Carlsbad would not entail any geotechnical impacts. Hydrology: No direct impacts will be caused by the proposed annexation and prezone. Potential sedimentation impacts as a result of this proposed project could result at the time of ultimate development. Water Quality; No direct impacts to water quality are anticipated from the annexation and prezone alone. However, future impacts at the time of development may be anticipated but are considered a very small incremental contribution to the total contaminant load. Biological Resources: Since the project proposes no specific development plans, the proposed annexation and prezone by themselves will not cause any direct adverse biological effects. A potential effect of ultimate site development could be the alteration of bluff Exhibit "C" , -.I *—• R082-21 Page Two habitat important to the Cactus Wren (Campylorhynchus brunneicapillum) and the Black-Tailed Gnatcatcher (Polioptila melanura californica), two declining bird species. Noise: There would be no noise-related impacts associated with annexation of the project site by the City of Carlsbad. Ultimate development of the site to residential land would also not entail significant impacts, with the exception of a narrow strip of land along the top of the roadway embankment at the site's eastern boundary, where there is a direct line of sight to 1-5. Mitigation Measures Agriculture: Impacts can be mitigated to a level of insignificance through restrictions placed on future development of the project site which would allow for agricultural preservation on a portion of the property. Such a mixed-use program of development would be consistent with the policies of the San Dieguito LCP and the conceptual agricultural policy of the City of Carlsbad. Specific conditions for preserving the agricultural land should be established when future development is proposed and should be a permit requirement. Traffic Circulation; Assuming Seabluff development precedes other planned development, the proposed road improvements as described in the adopted Circulation Plan if constructed would enable the Carlsbad circulation system to adequately handle the increase in Seabluff- generated traffic. Archaeology: To appropriately manage the cultural resources upon the subject property for future development, a program of preservation/ impact mitigation is recommended. A preservation program of any or all of the cultural resource areas could eliminate potential development impacts. Community Services: Impacts related to future cumulative development increases on fire and police protection can be mitigated by the City of Carlsbad by 1) increasing fire department staffing by two officers; or 2) increasing police department staffing by three officers. Geology/Seismicity: In the event that the site is developed for urban land use, a detailed subsurface soil and engineering geology investigation should be conducted to provide grading, foundation, and construction recommendations prior to final design. Hydrology: The implementation of an effective erosion control program would minimize potential hydrological impacts (see below). Water Quality: Potential sedimentation impacts could be mitigated by the implementation of a comprehensive erosion control program in conformance with the City of Carlsbad's grading ordinance. The 1 i R082-21 Page Three ordinance requirements should be strictly enforced by periodic site inspections. In addition, grading activities should be permitted only during the summer dry season to reduce the potential for erosion and sedimentation of the lagoon, and the graded site should be hydro- seeded to reduce the erosion potential during the phased construction. Biological Resources: The proposed project would subsequently zone the bluffs and lagoon habitats of the site as O-S (Open Space), thus removing this land from potential development. It is recommended that any future development be set back from the bluff edge to create a buffer zone between human activity and natural habitat zones. Noise: Specific impacts and required mitigation such as setback - " distances or noise attenuation barrier design should be determined at the time individual portions of the site are prepared for development, FINDINGS Pursuant to Section 15088(a) of the State EIR Guidelines, find that the mitigation measures listed above for the identified impacts have been or can and should be adopted by the City of Carlsbad, and that the mitigation is within the jurisdiction of the City of Carlsbad and not LAFCO because the affected resources and services will be within the City limits upon annexation. 0 DATE: / r.R.A.
