3.7 Land Use. Quantitative estimates of intensjty changes resulting from any planned land use location adjustnents associated with the road reallgnment wS1’ described. Intensity of development {dwelling unlts square footage of nonresidential uses} will be estim
based on General P1 an 7 and use and Local Facil i ties
Management Plan assumptions for intensity/density.
Land uses will be tabulated in General Plan 1 and use categories sufficlently spec1 f3c to make meaningful estimates of inpacts on trafflc and public facilitie Anticipated development will be compared to the curr Genera7 Pl an and Zon i ng .
3A Traffic Clrculaticm. Traffic consideratlons associated with the project will be reviewed by West Pringle & Associates to identify potentially signifi traffic impacts.
Existing traffic conditions in the area will be documented,, including the average dai7y traffic volu arterial streets, The data used in thfs analysjs wi obtained from the General Plan Traffic Circulation a Facil 1 ty tlanagement PI ans, and other avail able traff studies.
The analysis of future traffic conditions w171 inclu average dally traffic vo7 umes on arterial streets an will also rely on the General Plan Traff‘lc Circu’lati and Facility Management PI ans.

Sectton 3. Environmental Impact. This section will discuss the environmental setting, significant environmental effects, mitigation measures and appropriat City findings for each of the project impacts outlined below, organized in accordance with the environmental Impact checklist In the CEQA guidelines. CBA recommends this organization i'or the EIR in order to clearly demonstrate compliance with CEQA in revielving a complete 1 fst of project impacts.
The EIR will emphasize both site specific and regional, cumulative and growth-lnducing impacts of the project. Mitigation measures wtl1 be identified for these impacts and for anticipated project-specific impacts.
3,l Earth. Grading impacts including disruptions, displacements, compaction and overcovering of the soil in the project area w?ll be reviewed, Unique geological conditions that may affect development in the project area will be identified based on the supplemental sol1 and geologic investigation prepared for the project by GEOCON (January 1990). The GEOCON study includes suggested nlitfgation measures to reduce or avoid Impacts and includes a Wcodward-Clyde Consultants assessrnent of Impacts to the Stanley Mahr Reservoir which will be included in the section
discussion.
3.2. Air. Existing and historlc air quality in the Carl sbad area will be discussed, and the potential for this project (individually and cumulatively with other projects) to adversely affect air quality will be estimated using recogntzed ajr quality fmpact assessmen1 techniques. CBA's Cat 'tne 3 air pollutlon assessment mode? will be used to identify pollutant emissions from natural gas combustion, electric power generation and motor vehicle trips. Emissions wlll be re1 ated to
estl~llated em-1 ssions from the source/receptor area in which the project is 1 ocated. Tab1 es and/or graphs will be included to i'l'lustrate hlstoric air quality, emission factors, emission estimates, and the relation of
emissions to source/receptor area emissqons.

based on General Plan 1 and use and Local Faclli ties
Management Plan assumptions for intensity/denslty.
Land uses will be tabu1 ated in General P1 an land use
categorles sufficiently specific to make meaningful estimates of impacts on trafftc and public facilities. Anticipated development will be compared to the curren General P1 an and Zon-i ng .
3,8. Traffic Circulation. Traffic consideratlons
associated wfth the project will be reviewed by Weston Pringle & Associates to identify potentially significaq traffic impacts.
Existlng traffic conditions In the area will be documented, Including the average daily traffic volume arterial Streets. The data used in this analysis will obtained from the General Plan Traffic Circulation and Facility flanagement Plans, and other available trafflc studies.
The analysis of future traffic conditions wjll inclqde average daily traffic vol wes on artert a1 streets and wil I a1 so rely on the General Pi an Traffic Circulation and Facl1 i ty Management PI ans. Traffic growth from the
existing conditlon will be estimated, based on the futu land use scenario developed for the General Plan plus growth in background traffic. Traffic operational and safety concerns i ncludl ng truck rout i ng adjustments wi 1 be cons i dered .
Potential mitigation measures will be identified for
achieving acceptabl e short - and 1 ong- term future
conditions. Should deslgn revisluns to road configuration, occur (for example, modifScation to the Me1 rose/Rancho Santa Fe Road i ntersectj on) and addition; analysis be required, adjustment of the scope of work
