MENTAL IMPACT REPORT
FOR THE REVHBV OF THE ZONE 20 SPECIFIC
PLAN - EIR W-03
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
That the City Council ADOPT Resolution No. P-3 8/ , authorizing the Mayor to enter into
an agreement with the consulting firm Brian Mooney Associates to prepare an Environmental
Impact Report for the Zone 20 Specific Plan, and Resolution No. y&-38& authorizing Sunbelt
Development, Ocean Bluff Partners, Bramalea California Inc., Beztak of California, and Carlsbad
Heights Associates to provide funding for the Environmental Impact Report.
ITEM EXPLANATION
The Zone 20 Specific Plan is a long range land use plan that covers a 636 acre area located south
of Palomar Airport Road, west of El Camino Real, east of Paseo De1 Norte, and north of the
Aviara Master Planned Community. The purpose of the Zone 20 Specific Plan is to provide a
framework to guide future development in the area and to implement the General Plan.
As a part of the review of the Zone 20 Specific Plan, staff has determined that an Environmental
Impact Report should be prepared. Staff has expressed these concerns to the project applicants,
and per City policy they have agreed to pay the full cost for the preparation of the Environmental
Impact Report. An agreement to this effect is attached.
Requests for proposals were sent to six consulting firms and only two firms responded. The bids
for the preparation of the EIR were $62,727.00 and $64,627.00. For each proposal submitted,
the Planning Department conducted a thorough review of the scope of work, the subconsultants
to be used, qualifications and costs.
Based on the review of the proposals, staff recommends that Brian Mooney Associates be
selected to prepare the Environmental Impact Report for the review of the Zone 20 Specific
Plan. Brian Mooney Associates’ bid of $62,727.00 was the lowest bid received, their proposal was
the most comprehensive, utilized the least number of subconsultants, and they are a full service
environmental consulting firm with good qualifications.
FISCAL IMPACT
The applicants, Sunbelt Development, Ocean Bluff Partners, Bramalea California Inc., Beztak of
California, and Carlsbad Heights Associates are responsible for the provision of the funding for
the Environmental Impact Report. Funds will be deposited with the City in a trust account, upon
approval and execution of this agreement. Administrative costs of processing the EIR will be
partially offset by the $5,000.00 EIR processing fee.

RECITALS
WHEREAS, the APPLICANT has filed with CITY a request for approval of
a proposed project identified as Zone 20 Specific Plan requiring an Environmental Impact
Report (EIR); and
WHEREAS, CITY has determined that its current staff is inadequate in
number to process the proposed EIR in a timely and thorough manner; and
WHEREAS, APPLICANT in order to ensure the expeditious processing of
said EIR desires to pay to CITY the amount necessary to hire a Consultant.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and conditions, it is
agreed as follows:
1. The CITY will engage the firm of Brian Mooney & Associates
hereinafter referred to as “Consultant” to perfqrm the necessary work
in the processing and monitoring of the EIR for that area more
particularly depicted upon a site map attached as Attachment “A”
and made a part of this agreement.
2. It is understood that the Consultant services shall conform to the

project as directed by the Planning Director.
It is understood that the CITY will direct the Consultant to complete

cost of preparing the report is less than the APPLICANT’s advance,
any surplus will be refunded to APPLICANT by CITY.
It is understood that the Consultant shall be an independent
contractor of the CITY. The APPLICANT agrees to permit the
Consultant to enter upon his property and to perform all work
thereon as the Consultant deems necessary to complete the EIR. It

Reference: Addendum to Zone 20 Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report Proposal
Dear Mr. Gibson:
In response to our telephone conversations of July 23 and 24, 1990, I have prepared the following addendum to our previously-prepared proposal dated July 3, 1990. The addendum concerns several environmental issues identified as “optional” in our earlier proposal, as well an expanded range of services for cultural resources. The scope of services for each of these issues is discussed below. This is followed by a cost summary.
Additional Environmental Issues
1.
0 BFMA staff will review the surrounding area from both an existing land use
perspective and a planned land use perspective. This will include a review
of existing parcels, their present use, and the uses designated by the applicable planning policies such as the adopted City General Plan and the Zoning Ordinance. The compatibility of the proposed project with surrounding land use, especially adjacent open space areas, and existing properties will be analyzed and described.
0 Features of the Specific Plan, both internal and external to the project, which
may create land use conflicts, disruption to existing land use activities, or
significant adverse changes to existing community character, will be
evaluated. Potential land use conflicts could include perceived problems with land use intensification or from increased noise and traffic. Land use impacts from the various alternatives and their significance will be addressed.
0 Compatibility of proposed land uses within the Zone 20 Specific Plan area will be assessed relative to the McClellan Palomar Airport influence area as depicted on the Comprehensive Land Use Plan for McClellan Palomar Airport in conformance with the City of Carlsbad’s Policy No. 17.

Jeff Gibson City of Carlsbad Page 2
0 Where and when appropriate, mitigation measures from both a project and policy level will be identified and recommended and monitoring procedures will be included in the mitigation monitoring program.
2. Public Services/Fiscal Impact Analysis
0 An increase in public services demand will occur as a result of implementation of the proposed project, including fire protection, police
protection, schools, parks, and roadway maintenance.
0 Existing public services as well as those included in the Zone 20 Local Facilities Management Plan will be evaluated and estimations for public service demand for the proposed project area will be provided.
0 The analysis will quantify the Specific Plan’s public service/infrastructure
demand and evaluate the capacity of existing/proposed facilities to meet
projected demand The Facilities Financing Plan for Zone 20 will be evaluated to determine if current financing projections are adequate to meet future needs. Any newly identified on- or off-site improvements and the amount and type of additional public services necessary to serve the Specific
Plan area will be presented in the EIR. The fiscal impact of providing these
facilities will be identified.
0 Where and when appropriate, mitigation measures from the proposed project on these issues identified in the technical report will be recommended and outlined in the EIR and monitoring measures will be provided in the
monitoring program.
0 The Zone 20 Specific Plan area is situated in a sensitive paleontological area. BFMA has obtained a commitment from the paleontological consulting firm BMW Paleoassociates to provide services for the Zone 20 EIR. A study
should be conducted to determine the potential for significant paleontological
resources and assess the potential for impacts from implementation of the proposed specific Plan.
0 A records search for the Zone 20 area should be conducted and areas of sensitivity identified. A field reconnaissance of the area should also be conducted to determine the possibility for significant paleontological resources
could exist. A determination of the paleontological sensitivity should then be mapped in concert with an analysis of underlying geological formations of
the area.
.
Jeff Gibson City of Carlsbad Page 3
0 A technical report should be prepared identifying those areas of
paleontological sensitivity and an analysis of potential impacts from
implementation of the Specific Plan. An EIR summary and EIR section should then be prepared and incorporated into the Draft and Final Program
EIR.
0 Where and when appropriate, mitigation measures from the proposed project on these issues i&ntified in the technical report will be recommended and outlined in the EIR and monitoring measures will be provided in the monitoring program.
4. -
0 A review of technical reports already prepared for certain areas within Zone 20 will be undertaken. An archaeological record search of the entire Zone 20 will be solicited. BFMA will perform an archaeological survey of the “Area 1” portion of Zone 20 in accordance with City of Carlsbad and Society of Professional Archaeologists (SOPA) standards. This proposal does not include any testing or evaluation of site eligibility for the National Register of Historic Places.
0 A technical report will be prepared that summarizes the axchaeological resources identified within Area 1 of Zone 20. Within Area 2, those areas with previously identified resources or with the potential for significant or
sensitive archaeological resources will be delineated. An assessment of
potential impacts to cultural resources will be summaked and presented in
the EIR.
0 A listing of potential impacts and mitigation measures will be provided in the Summary and EIR Sections of the report
Cost Summary
The cost of the environmental impact analyses described above is summarized below:
0 Land Use and Land Use Compatibility $3,440
0 Public Services/Fiscal Impact Analysis $4,800
0 Paleontology $2,250
0 Cultural Resources $5,516

to function as a multi-disciplinary team in solving complex land use and environmental issues associated with public and private development projects. Individuals from both the Environmental and Plating Divisions of BFMA will be assigned to the proposed EIR
preparation.
The Environmental Planning Division is responsible for assessing environmental impacts resulting from the implementation of projects, determining the significance of those impacts, and developing measures necessary to eliminate or reduce those impacts
to a level acceptable to the regulatory agency. BFMA staff members maintain close
contact with all governmental agencies involved with land use and environmental review and regularly work in conjunction with project civil engineers, architects, financial planners, and other consultants.
BFMA’s Planning Division provides a diverse background in public policy and
regulatory procedures through which complex land use, environmental, and public goals can most effectively be achieved. This expertise has been applied in the preparation of
General Plans and Specific Plans for public and private clients; and in the preparation
of zoning codes and development guidelines through which plans are implemented. Through a team approach to all projects, the Planning Division is able to use its
combined expertise in a process of goal development, alternatives analysis, plan
formulation and project realization.
Environmental Proiects
Since its founding, BFMA has prepared well over 250 environmental documents
spanning the entire gamut of environmental analyses. BFMA has prepared environmental documentation for Master Planned communities and numerous commercial projects including civic and neighborhood commercial centers in the cities of Escondido, El
Centro, Encinitas, and Santee; the Centerside I project in Mission Valley; and the Santa
Fe Commons Commercial Center in the County of San Diego. Most recently, BFMA has served as extension of staff for the San Diego County Water Authority, the Ramona Municipal Water District, and the Olivenhain Municipal Water District, providing complete environmental services in the preparation of Environmental Impact Reports.
Also, BFMA has served as extension of staff for the City of El Centro and the County
of San Diego on several important community development projects.
Below are some examples of our .project experience in completing Environmental
Impact Reports and planning studies for large scale, complex projects including an EIR
on a Specific Plan for a mixed use, master planned community, and a Program EIR for a large redevelopment project along the San Diego River. Below these examples are additional examples of BFMA’s diverse experience in preparing environmental and land
planning studies.
Ranch0 San Dieeo EIR/Snecific Plan: Specific Plan and Environmental Impact Report for 2,963-acre development project. The approved development plan
includes 6,188 dwelling units, a mixed-use Town Center, other commercial and
employment centers, recreation facilities, schools, parks, and habitat preservation areas. The adopted Specific Plan was a result of detailed comparative analysis of
project alternatives within the EIR. Environmental issues analyzed by BFMA staff
were Biology, Visual Quality/Land Form, Traffic, Archaeology, Noise, Land Use, Public Services, Air Quality, Hydrology/Water Quality, Geology/Soils, and Energy.
upper San Dieno River Improvement Project (USDRIP) Program EIR: BFMA prepared a Draft and Final Program Environmental Impact Report on a
Redevelopment Plan for the Upper San Diego River Improvement Project for the Redevelopment Agency of the County of San Diego. The Program EIR addressed
the environmental issues associated with the adoption of a proposed
Redevelopment Plan for an area of approximately 600 acres. Based on initial
environmental evaluations of the proposed Plan, environmental issues were
identified as being potentially significant and were evaluated in the PEIR. The environmental analyses for the EIR focused on Land Use, Flood Control, Biology,
Traffic/Circulation, Cultural Resources, Public Services/Fiscal, and Air Quality,
Growth Inducement, and Cumulative Impacts. Two project alternatives were also addressed and evaluated as part of the overall environmental evaluation. The EIR is to be used to gain approval and eventual adoption of the Redevelopment Plan
by the Redevelopment Agency of the County of San Diego. Implementation of the Plan will in turn require additional approvals which would be subject to
additional review pursuant to CEQA, including, for example, General Plan
Amendment, Zone Reclassification, and Major Use Permits, as well as others.
Upper San Die?0 River Improvement Project Specific Plan!EIR: BFMA prepared the Specific Plan and the EIR for the Specific Plan for the USDRIP project, which
includes commercial and industrial redevelopment and riparian habitat restoration. Land uses are being proposed that will prevent the spread of blight and blighting
influences throughout the project area and allow redevelopment to occur that is
expected to have an overall beneficial impact on the Lakeside revitalization efforts underway. The environmental impact report consisted of an analysis of biological resources, cultural resources, land use, traffic/circulation, flood control, geology/soils, noise, air quality, visual, and public services. Additional work will
include 404 permit processing and a wetlands delineation program to determine
16
overall impacts to biological resources and to develop a revegetation program for the newly created flood control channel. The analysis focused on a proposed project and four alternative projects, as well as the no project alternative.
Ranch0 Cielo Environmental Imuact ReDort/SDecific Plan: BFMA prepared the Specific Plan and Environmental Impact Report for the 2800 acre master planned “high-end” residential community. The project consisted of 700 residential lots,
neighborhood commercial, recreation, country club, sewer plant, reclaimed water system, and heliport. Besides providing environmental services for the EIR and
Specific Plan, BFMA has processed the Major Use Permit, Tentative Maps, Final Maps, and Grading Permits. BFMA’s scope of work included overall master planning, specific plan and environmental impact report; all government processing, management of all consultants.

Work Plan
A Notice of Preparation will be completed and provided to City staff for
circulation during which time a public scoping meeting will be held and EIR preparation will begin. A Draft Program EIR will be prepared that independently assesses the
environmental impacts as a result of implementation of the Specific Plan application for
the Zone 20 project. The Draft Program EIR will address those sections and issues outlined in the City’s Request for Proposal, and those required by Article 9, Sections 15120 through 15132 of the State CEQA Guidelines. These include Title Page, Table
of Contents, Introduction and Project Description, Executive Summary, General
Environmental Setting, Agriculture, Air Quality, Biology, Circulation, Cultural Resources,
Noise, Soils (Pesticide Residues), Visual, Cumulative Impacts, and Growth Inducement. Mandatory sections required by CEQA, along with an assessment of Project Alternatives, will also be included. A discussion of the Project Scoping task and a brief summary and
outline of the PEIR is presented below in order to ensure City Staff that all issues are identified and analyzed during PEIR preparation.
Project Scoping
The RFP identifies technical studies prepared for associated projects within Zone 20 that are available for review and analysis for the Program EIR. It is proposed that BFMA staff will obtain copies of all reports and provide a thorough review and critical
evaluation. Each report will be independently evaluated by BFMA technical specialist
and generalist staff to determine its adequacy in addressing the environmental issues under consideration. Information contained in the technical reports will be used to the extent possible in the preparation of the Program EIR. BFMA staff will meet with City
staff to discuss the evaluation of these documents and develop a list of issues necessary
for inclusion in the PEIR and their appropriate levels of analysis. Writing of the Draft
EIR will commence during the NOP circulation period and Project Scoping task.
Preliminary discussions will also be held with City staff at this time to determine
feasible project alternatives which best respond to environmental constraints identified in the Draft Specific Plan and technical reports.
EIR Contents
1. Introduction and Project Description. As required by CEQA, the Introduction will
serve to identify to the public and reviewing agencies the purpose, authority, and
organization of the EIR. A User’s Guide to the EIR will be provided to assist in quick access to particular sections within the EIR. The Introduction will summarize the location and size of the proposed project. Earlier ElRs and technical reports for the immediate area will be referenced and summarized to place the current project in perspective.

environment will be provided in order to place the project in perspective and provide a framework from which to understand and assess significant
environmental effects of the proposed project and identified alternatives. The proposed project’s relationship to existing land uses in the area, as well as existing City General Plan land use designations for the area, will be discussed. This analysis will enable the proposed project to be placed within its environmental context in order to cross-check and ensure that all potential significant effects have been identified and are adequately addressed. Previously prepared environmental
settings included in earlier reports will be used to the degree possible.
Detailed Environmental Analysis. According to the RFP, various environmental issues have been identified as having the potential to be significantly impacted
from implementation of the proposed project. The issues outlined below were identified as having the potential to be significantly impacted from the proposed
project. The overall PEIR will be prepared and all sections will be written under
the direct supervision of the Project Manager. The issues to be analyze include:
A. Agricultural Land
0 Impacts related to the conversion of agricultural land to nonagricultural uses can be considered significant as indicated by State CEQA Guidelines (Section 15000 et. seq.) if it found that
converting prime agricultural land to non-agricultural use impairs the agricultural productivity of prime agricultural land. Both a summary section and an EIR section will be provided.
22
0 An analysis to consider the impact to the community from the potential loss of agricultural land from land uses proposed in the Specific Plan will be conducted. The analysis will also consider the potential for neighboring agriculture to abandon farming and the cumulative loss of agricultural land in San Diego County.
0 Analysis will also concentrate on assessing impacts to community
character, plans and policies of Carlsbad relative to agricultural goals, and other community impacts such as the loss of prime agricultural
land, impacts on the area’s economics, and the visual changes likely to occur.
0 Analysis of agricultural lands relative to the proposed Specific Plan will also be addressed in various sections of the Program EIR, namely land use, visual, cumulative impacts, and growth inducement.
0 Where and when appropriate, mitigation measures from an analysis of the impacts will be provided and appropriate monitoring measures
will be included.
B. Air Quality
0 Long-term and short-term air quality impacts may occur as a result of the proposed project. An assessment on the air quality from
activities associated with project development, including construction
and projected traffic trip generations, will be provided to determine
if significant impacts are possible. This assessment will be conducted
from analyzing data provided for projected traffic volumes and average trip lengths supplied in the above mentioned traffic technical report currently being prepared. Both a summary section and an
EIR section will be included.
0 The analysis of air quality will be in accordance with guidelines set
forth by the South Coast Air Quality Management District and the
California Air Resources Board.
0 Where and when appropriate, mitigation measures from an analysis
of the traffic report will be provided and appropriate monitoring measures will be included in the monitoring program.
C. Biology
0 On-site plant communities would be removed as a result of project development. On-site agricultural and natural plant communities would therefore be impacted. A technical report will be prepared and attached as an appendix to the PEIR. Also, a summary section
and an EIR section will be included.
23
0 The biological report will critically evaluate the resources within the project area to determine if impacts to the plant and animal life
could occur. The analysis will include a search of the Department
of Fish and Game’s Natural Diversity Data Base and aerial photo assessment.
0 Vegetation of the area will be mapped and a biological resources sensitivity map will be prepared. A field check will be undertaken
by BFMA staff biologist to assist in his evaluation. An impact
evaluation and mitigation program will be provided and measures to monitor the proposed mitigation will be included.
D. Circulation/Traffic (Willdan Associates)
0 Some traffic and circulation studies have been prepared for the area. These reports will be reviewed and evaluated in the PEIR. Both
direct and cumulative impacts on circulation, traffic, and parking will
be provided. The technical report will be attached as an appendices to the PEIR. Both a summary section and an EIR section will be prepared from the technical report.
0 Trip generation calculations for the proposed land uses in the project
site will be performed and distributed to surrounding street system in accordance with anticipated travel patterns.
0 Critical street segments and intersection capacities in the Zone 20 study area will be evaluated. These will be performed under existing and existing plus Zone 20 buildout. Street segment capacities will be evaluated under buildout of the City of Carlsbad.
0 The need for modification of existing traffic control devices or
additional traffic controls in the project vicinity resulting from development of the project as proposed will be evaluated.
0 A technical report which summarizes the conclusions reached will be
prepared. Where adverse traffic related impacts are identified, feasible mitigation measures will be provided.
E. Cultural Resources
0 The project area may include historic or prehistoric resources. A review of technical reports already prepared for certain areas within Zone 20 will be undertaken. A technical report will be prepared that identified those areas with potential for significant or sensitive archaeological resources. An assessment of potential impacts to cultural resources will be summarized and presented in the EIR.
24
0 A listing of potential impacts and mitigation measures will be provided in the Summary and EIR Sections of the report. Monitoring measures, if any, will be included in the mitigation
monitoring program.
F. Noise (Illingworth 8z Rodkin, Inc.)
0 A noise analysis will be conducted to evaluate on-site noise
associated with traffic noise levels associated with existing and proposed major roads. Aircraft noise from McClellan-Palomar Airport will also be evaluated.
0 Existing noise levels will be determined based on noise monitoring
or modeling of traffic along Palomar Airport Road and Poinsettia Lane. Aircraft noise will be determined using published data.
0 Future noise levels will be determined based on the noise
measurements and modeling of future traffic volume along the existing and proposed major roads. Aircraft noise will be determined
using published data.
0 Potential noise impacts will be identified based on the City of
Carlsbad’s noise guidelines.
0 Where and when appropriate, mitigation measures from an analysis of the noise report will be provided and monitoring measures will
be included. A technical report will be prepared and attached as an
appendix to the PEIR. A summary section and an EIR section will
also be provided.
G. Pesticide Residue (Soil)
0 A large portion of land within Zone 20 has undergone extensive
agricultural activity. An analysis of the potential for pesticide residue in the soils will need to be examined. Existing soils within Zone 20
Specific Plan area will be plotted using Soil Conservation Services maps.
0 Analysis will focus on determining the types of crops raised throughout the Zone and the length of times these crops have been grown. Historical uses of pesticides have changed over time and the
analysis will determine the types of pesticides likely to occur within
various parcels given the findings of crop types and length of farming.
25
0 The analysis of potential impacts will use the above information and compare it against State and County Health Department standards. Potential environmental impacts for certain parcels will be determined to the degree possible given the program level analysis.
0 Areas of risk will be identified and recommendations for future soils testing will be made wherever possible.
0 Where and when appropriate, mitigation measures from an analysis
of impacts will be provided and appropriate monitoring measures will
be included, if necessary.
H. Visual/Aesthetics
0 The visual character of the project site will be altered from implementation of the project. Changing an open space and agricultural landscape to a suburban landscape will be discussed and
evaluated relative to the possible phasing within Zone 20.
0 A summary and EIR section will be included in the EIR which assesses the above issues and any other visual concerns such as height and location of the proposed buildings and assess possible
shadow impacts that the project will create.
0 Mitigation measures will be identified and will be provided in the
summary and EIR sections, and monitoring measures will be
incorporated into the mitigation monitoring program.
6. Proiect Ahernatives. As required by CEQA, various project alternatives wii,“,; identified in the EIR and their potential impacts will be assessed.
alternatives will be addressed in detail outlining any environmental advantages or disadvantages they offer, including an assessment of the differing impacts and
measures necessary to mitigate those effects. Based on project impacts or
environmental constraints identified in the EIR, project alternatives will be developed which respond to these issues. The alternatives will include, at a
minimum, a No Project Alternative and an Existing General Plan Alternative.
A Revised Project Alternative indicating changes in the proposed residential,
commercial acreage could also be formulated through close consultation with city staff.
7. Mandatory Sections. CEQA requires several other mandatory sections be included in the Environmental Impact Report. These include Cumulative Impacts, Growth Inducement, Effects Found not to be Significant; the Relationship between Local Short-Term Uses of Man’s Environment and the Maintenance and Enhancement
of Long-Term Productivity, and Any Significant Irreversible Environmental
Changes Which Would Be Involved in the Proposed Action Should it be
26
r-
Implemented. These sections will be included in the Draft and Final EIR
prepared under this contract.
8. Certification. A statement will be provided in the EIR that BFMA certifies that
a full disclosure and independent analysis of all identified resources and impacts associated with the proposed project has been undertaken as required by the
California Environmental Quality Act.
9. References Cited. All references cited in the text will be provided at the end of the EIR in order to credit previous work and allow individuals the necessary citation if additional information is required.
10. Apoendices. It is anticipated that appendices will be included at the end of the
EIR, including those technical studies referenced above in Section IV, Project Scoping. A copy of the Notice of Preparation will also be included as appendices.
Once certified, the Final PEIR will also include all staff reports, minutes of
advisory and decision making body hearings, findings, statements, and resolutions as required by the City of Carlsbad’s Rules and Procedures for Implementing
CEQA.
Optional Issues
Three optional issues have been identified during the preparation of this proposal for a Program EIR for Zone 20 Specific Plan: land use, public services, and
paleontology. A brief discussion of these issues is provided below and a decision to
incorporate additional analysis on these issues in the PEIR can be made during the
scoping process, or prior to contract negotiation if so desired by City staff. No additional time or costs for these issues are reflected within this proposal.
1. Land Use and Land Use Compatibility
0 BFMA staff will review the surrounding area from both an existing
land use perspective and a planned land use perspective. This will
include a review of existing parcels, their present use, and the uses designated by the applicable plating policies such as the adopted
City General Plan and the Zoning Ordinance. The compatibility of
the proposed project with surrounding land use, especially adjacent
open space areas, and existing properties will be analyzed and described.
0 Features of the Specific Plan, both internal and external to the project, which may create land use conflicts, disruption to existing
land use activities, or significant adverse changes to existing
community character, will be evaluated. Potential land use conflicts could include perceived problems with land use intensification or from increased noise and traffic. Land use impacts from the various alternatives and their significance will be addressed.
27

3.
0 Compatibility of proposed land uses within the Zone 20 Specific Plan area will be assessed relative to the McClellan Palomar Airport influence area as depicted on the Comprehensive Land Use Plan for McClellan Palomar Airport in conformance with the City of
Carlsbad’s Policy No. 17.
0 Where and when appropriate, mitigation measures from both a
project and policy level will be identified and recommended and
monitoring procedures will be included in the mitigation monitoring
program.
Public Services
0 An increase in public services demand will occur as a result of
implementation of the proposed project, including fire protection, police protection, schools, parks, and roadway maintenance.
0 Existing and proposed public services will be evaluated and
estimations for public service demand for the proposed project area will be provided.
0 The analysis will quantify the Specific Plan’s public

San Dieauito River Master Plan: A conceptual land use plan was prepared for the City of San Diego, under the co-direction of Brian Mooney and Ron Pekarek, for the 44mile San Dieguito River. Responsibilities entailed preparing the data base report used in identifying land uses, providing input on the land use plan, and completing an EIR. Key issues included aesthetics, land
use, transportation, biology, archaeology, agriculture, and mineral resources. He participated in a task force process established to provide citizen input into the planning process.
Mt. Woodson Ranch: This Specific Plan includes a lOOunit hotel and a 190-unit residential
community on 380 acres in Ramona. An existing historic structure will be the site of a country
club and inn The country club will include a restaurant, swimming pool and teds courts. Other proposed amenities include an 18-hole golf course and equestrian center. The required applications include a General Plan Amendment, Specific Plan, Major Use Permit, Tentative Map, Rezone, site plans, and a Master Enviromnental Impact Report. This project incorporates all significant historical and biological resources into the project design. Mr. Mooney was project director, forming principal planning concepts and handliig all public presentations.
tee General Plan: This project included the preparation of a City-wide General Plan and Master Environmental Impact Report focusing on a re-orientation of the land use plan from a strictly
residential suburban and strip commercial community to a greater mixed use concept with a town center focal point. Mr. Mooney was directly responsible for the preparation of all General Plan Elements including the optional Community Design Element and acted as principal planner for the City’s interest through the approval process.
Santee Town Center Snecific Plan: Mr. Mooney produced a Specific Plan and EIR for Santee’s 702-acre downtown redevelopment area. The plan included commercial, civic, employment, residential, and recreational uses which would support an overall population of 11,000 people and 4,000,000 square feet of business related construction. A focal point of the project is the
reconstruction and enhancement of the San Diego River into a passive and active park system.
San Marcos General Plan: The City of San Marcos retained Brian F. Mooney Associates to prepare the Conservation, Open Space, Public Health and Safety, Noise, and Circulation Elements of that City’s General Plan. In addition, BFMA has assisted in preparing the Land Use Plans for
three of the City’s Community Planning Areas. The preparation of these Elements and the Land
Use Plans involved the directing of a highly energetic public participation process and the integration of expert advice from a City-appointed Technical Advisory Committee.
Maste Water Disttibution Pla: BFMA was retained by the San Diego County Water Authority to prep& a Program Envinmmental Impact Report for the Master Water Distribution Plan for San Diego County. This work included an active public participation program at the earliest stages of the master plan and extensive use of computer simulation to accurately communicate the impacts of ultimate construction as a result of plan implementation. The master plan included ultimate
construction of a nine-foot diameter pipeline from Lake Skinner in Riverside County to the Mexican
border. Also included were new pump stations and reservoirs to assure water availability to San
Diego County throughout 2010. . . 3’omlv hes City Park mci .
