I ITEM EXPLANATION On April 20, 1994, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing and approved without revision (7-O) the remodel and expansion of the North County Transit District (NCTD) bus transfer/pickup parking area at Plaza Camino Real. The existing NCTD bus transfer/pickup parking facility at Plaza Camino Real is located along the inbound travel lane of the shopping centerls entry driveway off of Marron Road immediately to the west of the Robinson May Company department store. This existing driveway currently accommodates automobile, truck and bus traffic. The NCTD buses enter this driveway, park parallel to the curb, load and unload passengers, and exit Plaza Camino Real via a signalized Marron Road driveway located across from the Plaza Camino Real Movie Theater to the east. This proposed project would convert this multi-use driveway/five space bus transit center to an exclusive use bus driveway with eight bus loading bays and a transit island. The NCTD is proposing this modification for purposes of: 1) responding to increased bus ridership demand; 2) reducing potential vehicular and pedestrian conflicts; and 3) creating a more attractive and functional bus transit center. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan and Precise Plan 24, complies with all applicable City parking and driveway design standards, and ensures the maintenance of adequate parking and safe circulation. On March 14, 1994 the City's Parking Authority heard this project and unanimously recommended approval. More detailed information is included in the attached staff report to the Planning Commission. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW On April 20, 1994, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the Negative Declaration issued by the Planning Director on December 9, 1993. e - PAGE 2 OF AGENDA BILL NO. /$.?30 I FISCAL IMPACT The North County Transit District will be responsible for all costs associated with the construction and maintenance of this proposed bus transfer/pickup parking facility at Plaza Camino Real.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS 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 or Negative Declaration. f 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 effect on the environment. On the checklist, “NO” will be checked to indicate this determination. ;‘.- An EIR must be prepared if the City determines that there is substantial evidence that any aspect of the project may cause a significant effect on the environment. The project may qualify for a Negative Declaration however, if adverse impacts are mitigated so that environmental effects can be deemed insignificant. These findings are shown in the checklist under the headings “YES-sig” and ‘YES-insig” respectively. 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. - - PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT .

Does the project have the potential to substantially degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wild- life species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or en- dangered plant or animal, or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory. 34. Does the project have the potential to achieve short-term, to the dis- advantage of long-term, environmental goals? (A short-term impact on the environment is one which occurs in a relatively brief, definitive period of time while long-term impacts will endure well into the future.) 35. Does the project have the possible environmental effects which are in- dividually limited but cumulatively considerable? (“Cumulatively con- siderable” means that the incremental effects of an individual project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current prqjects, and the effects of probable future projects.) 36. Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? NO x x x x -5- DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION This project is a Precise Plan Amendment to remodel and expand the existing North County Transit District (NCTD) bus transit facility at Plaza Camino Real. The existing transit facility is located along a shopping center entry driveway off of Marron Road which currently accommodates auto and truck traffic. The existing transit facility provides parking for a maximum of five buses at a time with its current design. The proposed revision would create adequate space for eight buses at a time while eliminating bus, pedestrian and automobile conflicts which currently exist because the buses must travel through the existing parking lot to exit onto Marron Road. The additional three bus parking spaces created through this proposal revision will be necessary for purposes of responding to anticipated bus ridership demand. For this environmental analysis, staff conducted several field trips to the project site. In that; (1) the parking lot currently exists, (2) there are no sensitive environmental resources located upon or in close proximity to it, (3) the improved bus service will reduce automobile traffic and pedestrian/vehicular traffic conflicts, no environmental impacts are anticipated. Phvsical Environment l-4. Because the project site is already developed with a parking lot, and no significant grading activities are proposed with this prqject, no geologic, topographic or soil erosion impact are anticipated. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. In that this project will create three more bus parking bays for the NCTD at Plaza Camino Real, the potential exists for automobile trip generation to the mall to be reduced and air quality to be improved consistent with the Regional Air Quality Strategies. This project, which may result in reduced automobile traffic generation, should not affect or have any substantial negative impacts upon air movement, odor, moisture or temperature. This project will not change the course or flow of waters as no streams are located in the immediate area and all drainage waters will be handled by existing drainage facilities. In that the site is already developed and existing drainage facilities exist, no impacts to surface water, groundwater or public water supplies are anticipated. Implementation of this project, (construction, paving, operation) will incrementally contribute to the depletion of fossil fuels. This incremental impact is not regarded as significant. See #9 above. This previously developed site does not have a significant potential of containing archaeological or paleontological objects which have not already been mitigated. The only vegetation that exists on site is parking lot landscaping. Since there is no vegetation (other than parking lot landscaping) on site, no impacts to native species are anticipated. -6- DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION (cont’d) . 14. Implementation of this project will not reduce the amount of acreage of any agricultural crop or affect farmland of state or local importance. 1.5. Since the site is already developed, no impacts upon species diversity or habitat will result from the development of the proposed project. 16. No impacts to developed. Human Environment 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. animal movement or migration will result from this project since the site is already The proposed project will result in a modification to an existing use already on the project site. Therefore, no land use impacts are anticipated. This project will create no increased demand for public utilities. This project will create no increased demand for sewer, solid or hazardous waste facilities. Construction and operation of this project will not create significant noise impacts upon surrounding commercial uses. Parking lot lighting proposed with this project will have a positive effect on surrounding commercial uses in that it will enhance the night visibility of the bus pick up/transfer area of Plaza Camino Real. The risks associated with explosions, oil or gas leaks from transit vehicles at this site are not regarded as significant. This project will increase mass transit opportunities to and from this site. However, no population impacts from modification of the parking facilities are expected. This project will have no impacts upon housing. This project may reduce automobile traffic since more mass transit opportunities to Plaza Camino Real will be created. Implementation of this project will delete a total of 21 on site vehicle parking spaces. However, this reduction has been more than compensated for by the 7.50 additional parking spaces created at Plaza Camino Real through the 1989 Plaza Camino Real parking lot restriping program. This project will incrementally effect present circulation patterns at Plaza Camino Real because an existing shopping center automobile/bus entry/exit off Marron Road will be restricted to bus use only. However, there are other adequate available accessways for vehicular traffic. In addition, this revision will decrease pedestrian/vehicular and increase vehicular/bus conflicts in that buses will no longer have to travel through the parking lot to exit onto Marron Road. Pedestrian/vehicular conflicts will likely also be reduced in that pedestrian traffic associated with bus ridership will be more fully controlled through the redesign of the bus waiting area. l -7- . DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION (cont’d) . 28. 29. 30. 31. This project will have no impacts upon water, rail or air traffic. Traffic conflicts (hazards) will be reduced as discussed above. This project will not interfere with emergency response plans. The project will not obstruct any scenic vista, and will create an improved appearance over the existing situation. 32. This project will have no effect upon recreational opportunities. -8- ANALYSIS OF VIABLE ALTERNATIVES TO THE PROPOSED PROJECT SUCH AS: . a> b) c> d) 4 f-l g) a) Phased development of the project, b) alternate site designs, c) alternate scale of development, d) alternate uses for the site, e) development at some future time rather than now, f) alternate sites for the proposed project, and g) no project alternative. This project will be constructed in a single phase. Modification of the NCTD bus transfer/pick up area in more than one phase is not practical. The NCTD, in coordination with CarterMark Properties and the City of Carlsbad, ,has considered alternative designs. The proposed design creates no significant environmental impacts while accomplishing the NCTD’s goal of providing three additional bus parking bays and a “buses only” access drive on site. An alternate scale of the project would not be an environmentally superior alternative since the project must be designed to comply with Citywide Engineering standards and there are no impacts associated with the proposed project. This project will modify the existing NCTD pick up/transfer area already existing on site. No alternate use of the site would be preferable. This project is being proposed at this time in response to an existing service demand. Development at some future time has no apparent environmental advantages since the site is currently developed with a similar use. Other sites within the Plaza Camino Real parking lot were reviewed. However, relative to the identified ridership demand and particular service needs, this site was determined to be most preferable. The no project alternative will not satisfy the existing demand for additional, updated transit service facilities at Plaza Camino Real. -9- . DETERMINATION (To Be Completed By The Planning Department) . x On the basis of this initial evaluation: I find the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, because the environmental effects of the proposed project have already been considered in conjunction with previously certified environmental documents and no additional environmental review is required. Therefore, a Notice of Determination has been 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 Conditional Negative Declaration will be proposed. I find the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on rhe environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.

The project site is located south of the shopping center along the north side of Matron Road, in Local Facilities Management Zone 1. RECOMMENDATION That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution No. 3640 recommending APPROVAL of the Negative Declaration issued by the Planning Director and ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution 3641 recommending APPROVAL of PP 24(F) based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein. Ix. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND The North County Transit District (NCTD), with the concurrence of Centennark Properties Inc. (the managing general partner of Plaza Camino Real) and all the anchor stores of Plaza Camino Real, is requesting approval of a Precise Plan Amendment to remodel and expand the existing bus transfer/parking area located at Plaza Camino Real. As shown on Exhibit “A”, the existing NCTD bus transfer/pickup parking facility at Plaza Camino Real is located along the shopping centeis entry driveway off of Marron Road immediately west of the Robinson-May Company department store. The existing driveway currently accommodates automobile and truck trafftc, as well as serving as a bus transit center for the NCTD. The inbound travel lane adjacent to the curb serves as a transfer/parking area for a maximum of five NCTD buses at a time. The buses enter this driveway, park parallel to the curb and load and unload passengers. To exit Plaza Camino Real the buses must travel westerly through the parking lot to a signalized driveway located across from the Plaza Camino Real Movie Theater to the south. . PP24(F)- PLAZACAhudOREALBUSTURNOUT APRIL20,1994 I PAGE2 As shown on Exhibits “A” - “H”, the proposed project would convert the above mentioned multi-use driveway/five space bus transit center to an exclusive use bus driveway with eight bus loading bays and transit island. All buses would use this driveway to enter and exit Plaza Camino Real. Five of the eight proposed bus bays will incorporate a sawtooth design. This design facilitates safer and easier bus parking and maneuvering. The conversion of the multi-use driveway to a "Bus Only” driveway will separate bus traffic maneuvers from all other shopping center vehicular traffic thereby reducing potential traffic conflicts and pavement maintenance costs. The proposed transit island will include concrete pavement with exposed aggregate finish, concrete seat walls, bus shelters, a newsrack, drinking fountains, waste containers and bus route bollards. It will be landscaped with Palm Trees, Coral Trees, and Bird of Paradise. A four foot tall galvanized iron fence will encircle the proposed driveway. This fence will function to funnel bus patron traffic into pedestrian crosswalks, while restricting access into the customer parking area. The North County Transit District is proposing this modification to the existing bus transfer/pickup parking area at Plaza Camino Real for purposes of : 1) responding to existing and anticipated bus ridership demand, 2) creating a more attractive and functional bus transit center, and 3) eliminating the need for buses to travel through the Plaza Camino Real Parking lot to exit the site. The City’s Parking Authority owns the Plaza Camino Real parking lot (including bus turnout). The parking lot is leased to the City. The City, the Parking Authority and Plaza Camino Real, a Limited Partnership, entered into an agreement whereby Plaza Camino Real operates and mantains the parking lot. Under the terms of a reciprocal easement agreement, any proposed modification to the parking lot requires the approval of all the anchor stores of Plaza Camino Real. This project (as application permit PP 24(E)) was previously heard before the Planning Commission and unanimously recommended for approval on February 20, 1991. However, because the North County Transit District did not at that time have the support of all the anchor stores of Plaza Camino Real, this project could not be heard by the City Council. Consistent with this requirement, CenterMark Properties Inc., a general partner of Plaza Camino Real, has submitted a letter to the City (See Exhibit “I”) indicating consensus support of all anchor stores for this project. On March 14, 1994, the Parking Authority of the City heard this project and unanimously recommended approval. ANALYSIS Planning Issues 1. Is the proposed modification to the Plaza Camino Real bus turnout consistent with the General Plan? - PP 24(F) - PLAZA CAMLI~O REAL BUS TURNOUT APRIL 20, 1994 PAGE 3 2. Is the proposed modification to the Plaza Camino Real bus turnout consistent with Precise Plan 24? 3. Is this project in compliance with all applicable City parking and driveway design standards? 4. Will this proposed modification ensure the maintenance of adequate onsite circulation and parking? DISCUSSION The Land Use Element of the General Plan includes the following applicable commercial guideline: . Each community should have easy access to a shopping center or centers. Consistent with this guideline, the proposed improvements to the Plaza Camino Real bus turnout will improve transit access to Plaza Camino Real for all neighborhoods serviced by the North County Transit District. Accordingly, this project is consistent with the General Plan. The proposed modification to the North County Transit District bus transfer/pickup parking area at Plaza Camino Real is consistent with Precise Plan 24. Precise Plan 24 functions as the site development plan for the Plaza Camino Real regional shopping center. The Precise Plan as formerly amended, includes five major department stores (Robinsons-May Co., Sears, Broadway, Bullock’s, and J. C. Penney), in excess of 130 other retail stores, movie theaters, restaurants, bank, office and automotive service center. A landscaped parking lot, which provides eight access driveways, approximately 6450 customer parking spaces, and the NCTD bus transit center, comprises the balance of this Precise Plan. In that the proposed project will improve the appearance and overall operation of the existing NCTD transit facility at Plaza Camino Real, staff concludes that the project is consistent with Precise Plan 24. The project also complies with all applicable City parking and driveway design standards. Implementation of the proposed project will also improve onsite circulation while having minimal effect on existing parking facilities. Specifically, even though the existing multi- use driveway would be converted to a “Bus Only” driveway, onsite traffic studies (Barton- As&man Associates, 1989) indicate that the other seven available Plaza Camino Real driveways are adequate to handle the existing and anticipated vehicular traffic. This proposed modification will likely reduce potential onsite traffic conflicts because buses will no longer have to travel through the parking lot to exit onto Marron Road and bus patron access into the customer parking lot will be more fully controlled. . PP 24(F)- PLAZACAMli.3 REALBUSTURNOUT APRIL 20, 1994 . PAGE4 This project will eliminate a total of 34 onsite vehicle parking spaces. However, this reduction has been more than compensated for by the 750 additional parking spaces created at Plaza Camino Real through the 1989 Plaza Camino Real parking lot restriping program. This parking lot restriping program was in fact coordinated with reference to this proposed NCTD transit center redesign. Even with this loss of 34 parking spaces, Plaza Camino Real parking ratios will be well within the Precise Plan’s 1 space/200 SF parking standard. Growth Management This project is located in Local Facilities Management Zone 1 in the northwest quadrant. Implementation of the proposed Precise Plan Amendment (PP 24(F)) will not increase the square footage of any residential or nonresidential uses. Accordingly, no facility impacts are anticipated. In summary, since the proposed project is consistent with the General Plan and Precise Plan 24, complies with all applicable City parking and driveway design standards, and ensures the maintenance of adequate onsite circulation and parking, staff recommends approval of PP 24(F). ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Planning Director has determined that this project will not have a significant effect on the environment and, therefore, has issued a Negative Declaration on December 9, 1993. The environmental analysis, along with the field checks by staff identified that because: (1) the parking lot currently exists, (2) there are no sensitive environmental resources located upon, or in close proximity to it, and (3) the improved bus service will reduce automobile traffic and potential traffic conflicts, no project environmental impacts are .anticipated. There were no public comments received in response to the notice for a Negative Declaration. ATTACHMENTS 1. Planning Commission Resolution No. 3640 2. Planning Commission Resolution No. 3641 3.

PP 24(F) - PLAZA CAMINO REAL BUS TURNOUT - Request for approval of a Negative Declaration and a Precise Plan Amendment to remodel and expand the existing North County Transit District bus transfer/pickup parking area at Plaza Camino Real. The project site is located south of the shopping center along the north side of Marron Road, in Local Facilities Management Zone 1. Chris DeCerbo, Senior Planner, reviewed the background of the request and stated that the applicant is requesting a precise plan amendment to remodel and expand the existing bus transfer parking area located at Plaza Camino Real. The existing North County Transit District (NCTD) parking facility is located along the shopping center’s entry drive off of Marron Road, immediately west of the Robinson-May Department Store. The existing driveway currently accommodates automobile/truck traffic as well as being a bus transfer center for NCTD. The inbound travel lane adjacent to the curb serves as a parking area for a maximum of five buses at a time, which park parallel to load and unload passengers. To exit Plaza Camino Real, they go through the parking lot in a eastward direction towards El Camino Real and come out across from the movie theatre. The proposed project would convert the existing multi-use bus driveway and five space bus transit center to an exclusive-use bus driveway which would have eight bus loading bays and a transit island. Buses would enter this driveway and exist this driveway. They wouldn’t have to go through the parking lot. The conversion of the multi-use driveway to a bus only driveway will separate bus traffic maneuvers from all other shopping center vehicular traffic, thereby reducing potential traffic conflicts and pavement maintenance costs of the parking lot. The proposed transit island will include concrete pavement with an aggregate finish, concrete seat walls, aluminum bus shelters, newsrack, drinking fountains, waste containers, and bus route bollards and a four ft. galvanized iron fence will encircle the proposed driveway. NCTD is proposing this modification in response to increased ridership demand and future projections. This project was previously heard before the Planning Commission in 1991. At that time NCTD did not have the support of all of the major anchor tenants of Plaza Camino Real, which is a requirement. They now have the full support of all major tenants. The request was heard by the Parking Authority of the City and they unanimously recommend approval. In that the project will improve the overall appearance and operation of the transit facility, staff concludes that it is consistent with the Precise Plan No. 24 and recommends approval. Commissioner Schlehuber inquired if people going to the May Co. will now have to go down to the Bullocks access to enter the parking lot. Mr. DeCerbo replied that vehicles will be able to access the parking lot across from the theatre. Commissioner Erwin inquired that since NCTD is the primary user, who will have primary liability. Mr. DeCerbo replied that the Parking Authority owns the parking lot, which is leased to the City. He is not sure. Commissioner Schlehuber commented that liability for the site design belongs to everybody. If a bus driver runs over someone, then NCTD is liable. Commissioner Hall inquired if there had been any study regarding a traffic signal. Bob Wojcik, Principal Civil Engineer, replied that this change will actually decrease the amount of traffic turning in at that location. Staff has had discussions with NCTD but they feel they have adequate site distance without a signal. Commissioner Hall stated that even though buses have a difficult time turning into a center median, NCTD still feels there is no problem. Mr. Wojcik replied yes. Commissioner Hall wants to make sure there is adequate signage stating the entrance is for buses only. Mr. Wojcik replied that staff has had discussions with NCTD regarding signage. PLANNING COMMISSION April 20, 1994 PAGE 13 Commissioner Hall inquired if a condition is needed. Mr. Wojcik replied no, that it will be handled through the permit process. Chairman Savary invited the applicant to speak. Tom Lichterman, NCTD Operations Manager, addressed the Commission and stated that he has been working on this project for eight years and he is happy to see it get to this point. He agrees with the staff report and stated that he would be happy to answer any questions. Commissioner Erwin inquired if NCTD would be paying for improvements. Mr. Lichterman replied yes. Commissioner Erwin inquired if the land is donated to NCTD so they are not charged a fee by the City or the Plaza Camino Real. Mr. Lichterman replied that is correct. Chairman Savary opened the public testimony and issued the invitation to speak. There being no persons desiring to address the Commission on this topic, Chairman Savary declared the public testimony closed and opened the item for discussion among the Commission members. ACTION: Motion was made by Commissioner Hall, and duly seconded, to adopt Planning Commission Resolution No. 3640 recommending approval of the Negative Declaration issued by the Planning Director and adopt Planning Commission Resolution No. 3641 recommending approval of PP 24(F), based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein.
