1, circulation of Master EIR 93-01. The impacts

require regional solutions and are beyond jurisdiction of the City to control. The City

which acknowledge the City's responsibility
willingness to participate in regional efforts

the benefits of having an updated General Plan
guide the future development of the City against th
remaining unavoidable environmental effects and fi
them acceptable. The City required an Updated Gene
Plan xhich reflects the current goals of the commun

of adopting the Updated General Plan outweigh .

present.
PUBLIC HEAAINGS: (Continued)
John Bridges, Consultant with Cotton/Beland/Associates, Inc., and Rob Greene, Senior F
Scientist, Woodward-Ctyde Consultants, explained the purpose of a Master EIR and con
that a master EIR does not preclude the opportunity for public input.
Council Member Nygaard stated she would like to have something written in the Plan stal
Amendments would also be reviewed for compliance with the Vision Statement contained
Plan.
Mayor Lewis opened the duly noticed Public Hearing at 8:20 p.m., and issued the invita
speak.
Dolores Welty, 2076 Sheridan Road, Leucadia, representing Project Future, read a letter, i
of which is on file in the City Clerk's Office, expressing concerns about the proposed upc
Mark Chomyn, San Oiego Gas 8 Electric, 101 Ash Street, San Diego, expressed concer
Policy Item C. 11, which suggested the elimination of 'powerline' easements from considc
as meeting the 15 percent Growth Management open space performance standard. He felt
C.ll should be re-written or dropped, so powerline easements could be considered to mc
15 percent Growth Management Plan.
Mr. Chomyn also stated that SDG&E has had correspondence with the State Lands Comrr
in which they say that the Agua Hedionda Lagoon is located under the Agua Hedionda
Grant and is precluded from public holding by the State. Therefore, he requested that sta
at the issue and make the appropriate modification to the EIR.
In response, the CW Attorney stated that the City, in the EIR, is not adjudicating ownershig
Lagoon and the issue is a private matter between SOGdE and the State,
Pat Knox, 2002 Pintoresco Court, stated she had concerns about noise, traffic and air (
She stated that. she thougM the Growth Management Plan was supposed to precluc
occurring of any 'hot spots' as mentioned in the General Plan, and wanted to know how cc
those areas would be, including the intersections that will fail the Growth Manag
requirements. Ms. Knox stated that the traffic circulation and noise issues need to be addi
more fully.
Bob Ladwig, Ladwig Design Group, Inc., 1947 Camino Vida Roble, Suite 108, read his letter
August 9, 1994, a copy of which is on file in the City Clerk's office. He asked for langu

PUBLIC HEARINGS: (Continued)
Ofelia Escobedo, 161 1 James Drive, President, Barrio Carlsbad Association, stated they support
the General Plan update, and requested staff to complete the Barrio Plan to be presented for final
adoption and incorporation into the General Plan.
Mike Howes, Hofman Planning Associates, 2386 Faraday, stated that it is difficutt to reduce the
noise level to 60 CNEL in developments by prime arterials, freeways and the railroad. He
requested that the staff be given the flexibility to allow developers to exceed the 60 CNEL, if a
project cannot meet the standard without undue hardships.
Leslie Sipple, 1:287 Vera CNZ, Oceanside, stated that she hoped staff would consider the people
impacted by th43 changes in the General Plan. She stated that she is an Owner of 246 acres that
is under the Mello-Roos, and there is no consideration given to property owners who might not
be able to pay the taxes. Ms. Sipple asked for something to be done to give relief from the
tremendous tax bill they owe.
Smce no one else wished to speak on this matter, Mayor Lewis closed the Public Hearing at 8:47
p.m.
Clarifications arid Responses to Questions
Mike Holzmiller stated that powerline easements have never been counted toward the 15 percent
open space requirement. The 15 percent open space is in addition to things already constrained,
and this was addressed by the Open Space Citizens Committee. If all requirements have already
been me?, and if this is an enhancement, such as a trail system or a buffer, then it can be
counted. In repVy to query, Mr. Holzmiller stated that railroad rights-of-way are the same as future
roadways--and not open space.
Council Member Finnila stated if the Crty continues to grow, it will be necessary to look at a
comprehensive noise ordinance where enforcement can be phased in gradually.
With respect to the intersection ‘hot spots’, Mike Holzmiller stated that the EIR looks at a worst
case srtuation. ‘The City’s ordinance says we can’t have a failure at an intersection, and that will
still be the situation.
Assistant Crty Engineer David Hauser, in response to query, stated that through the master
planning process for Canillo Ranch, design standards for Melrose were reduced to those of a
major arterial rather than a prime. However, it was still designated as a prime arterial and the
width and improvements met the requirements of the prime designation.
Mike Hokmiller stated that an annual report will be brought to the City Council which will provide
an opportunity for the public to say what needs to be looked at with regard to the implementation
of the General Plan. When land is changed to the Limited Control Zone, it is removed from the
Mello-Roos and the tax burden stops at that time.
Tem Woods, Planning Department, stated that the General Plan provides flexibility with regard to
the 60 CNEL noise level, in that there are three findings required which would allow a project to
exceed that level.

MINUTI
PLANNING COMMISSION April 20, 1994 PAGE 2
Adrienne Landers, Senior Planner, reviewed the events of the General Plan public hearing from the two
previous meetings, for the benefit of the Commissioners. She then explained the housekeeping changc
contained in Errata #5. This errata includes changes requested by the Commission at the previous two
meetings as well as an addendum that needs to be made to the EIR. The reason for the addendum is
because the circulation study outlined 20 impacted intersections which could not be mitigated; however
study failed to mention that some of those impacted intersections were not located within the City limits.
Staff has corrected the number of impacted intersections from 20 to 12 full intersections and 2 partial
intersections.
Ms. Landers stated that the addendum also includes comments from the City of Encinitas which state th
there may be additional impacted intersections south of La Costa Avenue and El Camino Real if project2
proposed within the City of Encinitas are constructed. These intersections would be impacted by region
through traffic and are beyond Carlsbad's jurisdiction to control. However, the General Plan does conta
statements which require the City to work with nearby cities in addressing land uses where there is
potential incompatibility. Staff is doing as much as possible to address those issues but there still may t
impacts which are beyond the City's jurisdiction. The inclusion of this comment from the City of Enciniti
does not change either the impacts or the conclusions of the EIR. There are still significant but
unmitigable impacts with regard to circulation.
Commissioner Welshons referred to the map which shows the intersections of Melrose and Rancho San Fe and inquired if the projected intersections are based on developments which have been approved in
other jurisdictions but not yet constructed. Ms. Landers replied that the information used by staff was
based on the 1990 traffic model provided by SANDAG. That model was based on information provided
SANDAG by adjacent cities.
Ms. Landers stated that only one comment was received regarding the Housing Element. Margie Monro
representing the League of Women Voters, requested that the technical information for the Housing
Element be updated to include the census data from the 1990 census. Although this information may bf
available on a local level, it cannot be used until SANDAG has compiled the data on a regional level, wh
may take two more years.
Commissioner Welshons inquired if the Housing Element could be invalidated if we don't use the same
data throughout the document. Ms. Landers replied that the 1990 census data was used as a baseline fc
noise and circulation, however it was not available when the Housing Element was prepared.
Mr. Wayne added that the Housing Element is governed by an entirely different section of State law, whic
specifies what data must be used. Carlsbad cannot replace the 1980 census data in the Housing Elemer
with 1990 census data until SANDAG completes their regional needs study.
Commissioner Welshons inquired when the SANDAG study will be available. Mr. Wayne replied that
Carlsbad was due to update its Housing Element in 1996. However, due to budget constraints, that has
been pushed back two years. He anticipates that it will probably be in 1998.
Ms. Landers stated that the Housing Element was adopted and has already been certified by HCD.
Commissioner Hall referred to page 60 of the Housing Element regarding CEQA Program 4.1 and asked
staff to explain the housing impact fees. Mr. Wayne replied that this section means that when you provid
for all levels of income within the City boundaries based upon jobs/housing, that the employees don't havc
to travel as far to work in the City, and that contributes to an overall reduction of air pollutants.
Commissioner Hall thought it had been decided to strike that. Ms. Landers replied that the Commission
had discussed deleting it as a mitigation measure under air quality; however, there was no decision mad
Staff had mentioned that the Commission may want to include a recommendation to the City Council to
not approve that particular study when it is completed.

Commissioner Hall stated that there is a lot of documentation in the General Plan which relates to that
study. He does not like to vote on something if he hasn't seen the facts to substantiate it. Ms. Landers
replied that the Comrnission would only be voting on having a study done; the City Council has alread
approved the Housing Element and the need for a study to evaluate that particular fee.
commissioner Hall referred to page 72 regarding job/housing impact fees and inquired if the study will
call for some type of impact fees. Ms. Landers replied that the study would evaluate the possibility of dc
that.
Commissioner Erwin inquired if this section means that a nexus study is needed and that those
corporations bringing in higher paying jobs would not be required to pay the fee. Mr. Wayne replied th
would probably be done by categories, i.e. retail, research and development, manufacturing. Michael
Holzmiller, Planning Director, added that the nexus study only shows that businesses located in the Ci
have employees that need lower income housing. That nexus study will be used by the City Council tc
decide whether or not the City wants to charge a fee.
Commissioner Erwin inquired if this means that the impact of the particular company will dictate the
amount that they will have to pay. Mr. Holzmiller replied yes.
Commissioner Schlehuber commented that whenever you establish a nexus and fee situation, it has tc
legally upheld. He is, sure that the City attorney will give it close scrutiny.
Commissioner Hall rleferred to page 99, Objective 2.2, Development Standards, and requested staff to
address modified codes and standards. Mr. Holzmiller replied that this is the ordinance which has air€
been adopted. It allows, by site development plan, consideration for modifying development standard5

Commissioner Erwiri referred to page 108, Objective 3.1 1, where it discusses reducing the size of hou
by reducing costs arid increasing affordability. In the policy paragraph, where it discusses reducing tt
size, he inquired if we will maintain our minimum setbacks, (20 ft. front, 5 ft. side, and 10 ft. back) or \
setbacks also be reduced. Mr. Holzmiller replied that there are no plans to reduce the setbacks. This
program has already been implemented by the PUD ordinance which is currently in effect. When the
Housing Element wits written, it included all of the things that were currently being done.
Commissioner Erwin stated that he is also concerned about Objective 4.1. He states that this indicate
will do a study and then take action. Mr. Holzmiller replied that the nexus study has already been pre
by staff, although it hasn't gone to City Council yet. That nexus study fulfills all the programs and
objectives in the Housing Element. Staff considers this study to be complete. The City Council may /
decide to file the information.
Commissioner Erwin inquired if it will be up to the City Council whether or not to charge a fee and wt
be required to pay the fee. Mr. Holzmiller replied that this is correct. As far as staff is concerned, the

Commissioner Welshons stated that some of the Commissioners may have no qualms about a study bi
they may have a problem with the whole idea of a fee. She thinks using the word "may" might diffuse t
problem.
Commissioner Schlehuber doesn't know how the Commission can vote on this when they have no
information on the study. Until all the facts are on the table, it would be impossible to decide the feasibi
of such a fee, and that in itself would require a full public hearing.

Commissioner Schlehuber stated that he could not accept any reference to minimum densities in the

Welshons stated: "Where adverse impacts are identified, mitigation measures will be considered to redl

Commissioner Hall requested that the record show he voted no because of the wording in 4.0 and 4.
Ms. Landers advis6d the Commission that when the General Plan goes forward to the City Council, i
be in the form of a clean copy, including all of the changes made by the Commission. The agenda b
include a discussion of the issues that are important to the Planning Commission. All comments anc
opinions will be included.
Terri Woods, Associate Planner, reviewed the comments made regarding the Open Space and
Conservation Element.
* Density Transfers. Ms. Besecker recommended density transfers in conjunction with providing op
space. Staff believes it is premature to include this wording in the Open Space Element because
just one of the methods under consideration at this time as part of City habitat management planr
efforts. This topic is covered in the preliminary draft of the Habitat Management Plan and staff fec
is the correct place for density transfers to be addressed.
a Protection Measures. Dolores Welty, on behalf of Project Future, discussed a lack of specific pro1
measures for sensitive resources. She also expressed concern about the amount of time the City
take in developing future programs for open space. Ms. Welty cited several policies which she be
might take a long time to develop. One policy is to develop an inventory of habitat in the City. St
already completed this program through the HMP efforts. The open space mapping has been cor
through the Open Space & Conservation Resource Management Plan. Constrained lands have b
mapped to a level of 400 scale, which is much more highly defined than that of most cities. Ms. V
suggested that the City consider a much larger percentage of land to be set aside as open space
claims that we only set aside 15%. In actuality, the City requires 15% of the developable land. FI
all constrained lands must be set aside. Together, this far exceeds 15%. Staff is currently workir
multi-species habitat plan which, if the HMP is ever approved, would result in far more open spa(
the City. Staff does not recommend changing the 15% growth management requirement for ope
at this time.
e Financing. Ms. Welty made several comments regarding financing of open space. The Open SF
Conservation Resource Management Plan does include several means to finance open space, in
a possible general obligation bond and an assessment district to pay for maintenance and liabilit]
trail system. Staff is also looking at numerous financing mechanisms for a habitat management
including a mitigation fee and general obligation bond.

staff has no problem leaving the designation as hatched, with the understanding that a General I
Amendment will be required at the time a specific plan comes forward.

in Sunny Creek. Staff has written him a memo stating that we agree with a minor adjustment of
open space boundary on his property. This change is reflected on the new draft Land Use Map.

commissioner Hall stated that his only concern is next week or next month there may be a whole new SI
of players. He wants the General Plan to mention that the trails are proposed rather than have to refer
back to Minutes.
After several suggestions were discussed, Commissioners and staff agreed that a sentence be added to
C.l as follows: "Until such financing mechanism is in place, the trail system shall be considered
proposed."
Commissioner Welshons called for an informal poll on all those in favor of accepting the Open Space &
Conservation Element, with the added sentence in C.l regarding the trail system as proposed, and a
change to the Sherman property to the split general plan designation of TS/O/OS. The vote was 6-0 in
favor.
Adrienne Landers, Senior Planner, stated that there had been no public comments with regard to the
Public Safety Element.
Commissioner Welshons called for an informal poll on all those in favor of accepting the Public Safety
Element and any errata corrections related to it. The vote was 6-0 in favor.
Adrienne Landers, Senior Planner, stated that there had been no public comments with regard to the Ad
Element.
Commissioner Welshons called for an informal poll on all those in favor of accepting the Arts Element an
any errata corrections related to it. The vote was 6-0 in favor.
Adrienne Landers, Senior Planner, stated that the next item would be a final vote on the Master EIR and
addendum.
Commissioner Hall inquired if he needed to restate his objections for the record. Michael Holzmiller,
Planning Director, replied that no errata sheets will be forwarded to the City Council. All changes will be
made and a clean copy of the General Plan will be sent forward. As for the EIR, staff will place the
addendum in the front of the EIR. The addendum to the EIR will contain all of the corrections which havc
been made. The agenda bill which goes to the City Council will explain the process which was followed c
the General Plan Update and it will include a detailed staff report of each informal poll which was taken
and any comments or objections by Commissioners on specific items. A copy of the Minutes will also be
included in the Council package.
Commissioner Hall wants to make sure that the City Council members are made aware of why each
Commissioner voted the way they did. Mr. Holzmiller replied that he could also cross reference the
Minutes to each specific item.
Commissioner Erwin commented that in the past, impacted intersections were identified as were proposec
developments in surrounding communities which could have an effect on the City of Carlsbad. Mr.
Holzmiller replied that the overall findings being made on the EIR do not override growth management.

1. ZCA 92-4 - SECOND DWELLING UNITS ZONE CODE AMENDMENT - Request for approval o
Negative Declaration and an amendment to various chapters and sections of the Carlsbad Munic
Code (Title 21) to: (1) add a definition for Second Dwelling Unit, (2) allow the development of
Second Dwelling Units through administrative permit in the R-A, R-E, R-if R-2, and R-3 zone
and areas designated by a master plan for single-family detached dwellings in the P-C zones of
City, and (3) amend the requirements for the creation of Second Dwelling Units in the R-A, R-E,
R-1 , R-2, and R-3 zones and areas designated by a master plan for single-family detached
dwellings in the P-C zones of the City.
Chris DeCerbo, Senior Planner, reviewed the background of the request and stated that on March 2, 19
this Zone Code Amendment pertaining to second units was heard by the Planning Commission and the
voted for a continuance to enable staff to research and respond to concerns regarding inclusionary
housing requirements for second dwelling units, second dwelling units on smaller single-family residen lots of less than 7,500 sf., tandem parking for second dwelling units, and the impact of second dwelling
units on the excess dwelling unit bank. In response to these concerns, staff is recommending the folloM
ordinance revisions:
. lnclusionary Housing Requirement - Staff recommends the deletion of the requirement for second
dwelling unit owners to either pay the inclusionary housing in-lieu fee or deed restrict the second unii
affordable to lower income households. Instead, staff recommends that the ordinance be amended tc
stipulate that the maximum monthly rental rate for a second dwelling unit shall be affordable to lower
income households. This provision would not be placed as a deed restriction on second units, nor wc
it be monitored and enforced by the City, except on a complaint basis. It would, however, require tha
the owner provide the City with prospective rental rate information for the second unit, upon applicatic
for a building permit. The proposed rental rate would then be reported to the State Department of
Housing & Community Development during our yearly report to the State. Provided that the rental rai
is affordable, it would be counted towards satisfying the City‘s regional share housing needs. He note
that staff has been advised by HCD that they will count second dwelling units in their calculation as 101
as the rental price meets the affordable criteria.
- Second Dwelling Units on Smaller Single-Family Lots - Staff recommends the addition of new
development standards to the planned development chapter of the municipal code which would reguli
the placement of second units on single-family lots less than 7,500 s.f. as follows: (1) all second
dwelling units shall be set back the same distance from the front and side property lines as the priman,
unit on the lot; (2) the second dwelling unit shall be set back a minimum of 10 ft. from the rear properi
line; (3) second dwelling units shall not be permitted to encroach into the recreation area of the primar
residence and (4) for detached second dwelling units, the distance between the

He also showed a photo of the only granny flat now existing in the City.

recommends that the parking requirement be changed to allow tandem parking fo satisfy the park
requirement. He showed several photos of tandem parking now existing throughout the City.
Excess Unit Bank - There are currently 2,000 units in the City's Excess Unit Bank. These excess
exist as a consequence of residential projects being approved at lower densities than permitted. E
on this historical trend, staff believes that the units in the Bank are sufficient to meet our affordabl
housing objectives without exceeding the dwelling unit limitations of the Growth Management Plai
Commissioner Welshons inquired what kind of agreement the homeowner would have to sign sayinc
the second dwelling unit is affordable. Mr. DeCerbo replied that no agreement would be signed. Th
homeowner would only need to provide the City with the prospective rental rate upon application for
building permit.
Commissioner WeYshons inquired what would happen when a complaint is received. Mr. DeCerbo r
that the City would then have the option of enforcing the rental rate.
Commissioner Wellshons inquired if that means that today we won't enforce it but tomorrow we migt
Gary Wayne, Assistant Planning Director, stated that the City couldn't selectively enforce the rental
Zone code enforcement is on a complaint basis. Our ordinance stipulates that the rent for a second
dwelling unit must be affordable. If the homeowner rents the unit for more than the affordable rate,
would be considered a zone code violation, which is enforceable. However, enforcement is on a cor
basis.
Commissioner Schlehuber stated that he thinks this will be good because the units are small, and th
affordable rental rate is relatively high. He doesn't think a homeowner would realistically be able to I
higher rent than the affordable rate because of the size of the unit. For instance, the average rental
a one bedroom apartment is $556 per mo. However, the affordable rental allowance for two person
occupancy is $673 per mo. Commissioner Schlehuber feels the ordinance is well written and doesn
there is anything to be lost. He thinks it is a win-win situation.
Commissioner Hall commented that the average second dwelling unit will house a child, mother, or
so, in all probability, there may be no rent paid at all. He also thinks it will be a win-win situation.
Commissioner Welshons doesn't understand the requirement to rent to only low income. Mr. DeCei
replied that this is necessary to ensure that second dwelling units qualify as affordable housing.
Commissioner Welshons inquired if the reference to low income also includes very low income. Mr.
DeCerbo replied that the mandate is only for 80% of the median income.
Commissioner Betz stated that if a second unit is built on a new lot, she would rather see an extra p
place provided for in the plans--perhaps a three car garage; she is not in favor of tandem parking I
instance. Furthermore, she noted that second dwelling units can only be single story. She inquired
the possibility of having a parking garage located under a living unit. Mr. DeCerbo replied that it is i
to have a detached garage with a living unit above it.
Commissioner Betz would like to see more flexibility if the lot is large enough. Gary Wayne, Assista
Planning Director, replied that unique situations could be handled with a variance.

PLANNING COMMISSION April 6, 1994 PAGE 4
Commissioner Betz stated that variances are very exclusive and hard to get. If a lot is large enough, sh
feels the ordinance should allow some flexibility.
Commissioner Hall stated that the other complaint might be having a neighbor peer out a back window
you while you are in your back yard around the pool. In order to protect the privacy of neighbors, he
doesn't think added height should be allowed.
Commissioner Schlehuber thinks that a second dwelling unit with two floors and parking below would lo
like a Spite House. He is still convinced that tandem parking is a good idea.
Commissioner Welshons inquired how services and facilities would be calculated and addressed for the
second dwelling units which are created after the local facilities management plans (LFMPs) are in placc
Mr. DeCerbo replied that the LFMPs are broken up into critical and non-critical facilities. For instance,
sewer, water, and roads would be critical facilities associated with the preservation of health, safety, and
welfare. Those have all been planned with excess capacity above the Proposition E caps. Second
dwelling units would not exceed those caps.
Commissioner Welshons inquired if fees are collected for second dwelling units. Mr. DeCerbo replied yt
public facilities fees would have to be paid for each second unit when the permit is pulled. Those fees
would go into the capital improvement project (CIP) budget for freeway interchanges, roads, libraries, Ci
administration, parks, etc.
Commissioner Schlehuber inquired if staff had any comments on the letters received from Fieldstone
(dated April 6, 1994) and the Ladwig Design Group (dated March 31, 1994). Mr. DeCerbo replied that tt
Ladwig letter requested second dwelling units in the R-P, R-T, R-W, and RD-M zones. Staff can supp
that on lots which have single-family residences. As far as the request for gravel paving is concerned,
staff explained to Mr. Ladwig that this requirement applies only to the rural estate zone with minimum on
acre lots and 70 ft. front yard setbacks. Staff feels that concrete and asphalt paving are needed to preve
erosion. Mr. Ladwig understands the reasoning and concurs with staff.
Mr. DeCerbo stated that the Fieldstone letter requests that second dwelling units of less than 500 s.f. not
counted as a unit under growth management. Staff does not have the authority to exclude these units
from counting as dwelling units under growth management since they would be equipped with bath and
kitchen f aci 1 it ies .
Chairman Savary stated that the public hearing had been closed at the previous meeting but she reopenc
it for new comments only.
Sharon South, Director of Business Services for the Encinitas Union School District, 101 So. Rancho
Santa Fe Road, Encinitas, addressed the Commission and stated that she is concerned about possible
impacts to the district since the requirement for senior citizen occupancy was replaced with no age
restriction. She feels that many of the units on larger lots could house parents with small children.
Brooks Worthing, 1136 Larkspur Lane, Carlsbad, addressed the Commission and stated that he is a sma
builder. He has had three requests over the years about the granny flat concept but the fees which were
required stopped the projects cold. He likes the idea of this concept being loosened up because it is a
good solution to the affordable housing shortage. He thinks it will be self-policing and that the units won'
be rented anywhere near the maximum unless it is on a view site in La Costa.
Robert Ladwig, 1947 Camino Vida Roble, Suite 108, Carlsbad, addressed the Commission and urged the
Commission to support the revised ordinance. He thinks staff did an excellent job in researching what
other cities have done regarding second dwelling units. He would be happy to answer questions, if any.

Doug Avis, Fieldstone-La Costa, 6670 El Camino Real, Carlsbad, addressed the Commission and s
that he was a member of the affordable housing task force. Early on, he advocated the use of secor
dwelling units to help fulfill the affordable housing quota. He likes the ordinance and thinks there ar
places where this can be used. However, he would like to see a threshold below which the second d
units would not count as dwelling units. Mr. Avis thinks there are many second dwelling units alreac
there which need to be qualified so they can count towards affordable housing. He welcomed quest
Commissioner Hall stated that there has been some discussion regarding an additional garage on n
construction. Mr. Avis did not hear the earlier comments regarding the additional garage. However
thinks the market would respond well to a second dwelling unit in the rear yard for some product tyy
new project. Unfoirtunately, under the existing code, that unit in the rear yard would count as anothc
unit. In his mind, lit should be counted towards the affordable housing quota.
Commissioner Erwin inquired if a third garage could be dedicated to the second dwelling unit. Mr. 1
replied that he feels tandem parking, if any, should be allocated to the primary house. The third gar
could be framed in and allocated to the granny flat. However, the reality of it is that people will still i
the street, no matter what. People have a tendency to put their bicycles, barbecues, and storage in
garage, and park the cars outside.
Commissioner Welshons inquired if a tandem garage is one that houses two cars, side by side, with
cars behind them. Mr. Avis replied that is correct. Many homes down by the lagoon have this
arrangement because the lots are thinner and longer. Unfortunately, the market will not respond to
tandem garages so they probably wouldn't get built. That is why you see three car garages in some
developments.
There being no other persons desiring to address the Commission on this topic, Chairman Savary c
the public testimony closed and opened the item for discussion among the Commission members.
Commissioner Erwin cannot accept tandem parking but he thinks second dwelling units will work 01
which are large enough.
Commissioner Schlehuber stated that he likes the improvements to the ordinance which staff has
presented tonight. The tandem parking doesn't bother him. He thinks it is a really good ordinance.
Commissioner BeRz can support it as long as new construction does include a third garage designai
particularly for the second dwelling unit. Mr. DeCerbo replied that this provision could be added for
developments if the Commission desires.
Commissioner Hall stated that he is neutral. He thinks the ordinance is necessary in order to proce
Gary Wayne, Assistant Planning Director, requested a clarification regarding new construction.
Commissioner Betz replied that she is talking about a new house being built from the ground up, wI
be a single or a development.
Commissioner Wels.hons requested staff to comment on Mr. Avis' comment regarding second dwell
units being counted as separate units. Mr. DeCerbo replied that a second dwelling unit with kitcher
facilities and a separate entrance would be counted as an individual unit under growth managemer
has no authority to interpret otherwise.
Commissioner Walshons inquired about Mr. Ladwig's request for gravel paving. Mr. DeCerbo replic
this was only for very large lots with 70 ft. front yard setbacks. Staff cannot support that request.

Commissioner Welshons inquired if dedicating a third garage specifically to the second dwelling unit wil
diminish the tool to get these affordable units built. Mr. DeCerbo replied that it would be another hurdle
and could possibly have that effect.
Gary Wayne, Assistant Planning Director, stated that if a PUD came in for approval, the Planning
Commission would have an opportunity to see it. But if someone came in with a standard R-1-7500
subdivision, all the Commission would see is lots. When they come in with the houses, they come for
building permits and it doesn't come back to the Commission. He knows that it is a whole lot cheaper to
build the second dwelling unit at the same time the primary unit is being built. If dedicating the third
garage to the second unit is required, he is reasonably sure they will find a way to do it.
Commissioner Schlehuber feels that putting a three car garage up front on a 7,500 s.f. lot, it will look like
all garage and the house gets pushed aside. He thinks it will affect the design of the project and he is nc
in favor of it but he will be neutral if that is what it will take to get it approved.
Commissioner Welshons would like to know if this requirement will tie the hands of developers.
Commissioner Noble supports the ordinance as it was presented. He feels that tandem parking works. t
has seen it work in Terramar. The object of the ordinance is to get more affordable housing. He doesn't
think it will have any impact on schools because schools will base their decisions on growth managemen
He doesn't think very many of these units will be built and even if they are, he doesn't feel we will reach tl
maximum growth established in the Growth Management Plan.
Chairman Savary asked if staff wished to comment further.
Gary Wayne, Assistant Planning Director, stated that the Deputy City Attorney has suggested that on
page 5 of the ordinance, item (P), line 6, we should replace "the household" with "a low income
household". He feels it would be more clear.
ACTION: Motion was made by Commissioner Schlehuber, and duly seconded, to adopt Planninc

stated that after the public testimony, she or another member of the staff would present information on

the elements have been considered, a final vote would be taken.
Commissioner Hall inquired when the commercial aspect of property and the minimum dwelling units i
zone would be discussed. Ms. Landers replied that they would both be discussed under Land Use.
Chairman Savary stated that the public hearing had been closed at the previous meeting but she reopc
it for new comments only.
Mark Chomyn, representing San Diego Gas & Electric, 101 Ash Street, San Diego, addressed the
Commission and stated that in the Land Use Element and the Parks & Recreation Element it discussa
accessory uses in powerline easements and access to wetlands along the south shore of the Agua
Hedionda Lagoon. SDG&E would appreciate the opportunity to review accessory uses and any matte1
public access becau!je of the topographical constraints along the south shore. Further, he stated that
SDG&E is very open to expanding recreational facilities on the Agua Hedionda Lagoon but noted that
lagoon was dredged and flushed as an adjunct to cooling waters for the power plant. Any consideratic
uses in the lagoon must be considered along with the uninterrupted supply of cooling water to the po~
plant and SDG&E's continued ability to maintain dredging, etc. Mr. Chomyn also noted that in the Op
Space & Conservation Element it identifies several portions of SDG&E's existing transmission easeme
which might become components of the trail system. Where components of the trail system are
implemented within the easements, SDG&E would appreciate the opportunity to consult with staff and
private developers to ensure that access for maintenance is not compromised. He was happy to see E
discussed and stated that SDG&E would be happy to provide information on this subject if there is intc
Lastly, Mr. Chomyn's major concern is on page 18 of the Land Use Element where it discusses Precis
Development Plans (PDPs). It is not clear if this refers to wastewater treatment facilities or if it also ap
to electrical energy treatment of wastewater, maintenance and storage of operating facilities, and othc
functions. He woulcl like a clarification since substations are currently serviced under a CUP. He thir
the PDP process might be too involved for those types of uses.
Commissioner Schlehuber advised Mr. Chomyn that the City cannot arbitrarily put a trail within an
easement without talking to SDG&E. Mr. Chomyn stated that he was only reaffirming their concerns
regarding implementation of some of the elements in the General Plan and they are willing to work WI
staff to make them happen. However, there may be times when SDG&E may not be able to accompli
100% of the goals and objectives of the specific plan. He would like to know if the PDP is being appli
all uses or just to uses defined as treatment of wastewater.
Paul Yrisarri, 181 7 IHanscomb Drive, South Pasadena, addressed the Commission and stated that hc
spoke at the last meeting but now wished to comment on the sunset provisions proposed for the
commercial zones. He feels that the sunset provision will result in an undersupply of commercially z(
land. If there is an iundersupply of commercial land, developers will go elsewhere and Carlsbad resid
will be sending their sales tax dollars to other cities. He also commented on the open space maps an

Santa Fe Road, Encinitas, addressed the Commission and reviewed the text of her letter dated April

plan continues in force. However, the school district is still concerned about the open space designa
which they feel discounts the value of school sites. Mr. Holzmiller has advised them that existing ant

only had one copy. She let Commissioner Erwin read it and stated she would send staff a copy of it a1

Mark Chomyn, SDG&E, returned to the podium and stated that he had neglected to mention a possiblc
error on page 23 of the Parks & Recreation Element, Table 5, where it states that Agua Hedionda Lagc
is owned by the State. He thinks that should be changed to SDG&E.
Commissioner Noble advised Mr. Chomyn that this had come up once before when he served on the
Beach Erosion Committee. He stated that the Parks & Recreation staff has determined that the lagoon
owned by the State because it is considered to be navigable waters. Mr. Chomyn stated that he will als
look into it further.
John Freidlander, 2245 Nob Hill Drive, Carlsbad, addressed the Commission and stated that he is
concerned about the landing pattern for aircraft at Palomar Airport. He spoke at the March 16, 1994
meeting but wanted to mention tonight that, since the last meeting, another airline is currently in the
process of being approved for landing. This will essentially double the number of commercial flights pel
day into Palomar Airport. In effect, this doubles the impacts to all residential property within the flight
pattern.
Commissioner Hall inquired if this is commercial flights or total flights. Mr. Freidlander replied that he is
speaking of commercial flights.
There being no other persons desiring to address the Commission on this topic, Chairman Savary declal
the public testimony closed and opened the item for discussion among the Commission members.
Before going into the individual elements, Ms. Landers stated that the consultant, John Bridges, would lil
to address some of the EIR comments made at the last meeting by Dolores Welty.
John Bridges, Cotton Beland & Assoc., stated that the letter from Project Future, presented by Dolores
Welty at the last meeting, mentioned that the EIR document and the mitigation were both very broad in
scope and relied on City programs which may or may not take place. Mr. Bridges stated that a General
Plan is supposed to be broad in scope because it is a set of actions (rather than a single action) which wil
take place over the next 10 to 20 years. As a result, the environmental analysis which is conducted is als
of a broad nature because it, too, covers a 10 to 20 year span. As each project comes forward, there will
be a specific assessment made regarding environmental impacts and mitigation. The Project Future lette
also stated that the draft EIR needed to be recirculated because new information has become available
which was not included in the document. He noted that their were only 10 or 11 comments received on tt
EIR when it went out for public review. In accordance with CEQA, Section 9 of the EIR includes all of the

written comments which were received, as well as the responses. Several changes were made as a

That letter was almost identical to the Project Future letter presented by Dolores Welty at the March
1994 meeting. Mr. Bridges sees no reason for the document to be recirculated since there have bec
substantial changes.
Ms. Landers stated that Housing Program 4.1 which was discussed at the last meeting has now bee
completed and is in the City Manager's office for review. It contains information on a non-residenti,
impact fee for commercial development. It is mentioned as a mitigation measure for air quality and
Commission woulld like it deleted, it could be included in the Minutes of this meeting as a citation ac
the City Council of the Commission's desires.
Commissioner Welshons asked where this information is located in the document. Ms. Landers reF
that it is contained in the Mitigation Monitoring Checklist on page 13 under Air Quality, item 16.
Commissioner Erwin referred to the Project Future letter and stated that they see it as deficient bec
the defects they listed. Karen Hirata, Deputy City Attorney, replied that Mr. Bridges addressed theii
concerns appropriately because a General Plan is intended to be broad in scope and more details a
provided when specific projects come forth. In the Laurel Heights case, there was an allegation tha
information came up after the draft EIR was prepared. When the final EIR document came forward
Board of Regents, it was substantially different than the document which the public had received, si
had not been given an opportunity to comment. Mr. Bridges responded adequately to Project Futui
concern by stating that this draft El R , ~~~fBm~/IWI6fIln~~~bT~I~~~~/~/~~~/~~~/~~~~
the exception of a few minor changes, is the same one which was presented to the public, sc
same as the Laurel Heights situation.
Adrienne Landers, Senior Planner, inquired if there were any questions regarding the Vision Staten
the General Plan.
Commissioner Hall requested she explain how the goals, policies, and objectives work and how the
carried on through each of the elements. Ms. Landers replied that the goal is a very broad concept
in mind as you go through the element. The objective breaks down that goal into various compone
discusses how it will be achieved. In effect, the objective is an intermediate step towards attaining i
The program and policy breaks the goal down even further. The Vision Statement incorporates the
goal of each element and then as you go through each element that goal is reinforced.
Adrienne Landers;, Senior Planner, reviewed the comments made regarding the Land Use Element
- Carlsbad Research Center. Mr. Eyreni objected to the change of land use designations from
PI/RS/CTTS to PI (Planned Industrial). After reviewing this request, staff still recommends the PI
designation change. This change is consistent with what has been done for other industrial spec
plans and eliminates a long series of designations on the Land Use Map.

some residential projects due to environmental constraints or neighborhood compatibility. This (

the General Plan for many years with regard to Neighborhood Commercial development and staff is
simply broadening the policy to include community and regional commercial development. It is
appropriate to require feasibility studies for larger sites as well to determine if they are appropriate for
commercial development.
* Periodic Reviews of Commercial Sites. Comments were made by Ms. Besecker and Messrs. Yrisarri i
Ladwig regarding the two year periodic reviews. Exhibit "B prepared by staff, modifies this section wi
regard to larger commercial properties.
* Schools. Marshall Krupp expressed concern with regard to the deletion of the performance standards
from the Land Use Element and how this affects school mitigation. These standards have been put ba
into the Land Use Element. He also had a problem with the zoning of school sites as open space. Sta
felt that zoning of school sites would be more appropriately discussed at the time a school conditional
use permit is reviewed. Zoning is not really an appropriate discussion in the General Plan and therefo
all references to zoning of school sites have been removed in Errata #3. Mr. Krupp has reviewed both
changes and has found them to be acceptable. The Commission has received a copy of the revised
language which includes a minor modification as follows: "...with the previous General Plan land use
designation or a land use designation compatible with adjacent uses...". Mr. Krupp was also concerne
that the generation rates for schools were not included in the text. The generation rates referenced in
the EIR were received from the school district. If these are out-of-date or inaccurate, staff requests th
the school district note this in the record.
Arto Nuutinen requested a condition be included in the General Plan which was used in the Zone 20
Specific Plan to fund new school facilities using Mello Roos. Staff indicated that this is a project
mitigation measure which should not be included in a broad policy document like the General Plan.
Staff would prefer to do that on a project level basis. Mr. Nuutinen also stated that the school mitigatio
measures in the EIR and Growth Management Plan are inadequate. The City disagrees because the
current process through the Growth Management Plan allows the school district to vary mitigation as
student generation rates vary. The City believes funding sources are the district's issue and that this is
matter which the school district needs to pursue with the State.
* Precise Development Plans. SDG&E inquired about the use of PDPs for all types of utility uses,
including substations. Mr. Wayne stated that PDPs will be used for all utility uses with a "U" designatio
Substations would still come under the CUP process.
Commissioner Welshons inquired if the Olivenhain Elementary school site on El Camino Real had been
corrected. It should be located on Rancho Santa Fe Road. Ms. Landers stated that this was overlooked
and would be corrected.
Commissioner Erwin referred to Exhibit "A" and stated that he has a problem encouraging developers to
increase densities. He does not feel that the citizens of Carlsbad want densities increased.
Commissioner Schlehuber agrees with Commissioner Erwin. He would like the entire last paragraph of
page 16 deleted.
Michael Holzmiller, Planning Director, feels that something needs to be included which states that if
anyone goes below the density range it is still consistent with the General Plan. Staff has had some
problems with this in the past and they are trying to eliminate them now.
Commissioner Hall agrees with Commissioners Schlehuber and Erwin, although he could accept
something if it was very simple. Mr. Holzmiller stated that they could eliminate the whole thing and includc
a sentence to the effect that if the City approves a project below the minimum General Plan density range,
it would still be consistent with the General Plan.

Commissioner Sctilehuber referred to Exhibit "B" and stated that he likes the five year review for
commercial sites because it allows for changes if they are needed. He thinks this is quite fair.
Commissioner Betz disagrees. She would like to see that part stricken.
commissioner Hall inquired if this has been done in the past. Ms. Landers replied that it is somethii
and has not been done before. Commissioner Hall would like to see it stricken also. He feels that a
owner of commercial land should be able to develop his property whenever he sees fit. He thinks th
is a property right which should not be taken away by a City or governmental agency. If a property
has been paying tiaxes on commercial land, he should not have to come to the City every two years
order to keep his commercial zoning active. This sends a very clear message that we do not want I
to invest in our community.
Michael Holzmiller , Planning Director, stated that the proposed program came about as a result of t
economic development policy which was adopted about six months ago. Sometimes when a comm
venture wants to locate in the city, it may be on land which is not zoned commercial. He used as ai
example the Price Club. Staff had tried to encourage them to locate at El Camino Real and Collegr
one of the reasons they did not locate there was because of the commercial designation right acros!
street which had been zoned commercial for eight years.
Commissioner Hall replied that the property owner who has been paying taxes on commercially zor
property for eight %years should have more rights than someone new coming into town. He thinks it
the wrong message to people who have invested in this community over the past eight years. It sa)
you don't do something with your property soon, those outsiders who wish to come to the communi
have priority.
Commissioner Erwin says he can support the review because it makes it consistent with the way WE
master plans. Ms. Landers replied that it is similar after the first two years. Then they would be sut
a five year review just like a master plan.
Commissioner Hall stated that he may not want to do something in two years. As a property owner
should have that right. He should not be demanded to do something with his property.
Commissioner Welshons asked the attorney if this would be an impingement on a property right. h,
Hirata replied that in a general sense it is a property right. However, zoning can be changed by the

that five years may not be enough time. She would like to see this stricken.
Commissioner Hall stated that if people in Carlsbad who own commercial property realized what was or
the table tonight, he would venture to say this room would be packed and out the door. He thinks this is
the wrong message to send. Furthermore, he feels that five years is too short a time and this is a major
issue. He believes this topic should have its own hearing. Ms. Landers replied that all of the vacant
commercial property owners were notified of this hearing. She did not hear from anybody, although she
notices that Mr. Morey is here tonight.
Mr. Holzmiller commented that when staff originally started working on this, consideration was given to
only applying it to the future and grandfathering the existing zoning. Staff is currently dealing with somc
commercial proposals where the applicant has said they can't get someone interested in a particular site
unless it has a commercial designation. They have had requests for conditional two year zoning so the
property can be marketed. If, after two years, nobody is interested in the property, they are willing to rei
back to the existing zoning.
Commissioner Hall could buy off on the future but he is concerned about those property owners who ha1
owned commercial lots for many years. These properties don't change hands that often.
Ms. Landers stated that if the Commission would like to make that change, it could be easily
accommodated.
Commissioner Hall would like to hear from Mr. Morey, who is in the audience.
Fred Morey, representing La Costa Towne Centre, addressed the Commission and stated that this prope
has been on the General Plan Land Use Map since 1972. The development of Phis property depends on
development north and south of it, which could take another ten years. In their most optimistic viewpoin
they hope to have occupancy on some part of it within 5-6 years but they can't do any planning if they
have to deal with these reviews every few years. It is of great concern to him.
Commissioner Erwin noted that staff seemed to need this review in order to take care of some problems.
He would like to know if this tool is needed in order to review existing commercial property to make some
decisions or if it is only needed as a future tool. Ms. Landers replied that it would be a valuable tool to us
to evaluate existing commercial sites because some sites impact other sites. However, staff would be opc
to some modifications to Exhibit "B if necessary.
Commissioner Schlehuber called for a straw vote on all those in favor of accepting Exhibit "B." The vote
was 5-2 with Commissioners Haft and Betz opposed.
Commissioner Welshons inquired about the option to delete the study for the commuter corridor (red-lin
version, page 35). Ms. Landers replied that this section could be deleted if it is felt that the comprehensic
plan is not needed. Mr. Wayne feels that item #C could be deleted since there is already a requirement fl
a Specific Plan along this corridor.
Commissioner Schlehuber called for a straw vote on all those in favor of accepting the Land Use Elemenl
as presen!ed and amended, namely the language in Exhibit "A deleted and replaced by one sentence as
read into the record by Michael Holzmiller, Exhibit "B" retained as is, item #C regarding the South Coast
Corridor study deleted, Attachment #6, and all changes pertinent to Land Use on Errata Nos. 1,2 and 3.
The vote was 5-2 with Commissioners Hall and Betz opposed.

Terri Woods, Associate Planner, reviewed the comments made regarding the Noise Element.
- 60 CNEL. Comments were made by Ms. Besecker and Mike Howes that they are opposed to the 61
CNEL and the statement that noise walls are discouraged. Staff believes 60 CNEL is a reasonable
standard. The City has been implementing the 60 CNEL standard since Policy #17 was adopted ir
1990. There has been only one project since Policy #17 was adopted where 60 CNEL was not ach
and, in that case, findings were made to exceed the standard.
- Noise Walls. Staf is recommending various types of noise walls. Ms. Besecker requested informa
on how the noise walls would be implemented. Staff has proposed a draft Noise Guidelines Manu
which would contain that information. The manual is available in draft form and is anticipated to bc
brought forward for review and approval by the Planning Commission following adoption of the Gel I Plan.
e College Avenue. Several comments were received about noise along College Avenue in the northe
portion of the City. It is the City's policy that we won't go back and retrofit areas, In this case, hor
cost estimates anld mitigation measures will be provided to the homeowner associations and they w
have to decide how they want to proceed.
* Aircraft Noise. The County is preparing a master plan for the airport and is in the process of install
noise monitoring equipment in the City which will be able to detect which aircraft is violating airporl
take-off and landing procedures. This will enable the County to go directly to the offender and ad\
them of the violation.
* Barking Dogs. The issue has been looked at extensively by City staff. The City has adopted the
County's Animal Control Ordinance by reference. The City contracts with the County to implement
procedures. The City Council has determined that these methods are adequate.
Commissioner Welshons called for a straw vote on all those in favor of accepting the Noise Element fi
all references to CNEL being changed to 60 CNEL, and all changes pertinent to Noise on Errata Nos.
and 3. The vote was 7-0 in favor.
David Hauser, Assistant City Engineer, reviewed the comments made regarding the Circulation Elemc
- Melrose Drive. Ruth Besecker, on behalf of the Fieldstone Company, requested that Melrose Drive
of Rancho Santa Fe Road be fully downgraded from prime arterial to secondary arterial status. Thc
Circulation Element presently calls for this to go from prime arterial to major arterial, with the poten
secondary arterial. Staff would like to keep this flexibility in case plans change and in order to pres(
adequate right of way. He stated that the map is in error and should correctly read major arterial.
The Friends of Carrillo Ranch have requested that Melrose Drive between Palomar Airport Road ar
Alga Road be deleted or greatly downgraded since Highway 680 was cancelled. Staff would like to
retain the existing classification of prime arterial since SANDAG predicts that, even without the soul
connection, Melrose Drive will have traffic volumes ranging from 34,000 to 54,000 ADT on this segn
In addition, the recently approved Carrillo Ranch Master Plan provided a standards reduction on thr
horizontal and vertical design criteria from prime arterial to major arterial. This reduction reduced t
Melrose fill height from 80 ft. to 50 ft.
* Future Transportation Needs. Dan Downing has requested more consideration be given to future n
of transportation, Le. public transportation. Staff does not recommend changes or taking additional
dedications at thb time since transportation needs are served by North County Transit District and 1
have no plans in place to move beyond established roadways and the rail corridor.

. Palomar Airport Road Access. Paul Yrisarri, who represents property owners along Palomar Airpor
Road, has requested that the City provide some policy to protect historical access to those propertie
the Laurel Tree intersection. Staff believes existing policy is adequate regarding limiting access to F
arterials and does not recommend any changes at this time. Mr. Yrisarri's request can be
accommodated through the standards variance process and is best considered at the time a
development application is submitted.

Commissioner Betz stated that C-1, Alternative Modes of Transportation, states that the Plan encoura
construction of sidewalks in high pedestrian areas such as schools and commercial centers. She note
that there are no sidewalks at Magnolia Elementary School nor Valley Junior High School. She would
to know where on the prioritization list for sidewalks that these schools fall. Mr. Hauser replied that thc
are many variables to establish the priority for sidewalks. Schools are very high priority and he knows
plans are currently in process to construct sidewalks on Valley, between Chestnut and Magnolia and al
along Monroe Street at its intersection with Magnolia Street.
Commissioner Welshons called for a straw vote on all those in favor of accepting the Circulation Eleme
including any changes pertinent to Circulation on Errata Nos. 1,2 and 3. The vote was 7-0 in favor.
Terri Woods, Associate Planner, reviewed comments made regarding the Parks and Recreation Elems
. Trails. Commissioner Hall commented that he would like all references to the Citywide trail system
noted as the "proposed" trail system. Staff has noted that request, is in agreement, and will make th
appropriate changes.
Keith Beverly, Senior Management Analyst, Parks and Recreation, discussed the comments made by
SDG&E.
* SDG&E. Mr. Beverly stated that SDG&E has requested that the City enter into agreements to establi
and maintain access along the south shore of Agua Hedionda Lagoon. The City currently has in piac
long term lease agreement for a 92 acre Hub Park area on the south shore of the Lagoon with provis
for significant extensions of time. There is also an agreement in place for Macario Canyon which
includes the hub area. There are also conceptual plans for a beach area boat dock facility on the sot
shore of the Lagoon. In addition, there are conceptual plans to establish connecting access between
Veteran's Memorial Park and Hub Park. SDG&E has also requested limited public access to the Agc
Hedionda Lagoon wetlands. This issue will be regulated by the environmental agencies and is identi
on the conceptual pian of Macario Canyon. SDG&E is concerned about safe recreational use at the
Lagoon on a self-sustaining basis. The City currently provides a Lagoon patrol to ensure safety of
boaters and passive use of the Lagoon.
Commissioner Welshons inquired as to who owns the Lagoon, the State or SDG&E. Mr. Beverly stated
that in the ownership matrix the owner is identified as the State. There is a question regarding the stati
of the lagoon as an open navigable waterway. There was a question about the City's ability to require
insurance and the State Lands Commission has advised that it is an open navigable waterway. The Cil
has since dropped its requirement for insurance because the owners and operators of Snug Harbor reqi
insurance.
Commissioner Erwin inquired about the issue of pocket parks in master planned communities and inqui
if we were changing our philosophy. Mr. Beverly replied that the City supports pocket parks to the exter
that those parks are owned and maintained by homeowner groups and not the City.
Commissioner Erwin called for a straw vote on all those in favor of accepting the Parks and Recreation
Element with any changes pertinent to Parks and Recreation on Errata Nos. 1 through 3. The vote was

Adrienne Landers, Senior Planner, explained that since the General Plan is a very lengthy docume
Environmental Impact Report will be reviewed first and then each section of the General Plan will b
reviewed and discussed. She will make her presentation first, Planning Commissioners will ask qu
and then public testimony will be taken. After public testimony is closed, Planning Commissioners

Commissioner Erwin stated that he agrees with Commissioner Hall. Also, he would like the purpose of i
straw vote to be whether or not to move forward to the next element. He wants the approval vote taken i
the very end, after all of the elements have been discussed.
Commissioner Noble indicated that the straw vote merely means that all of the questions have been
answered and staff can move on to the next element.
Chairman Savary assured the Commission and audience that no one would be denied the opportunity tc
ask questions or express their opinion. Everyone will be exchanging ideas in an effort to come up with a
satisfactory General Plan that will benefit all of the citizens of Carlsbad.
Adrienne Landers, Senior Planner, reviewed the background of the request and stated that the City
prepared, in conjunction with Cotton Beland & Associates, a Master Environmental Impact Report (MEIR
to assess the environmental impacts that will result from implementation of the updated General Plan. T
Master EIR assumed the worst case or that maximum buildout will occur in the year 201 0. This year wa!
picked to avoid over-estimated long-term impacts. However, due to the present economic climate,
buildout probably will not occur until after 201 0 so that actual development and associated impacts will
probably be less than those identified in the EIR. The EIR is a program level document. It establishes
mitigation programs through the General Plan policies and programs which were based on public input
received during the public participation program and the review of the EIR. These programs will then be
included as mitigation measures when later development projects come in. The EIR addressed all the
usual issue areas and determined that impacts were mitigable in-all areas except air quality and
circulation. In these two areas, the impacts were significant and cannot be mitigated by the City.
Ms. Landers stated that air quality impacts cannot be mitigated for four reasons. As the City builds out a
the population and workforce increases, air quality will be impacted due to increased gas and power
consumption as well as vehicle miles traveled. These all result in increased air pollutants such as carbon
monoxide. Due to the City's proximity to Interstate-5 and Highway 78, we will also experience regional
traffic traveling through the City. Lastly, the City is located within the San Diego air basin which is
presently a non-attainment basin and does not comply with State and Federal standards regarding air
quality. The City has no jurisdictional control over either the through traffic or the San Diego air basin so
while there are local impacts to air quality, it is really a regional issue over which the City has no control.
However, the General Plan is proposing numerous programs to improve air quality and reduce traffic
congestion. Some of these include roadway and intersection improvements, methods to reduce the
number of daily trips, steps to address alternative modes of transportation such as bicycles and mass
transit, and participation in regional strategies to improve air quality. However, even with these measures
impacts to air quality will still be significant and unmitigable due to regional impacts which are beyond thc
City's ability to control.
Ms. Landers stated that circulation is the other area with unmitigable impacts. Again, as buildout occurs,
there will be an increase in traffic volumes. Roadway segments will be adequate to handle buildout traffic
however, 20 intersections will be severely impacted by regional through traffic over which the City has no
jurisdictional control. These generally include freeway interchange areas and major intersections along
Carlsbad Boulevard. Even with the implementation of roadway improvements such as striping and
additional dedication, a number of intersections are projected to fail the growth management performance
standards at buildout. The General Plan proposed a number of programs to address this issue. Included
are policies to ensure that roadway facilities are in place when needed, programs addressing alternative
modes of transportation (bicycles, trails and the commuter rail) which address not only circulation impacts
but are also an attempt to improve air quality as well. There are programs to participate in regional growtl
management and traffic congestion strategies, when finalized by SANDAG. Despite the City's best efforts,
however, there are still significant unmitigable impacts due to regional through traffic which, again, the Cit
cannot control.

Because the Master EIR has determined that there are significant and unmitigable impacts to air qual
and circulation, the City is required by CEQA to provide a Statement of Overriding Considerations to
the EIR. This has been provided in the EIR resolution which is part of the packet. It simply states tha
impacts in these two areas are regional impacts requiring a regional solution. In accordance with
Government Code, lhis statement is supported by findings which are also included in the resolution.
introduced John Bridges, the EIR Consultant, and stated that he was available to answer questions 01
Master EIR and how it affects subsequent projects as they come forward.
Commissioner Noblt! inquired if the reason it is difficult to control the traffic impacts is because a large
percentage of it comes from Los Angeles. Mr. Bridges replied yes. There is evidence that a large am1
of transport smog affects the San Diego basin during certain times of the year.
Commissioner Erwin inquired if the public will be allowed to speak on each separate issue, even thou!
they may have spoken before. Chairman Savary replied yes.
Chairman Savary opened the public testimony for the EIR and issued the invitation to speak.
Marshall Krupp, President of Community Systems Associates, Inc., 730 El Camino Way, Suite 200, TI
California, representing the Encinitas Union School District, addressed the Commission and stated th
comments cross over EIR and Land Use, but he will only address EIR issues at this time. He referred
Commission to page 5.1 2.7-1 which discusses education. In Section 5.12.7-3, it makes qualitative
conclusions of the impacts of the General Plan on schools. It is his understanding that CEQA require!
both a qualitative and quantitative analysis of impacts and there is no quantitative impact within the El
There is no statemerit in the EIR of what the impact on schools will be. There is no statement on the
number of students which will be generated, the number of facilities which will be required. However,
Section 5.12.7-4 it states that there will be an impact on schools, regardless of the fact that there was
quantitative analysis. It then states that the impact can be mitigated to a level of less than significant.
Krupp contends that the EIR cannot conclude impacts can be mitigated to a level of insignificance if tt
quantitative impact is unknown. Although the conclusion may be appropriate, it is not supported by tt'
EIR documentation. Under mitigation measures (5.12.7-5) it then states that mitigation will be in
conformance with the growth management plan, i.e. school capacity to meet projected enrollment witt
the zone as determined by the appropriate school district must be provided prior to projected occupan
This statement references Land Use Element section C-2. If you turn to the Land Use Element, the
redlined strike out copy eliminates this provision. There is no longer any performance standard in the
Use Element. So the EIR suggests a mitigation measure that is supposedly in the Land Use Element I
the Land Use Element has eliminated the performance standard. Therefore, the mitigation measure is
inappropriate. Finally, he stated that development fees under the statutory provisions of State law do I
mitigate impacts to 61 level of insignificance which makes that mitigation inappropriate as well.
Furthermore, Mello-Roos Community Facility Districts must be agreed to by the developer in question
when he moves forward so that may not mitigate the impacts either. Mr. Krupp believes that, in additic
air quality and circulation, schools should also be identified as not being able to be mitigated to a level
insignificance.
Ruth Besecker, Benchmark Pacific, 6670 El Camino Real, Carlsbad, addressed the Commission and
stated that she had f'AXed over a letter dated March 16, 1994 which set forth her comments on the El
She requested that her letter be entered into the record and become a part of the Minutes. She will thi

Dolores Welty, 2076 Sheridan Road, Leucadia, speaking on behalf of Project Future, addressed the
Commission and stated that considering the abundance of open space, rare, threatened, and endange
natural resources, Project Future is astonished that this project states that only air quality and traffic w
result in unmitigable impacts. All the mitigation is set aside for the future. She cannot see how there c
be a finding that natural resources will be mitigated to a level of insignificance when there is no
identification of what natural resources will be lost. Some of the natural resources to be considered an

endangered species, threatened species, endangered habitats, vernal pools, sage scrub, three wetland
riparian areas, etc. There isn't even a map which shows where these things are. She doesn't understa
how the City can say they have mitigated for all of these resources when nobody has even defined whf
they are located.
Arto Nuutinen, 4920 Campus Drive, Newport Beach, California, representing the Carlsbad Unified Schc
District., addressed the Commission and stated that his concerns overlap somewhat those made by Mr
Krupp earlier. He referred to his letter dated March 16, 1994 which details his objections to the EIR ani
the Land Use Element, and requested that the letter be entered into the record. In essence, the Districl
concerned about approving an element of the General Plan which would allow the City to grant
development approvals on affordable housing projects which would result in unmitigable facilities impa
One of the bases for this concern derives from conclusions in the EIR which suggest that affordable
housing is characterized by lower student generation rates than that of equivalent standard housing in
community. In fact, the District alludes to certain findings of the consultant firm of Recht, Hausrath &
Associates which indicates that affordable housing demographics are characterized by student genera
rates in excess of what is normally characteristic of student generation in this community. He will makc
available to staff copies of that report after he makes his comments on the Land Use Element. Mr.
Nuutinen feels that the fundamental flaw of the environmental analysis is the supposition that there will
a lower student generation.
Commissioner Erwin referred to Section 5.12.7-3 of the EIR, second paragraph, which states that
"...higher density affordable housing does not generate larger number of school-aged children than sir
types of housing for the general population." He inquired if this is the statement that the District conter
is in error. Mr. Nuutinen replied yes. That conclusion was based on certain findings involving certain
census reports which were the same fundamental analyses which were used by the Recht, Hausrath
report. He passed out pages 10-1 6 of the report for the benefit of the Commissioners.
Commissioner Noble inquired if the survey was conducted in Carlsbad. Mr. Nuutinen replied that it wa
taken in the Carlsbad area and surrounding communities. It was a two-tiered analysis.
There being no other persons desiring to address the Commission on the EIR, Chairman Savary decla
the public testimony closed and opened the item for discussion among the Commission members.
Commissioner Schlehuber would like staffs response to the issues raised by the two school districts.
Michael Holzmiller, Planning Director, replied that the performance standards for schools, referred to b
Mr. Krupp, have been incorporated back into the Land Use Element (Errata #2). They were deleted in
error. Staff used the Growth Management Plan as mitigation for schools because they felt that was the
proper vehicle. In regard to the issue of affordable housing and student generation, he stated that this
the first time he has seen the Recht, Hausrath study. Staff has not been aware of any studies or reseal
which indicated that affordable housing projects generate more students than moderate income housin
In fact, SANDAG prepared a study that compared bedroom size to low-income and moderate-income
it concluded that there is no difference. Staff would have to disagree with the school district's conclusic
based on the information they studied.
Commissioner Erwin asked Mr. Holzmiller if "bedroom size" means number of children per s.f. of bedrc
He replied no; that the study compared family size of one bedroom/low income with family size of one
bedroom/moderate income. A total project comparison is not as valid as when the project is broken do
into bedroom size. SANDAG's report concluded that there is no difference.
Commissioner Erwin stated that he would like to read that report. Mr. Holzmiller replied that he did noi
bring the report with him.
Commissioner Schlehuber stated that Mr. Krupp was concerned about the conclusions in 5.12.7-4. Hc

commissioner Schlehuber would like to know if this reinsertion of the Growth Management performar
standards would satisfy their concerns. Marshall Krupp, CSA, replied that this reinsertion does addre

based upon the impact. When you read the language in the EIR, you cannot determine what the imp;
As long as the performance standards are there, the school district is satisfied that there is a remedy t
can use in order to ensure that the implementation of the General Plan will not impact the district. Th
difficulty is that anyone who reads the EIR, once it has been certified, and once the General Plan has
adopted, can come to the same conclusion that there was no definition of what the impact was. It is
undefined at this point. In that case, the impact would have to be defined on every single project as it
comes forward to the City Council.
Commissioner Schlehuber believes this is a full protection because the school district has to, in effect,
certify the impact. Mr. Krupp replied that once the performance standard has been reinserted into the
General Plan, it satisfies his client's concern about impact mitigation. He is not sure, however, if it wil
satisfy CUSD's concjern regarding affordable housing.
Mr. Nuutinen, representing CUSD, stated that he was aware of Errata #2 and he recognizes that this
provides a mitigation measure. His client's concern relates to the actual analysis in the EIR which stal
that schools will be able to meet incremental growth in the community as it evolves. If that conclusion
premised on what they believe to be inaccurate information regarding student generation, they cannol
agree with it because they feel there may be a worst case scenario.
Commissioner Schlehuber commented that even with the worst case scenario, the school district has
hammer. Mr. Nuutirien replied that is true since affordable housing units will be pulled from the exces
fund. However, the school district has not received confirmation that this is true with the General Plar
Amendment. They want more clarification of the analysis so that they can point out where they disagi
with the analysis. They just want to make sure that the policy established by the City Council will con1 I to be implemented.
Commissioner Schlcthuber inquired if the school district would have no problem with the EIR if, in fact,
determined that all housing is governed by the City's growth management plan and that affordable hoi
must come from excess units. Mr. Nuutinen replied that even if the overall cap is met and excess unit!
pulled from the excess unit reserve, the school district would still be impacted when certain regions art
maximized. Their concern is that individual discretionary approval would still be allowed and could re:
in the approval of uriits beyond the control points.
Commissioner Schlehuber pointed out that even if that happens, the school district still has the hamm
Mr. Nuutinen appreciates that reminder.
Karen Hirata, Deputy City Attorney, requested that the study which Mr. Holzmiller referred to on stude

pending review by the City Council. They will make the decision on whether or not to go forward and
direct staff to adopt a fee program.
Commissioner Hall did not recall this program being adopted. Mr. Holzmiller replied that the adoption v
to "study and consider" creating a non-residential fee to help provide affordable housing. In effect, a fe
would be charged to commercial and industrial development, based upon square footage, that would tt
go into the Housing Trust Fund and be used to provide affordable housing. The program to consider tt-
type of a fee is part of the adopted Housing Element. After the Housing Element was adopted, the
Planning Commission and City Council then approved a work program for all of the components in the
Housing Element. That was one program which was included. Staff has completed the work and has
drafted a report which is now pending consideration by the City Council.
Commissioner Hall asked staff to explain the relevancy of Item #16 on page 2.05 under Air Quality. Jol
Bridges, EIR Consultant, replied that this is needed to provide a balanced set of land uses in the
community where people can have the opportunity to both live and work in the community to reduce
vehicle miles traveled. This is a regional strategy to improve air quality and is an indirect connection.
Commissioner Hall does not agree with that premise. He stated that it is used again in 5.5-4, Item #8.
Bridges stated that section of the EIR deals with the impacts of increased population in the community i
result of growth over time. The Housing Element programs are designed to address that increase in
population because housing is needed to accommodate the population. It is one of a combination of
programs suggested as mitigation.
Commissioner Hall inquired if when we speak to 4.1 we are speaking to future jobs, i.e. increase in
commercial and industrial activity. Mr. Bridges replied yes.
Commissioner Hall stated that his next concern relates to the trail system. In his interpretation of the El
document, it sounds as though the trail system is a sure thing. His understanding is that the trail syster
only a proposal. In each element, it discusses the trail system. Only when you get to the Parks &
Recreation element does it mention that the trail system is proposed. He thinks that the trail system shc

The comprehensive Citywide trail system is subject to a financing mechanism.
Commissioner Welshons commented that the two unmitigable points are air quality and circulation. If
alternate methods of transportation are needed to mitigate the air quality, it seems that the trail system
would be a high priority. Adrienne Landers, Senior Planner, replied that C-1 of the Open Space and
Conservation Element is to establish a trail system, provided that financing is approved. All of the
programs in the General Plan have been put into an implementing programs status chart that will be gii
to the Council for consideration on a yearly basis. They will take that into account when they establish
their annual goals and objectives and budget guidelines. That will be monitored and evaluated on the
City's ability to fund it.
Commissioner Betz referred back to Program 4.1 on page 5.3-8. Item #16 refers to an in-lieu fee for
affordable housing. She questions the last sentence which states "...employer assistance to provide
affordable housing for their employees." She doesn't understand why this is included in air quality. Mr
Holzmiller replied that the idea is that if you have employees who qualify for affordable housing, and thc
is no affordable housing in the City which causes them to live somewhere else, the distance between wl
they live and where they work in Carlsbad is greater so it causes more air quality problems because the
are more vehicle miles traveled. The idea is that if there is affordable housing in the City, and employec
qualify for that, not only will they be able to work here but they will be able to live here, thereby shorteni
the distance that they have to travel from home to work.
Mr. Bridges pointed out that air quality is one of the significant unmitigable impacts so if some of these
mitigation measures for air quality improvement seem like a stretch, they are intended to be. The City

needs to do everything they possibly can to improve the air quality situation, even though you cannoi
mitigate it. What they have tried to do is identify any programs in the General Plan that offer an
opportunity to reduce impacts to air quality. By doing that, you will have done everything you can, ai
can then adopt a statement of overriding consideration.
Commissioner Hall is concerned about the downside to this correlation. He understands where staff
trying to go with this but he doesn't think it has been studied enough to be included in the General PI
sounds like this is the sure method the City will pursue. He is not sure we have enough background l
incorporate this. Mr. Holzmiller replied that he thinks the misunderstanding is that there is nothing in
Housing Element or' EIR that says we have to adopt this type of program. All it is saying is that it sho
studied and considered. If the City Council decides that there isn't that correlation, and they don't wa
have non-residential contribute towards providing affordable housing in the City, it's okay to make th
decision. It won't violate the General Plan or the EIR if, after considering it, they decide not to do it.
Commissioner Welshons referred back to 5.5-4, Item #8, and stated that "The maintenance of a higt
quality of life and a strong local economy ..." sounds like an oxymoron. She thinks it is a contradictioi
when you follow it through and correlate it with the Housing Element, affordable housing, loss of ope
space, etc. You can't have both things. Ms. Landers replied that these are goals in the Housing Eler
which was adopted recently and approved by HCD. Commissioner Welshons stated that it still doesr
make it right.
Commissioner Noble doesn't think it is contradictory because the goal is to strive for those two things
General Plan is only an outline of goals.
Commissioner Welshons requested staff to address the mitigation measures for natural resources wh
was brought up by Dolores Welty. Ms. Landers replied that biological resources are included on one
maps in the General Plan. There are many policies and programs addressing habitat management
planning efforts.
Commissioner Welshons inquired if staff feels the concerns of that speaker have been addressed. MI
Holzmiller replied that the two concerns were (1 ) that we didn't have anything showing where the sen
resources are, and (2) that habitat protection was inadequately covered. He feels both issues have bt
addressed because there is a vegetation map on page 5.4-2 showing a complete inventory of the hat
the City and there are also numerous references to the habitat management planning efforts that the (
and the region are involved in.
Chairman Savary inquired if the Commission is prepared to vote on the EIR. Adrienne Landers, Seni
Planner, noted that the Planning Commission would be recommending certification of the EIR to the t
Council.
Commissioner Schlehuber commented that he believes the school district has some valid concerns bi
does think the impacts have been mitigated. As to Project Future's concerns, he believes that the mal
clearly states what is needed. Commissioner Hall's comment regarding the proposed trail should be
included. In regard to the comments regarding the Housing Element and a possible tax on employen
affordable housing,. Commissioner Schlehuber feels that since these are only goals, any action would
be taken after significant public hearings and the tax may never happen. Someone will have to convii
the City Council to do it and now it only gives them a tool to consider. He can accept the EIR with Mr.
Hall's suggestion on any reference to the trail system.
Commissioner Hall has strong objections to Section 4.1. He has stated these objections before and hc
not vote in favor of the EIR as long as this wording exists.
Chairman Savary requested Commissioner Hall to reiterate exactly what he objects to. Commissionei
replied that wherever the EIR speaks to 4.1, it is speaking to a future tax on business.

Commissioner Betz agrees with Commissioner Hall. She would like to see 4.1 deleted.
Commissioner Welshons thinks the trails should be a flashing red light because it would help minimize
circulation and air quality.
Mr. Holzmiller suggested that a vote be taken on whether or not to strike 4.1 because it comes up agair
the General Plan Amendment. The City Council has already directed staff to bring this forward. Wher
they adopted the lnclusionary Ordinance, they promised residential developers that they would at least
consider this aspect. That will go forward to the City Council, regardless of what is in the EIR. Howevr
the issue is whether or not to believe that this is an adequate mitigation measure to reduce air quality, !
has already determined that air quality is unmitigable. He doesn't want the two issues confused.
Commissioner Noble stated that if the City Council has final authority, he doesn't think any options sho
be taken away from them. They could also force employers to urge employees to use alternative forms
transportation.
Commissioner Hall knows that the City Council has the final say but these are the driving documents.

commercial uses in master planned and industrial areas. The Element also focuses on programs to crt
a stronger economic focus in the City. Policies were also added to require a full range of residential
densities and stress the necessity of achieving minimum permitted densities. The Public Facilities Elen
has also been integrated into the Land Use Element. Ms. Landers discussed the major issues of the
circulation, noise, public safety, housing, open space and conservation, parks and recreation, and arts
elements.
Chairman Savary opened the public testimony and issued the invitation to speak.
Ofelia Escobedo, 161 1 James Drive, Carlsbad, President of the Barrio Carlsbad Association, addressel

Art0 Nuutinen, 4920 Campus Drive, Newport Beach, representing the Carlsbad Unified School District
(CUSD), addressed the Commission and reiterated his previous comments regarding the environment
analysis as part of the land use discussion. Although the General Plan contains a performance stand;
which states that “sc11001 capacity to meet projected enrollment within each zone must be provided pri(
projected occupancy”, there is no policy which ensures that public school facilities will be properly func
The school fees presently authorized are not sufficient to ensure that school facilities will be adequate
meet the needs of th’e community. CUSD is therefore seeking mitigation which would provide that
assurance as part of the General Plan Update. CUSD also disagrees with the statement that affordabi
housing provides fewer students than equivalent conventional housing. This premise by the City couli
allow for approvals which result in density intensive zones that, even with the growth management cei
would have physical environmental effects on the public facilities of the City, including schools. To ad
this impact, CUSD would like to have the development condition which the Planning Commission and
City Council have included in recent development approvals integrated as part of the General Plan I Amendment.
Commissioner Erwin inquired if the mitigation that CUSD is seeking is to include in the General Plan
agreement CUSD has with the City. Mr. Nuutinen replied that is correct. Even though each individuz
project would contain the condition, they would also like to have it integrated into the General Plan.
Chase Coman, 5855 Sunny Creek Road, Carlsbad, representing himself and his mother, Dorothy Ebi
addressed the Comrnission and stated that he had written a letter dated March 11, 1994 which discus
his reasons for being in attendance at this public hearing. Mr. Coman read the letter aloud and requc
that it be included in the minutes. In his letter, Mr. Coman stated that his mother had received notice
her 9+ acres might be affected by the proposed open space amendments to the General Plan. After
reviewing the maps at the Planning Department, he discovered that most, if not all, of his mother’s pi
would be classified iaS constrained. He met with Terri Woods and was advised that the constraints w
the result of the 100 year flood plain and the creek which runs through his mother’s property. Howev
Open Space and Canservation map is at odds with the Zone 15 LFMP Constraints Map which, he bel
more accurately depicts the flood plain affecting far less of the site. He is concerned that a generaliz
boundary on a map, even though it is incorrectly drawn, could eventually lead to a complete taking 0
mother’s property. Section 3.a. on page 10 of the March 16, 1994 staff report states that the map re\
pertaining to constrained lands do not depict precise boundaries. It further states that boundaries wil
modified slightly in the future as more detail becomes available, Le. the tentative map process. The
primary purpose of his letter is to state, for the record, that more than a slight modification to the ope
space map presented this evening may be required to accurately reflect conditions on his mother’s
property. He is also requesting an opportunity to meet with staff to revise the limits of the open spac
designation affecting her property in order to reflect actual conditions prior to the City Council adopt
the proposed General Plan Amendment. If that is not possible, he is requesting confirmation that sit
specific studies will be required before the actual boundaries of the City’s open space zone is establi! I the area.

Ms. Landers stated that she would see that Mr. Coman receives a copy of that memorandum. She
confirmed that staff has met with Mr. Coman and the changes he requested have been made.
Ruth Besecker, 6670 El Camino Real, Carlsbad, representing Benchmark Pacific, Fieldstone, and Ka
Poinsettia, addressed the Commission and referred to her nine page letter dated March 16, 1994. Th
entities own approximately 3,092 undeveloped acres of land which will be impacted by the proposed
General Plan Amendment. She stated that the updated General Plan creates some potential conflict:
which she would like to see remedied. Some of her concerns are as follows:
- Noise Walls as a Last Resort - This requirement could prohibit many developers from meeting the
' minimum density requirement. Further, when the Habitat Management and Open Space plans are
overlaid, they will create additional conflicts. She requested that a subcommittee be formed to disci
some of the ambiguities and internal inconsistencies in the proposed General Plan Amendment.
* 60 CNEL Noise Level - She noted that the noise level is stated at 60 CNEL instead of 65 CNEL. St
was under the impression that 60 CNEL was only an interim policy to see how it worked until the Nc
Element was updated. She feels this issue deserves more study and she renewed the same objectic
that were discussed when the idea was first proposed. Some consideration needs to be given to are
where noise levels cannot be controlled, i.e. properties adjacent to freeways, the rail corridor, and pr
arterials. In the Arroyo La Costa project, for instance, if no walls or berms were allowed and 60 CNE
was the standard, the project would lose 206 lots or 19% of its project. That would probably elimina
the feasibility of the project from an economic standpoint. She realizes that the General Plan is only
outline, however, rather than making a statement that is too specific when addressing noise mitigatic
she would suggest wording such as "encourage attractive street scenes" as a possible alternative.
. Minimum Densities - The staff report states that a developer would be required to show cause why
densities thresholds could not be met and, in addition, would be required to process a General Plan
Amendment. However, in the strike-out version of the Land Use Element, it appears that this may b
discretionary rather than mandatory. Since there is an inconsistency here, she would like to go on
record as objecting to a requirement for a General Plan Amendment.
- South Coast Commuter Corridor - The language states that additional planning would be required d
to emerging issues with SANDAG regarding densities in those areas, etc. Benchmark Pacific has
recently purchased 3,000 undeveloped acres in that area and is the largest landholder. They are rea
to start the application process. They are concerned that their application may be delayed significanl
the City decides to require a comprehensive plan for the commuter corridor. She would like to see tl-
language changed.
+ Two Year Review for Commercial Uses - It is next to impossible for a developer with a multi-phased
project to secure financing from a lender if the project must be completed within two years. She woul
like some reconsideration on that language.
* Circulation - Fieldstone would like to request consideration in classifying Melrose, south of Rancho
Santa Fe, to secondary arterial status. This subject is dealt with in detail in her letter but, basically, st
is requesting that this decision be made now so that the debate does not continue into the future.
* Open Space Element - She would like some thought given to how the Open Space Element related tc
the Habitat Management Plan once it is implemented. She suggested the possibility of open space
credits to create some flexibility.

Marshall Krupp, Community Systems Associates, Inc., 730 El Camino Way, Tustin, California, repres
the Encinitas School District, addressed the Commission and stated that he is concerned that there a
errors in the documentation. As an example, in Attachment #11 a school is identified at the El Camir
Real and Rancho Santa Fe intersection and there is no such intersection. Other items he discussed
as follows:
- School Impacts -- He can accept the mitigation regarding performance standards as contained in 1
errata sheet prepared by staff.
a Open Space - On page 29 of Attachment #26 and page 25 of Attachment #4, there is discussion (
space as it relates to schools. He is concerned that existing school sites are designated on the mi
open space since it is a violation of State law, specifically Government Code 65852.9. (He providt
copy of that language for the benefit of staff and the Commissioners.) The Encinitas School Distri
opposed to the zoning of school sites as open space because it effectively devalues the property a
a costly process to have the site rezoned. Furthermore, in Attachment #lo, the General Plan
designation for Olivenhain Elementary School is being changed from RLM to E but under the zoni
action it shows tlhat site as R-l-10,000 with no change. Mr. Krupp provided an errata sheet for
consideration with wording that is consistent with State law.

School District to rezone the property. Mr. Krupp replied that according to State law, a school site n
designated the sarne as surrounding properties. In other words, it cannot be zoned as open space.
Commissioner Schlehuber suggested that perhaps staff should consider using the "Unplanned" zon
school sites. Michael Holzmiller, Planning Director, replied hat if a site has been purchased or ther
has always zoned proposed school sites as open space until it is either purchased by the school disi

a school is built on the site. The school district doesn't have a problem with the General Plan designatic
They only have a problem with the zoning. This law may have been created after all of the school sites
were rezoned about 15 years ago.
Karen Hirata, Deputy City Attorney, disagrees with Mr. Krupp's assessment and how it applies to what tt
City is doing here. In her opinion, the City is doing nothing illegal here and it hasn't been doing anythinc
illegal in the past. This code section states that the City cannot "rezone" a site to open space prior to thc
sale. If the school district were trying to sell a site for a goodly sum, the City could not come along and
rezone the site to open space just to stop the sale of the property. This is not what we are doing; the
school sites are not being rezoned.
Mr. Krupp believes that zoning school sites as open space is inconsistent with this government code
section because it clearly states that the land use designation must be compatible with surrounding land
uses. He believes there is no reason to zone a school site as open space unless the City desires to
purchase that site at a devalued price if it became available for sale. Ms. Hirata disagrees with Mr. Krupl
&$hfipfibh legal analysis.
Commissioner Erwin inquired if this reasoning is because the school district wants to get the highest
zoning possible in the event of a resale. Mr. Krupp replied no; it is actually more related to the school's
asset management program.
Commissioner Erwin inquired if this is so the property could be sold and developed into a large apartmer
complex. Mr. Krupp replied no. If R-1 is the surrounding zoning, then the school site should be R-1 as
well.
Commissioner Erwin understands that when a school is built, the site is usually provided by the develope
and the State provides the rest of the money. Mr. Krupp replied that is not correct. There is a 5040%
program as well as a 100% program. The State doesn't always put up all the money and developers are
not required to dedicate property for a school. They are required to pay a fee. However, Carlsbad has
greater leverage as a result of the Growth Management program. Some developers have dedicated land
lieu of school fees.
Commissioner Erwin inquired when a school is sold that was built under the 50-50°/0 program, does the
State get back 50% of the money. Mr. Krupp replied that if a school is undercapitalized, the State
sometimes waives this requirement. If a school is under capacity, the State may require payment. The
actual amount would be negotiated.
Wesley Radoycich, 2620 El Aguila Lane, Carlsbad, addressed the Commission and stated that he
represents the Friends of Carrillo Ranch. The proposed Highway 680 was cancelled due to environment:
problems. The Friends would like to recommend that the Melrose Avenue link from Palomar Airport Roac
to Rancho Santa Fe Road be greatly downgraded or, preferably, deleted from the Circulation Element of
the General Plan. Otherwise, the huge amounts of traffic on Melrose will create a traffic bottleneck that
would injure the delicate Carrillo Ranch. Mr. Radoycich's remarks were submitted to the Minutes Clerk fc
inclusion in the record.
Bob Ladwig, 1947 Camino Vida Robles #108, Carlsbad, representing MAG Properties, addressed the
Commission and stated that his client is concerned about the two year review on commercial properties
since the development of commercial properties normally has to wait for development of the surrounding
area. Many times this takes up to four years for an area to fully develop. He requested consideration in
having that language deleted or amended.
Richard Chick, 2775 Spokane Way, Carlsbad, representing Joe Sherman, addressed the Commission anc

Don Friedlander, 2245 Nob Hill Drive, Carlsbad, addressed the Commission and stated that in looking i
the EIR, he sees an area of noise mitigation which has been overlooked. That is the noise of aircraft in
City of Carlsbad. The proposed General Plan seems to address the concerns of airport noise in terms (
the areas immediately surrounding the airport. The landing pattern runs east and west, however the flii
pattern for aircraft from Los Angeles runs the entire breadth of the City. He realizes that the City has nc
direct control of aircraft because the airport is controlled by the County. Mr. Friedlander would like to s
some controls on aircraft-generated noise in the City. He thinks existing residents have the right to enj
quiet.
Commissioner Erwin inquired if the aircraft noise he is referring to comes from twin turbo props. Mr.
Friedlander replied yes, that it is mostly from commercial aircraft. He feels the noise will be 40% worse
buildout but it depends on where the San Diego airport is moved to.
Ernestine Graves, 4620 Buckingham Place, Carlsbad, addressed the Commission and stated that she I
at Tamarack Pointe. She has called the City several times to complain about the aircraft noise. She al
has a problem with barking dogs.
Caroline Prescott, 4669 Woodstock, Carlsbad, addressed the Commission and stated that she likes the
proposed General Plan but she is concerned about College Boulevard and the setback requirement for
walls. She would like to see trees planted along streets with a lot of traffic. It would also protect the wal
from graffiti artists. She is concerned that the wall along College Boulevard will be a great target for
graffiti. She also has a problem with barking dogs in her neighborhood, but she has never found airpor
noise to be a big problem. She loves being able to fly out of Carlsbad. Lastly, she would like to know if
powerline easements were considered due to the public controversy about EMF.
Commissioner Welshons inquired how the College Boulevard realignment will affect her. Ms. Prescott
replied that the proposed College Boulevard will bring a tremendous amount of traffic into her
neighborhood. Her father used to be on the Planning Commission and he told her that when that
alignment was created there was never a plan to place business uses in the residential area.
Albert Benguiat, 2947 Lexington Circle, Carlsbad, addressed the Commission and stated that he has hti
many problems with barking dogs in his neighborhood. He brought along a tape recording made in his
bedroom if anyone was interested. He asked the City on numerous occasions to look into the problem.
The County of San Diego has an Office of Noise Control. They send a warning letter and if the problem
continues, the District Attorney's off ice files a misdemeanor complaint against the offender. If convicted
the offender can be fined up to $1,000 for each count or they can be sent to jail. He thinks the City of
Carlsbad needs an effective process to deal with barking dogs. He will continue to complain until the
process is improved.
Karen Hirata, Deputy City Attorney, replied that Mr. Benguiat has written numerous letters to the City an
staff has spent a great amount of time investigating the problem. She feels that our ordinance is adequ:
and staff does not recommend any changes.
Mike Howes, Hofman Planning Associates, 2386 Faraday, Carlsbad, addressed the Commission and
stated that he hopes the Planning Commission will adopt 65 CNEL as the standard because it is extremi
difficult to meet the 60 CNEL requirement. It means the difference between a 6 ft. wall and a 10 ft. wall.
Berms eat up land. For instance, a 6 ft. berm requires 27 ft. of developable area. In order lo mitigate
Rancho Carrillo to 60 CNEL, it will require 10-1 2 ft. walls or 125 ft. setback. Many cities use 65 CNEL
along freeways and major transportation corridors.
Commissioner Erwin asked staff what the consultant recommended for the CNEL. Terri Woods, Associi
Planner, replied that staff originally suggested 65 CNEL but the noise consultant recommended 60 CNE

believes that 5 dBA is a significant amount of noise. Mr. Howes concurred that 5 dBA is when you (
notice the difference.
Paul irisari, 181 7 tianscomb Drive, South Pasadena, addressed the Commission and stated that he
representing the owners of property located in the southeast corner of Laurel Tree Lane and Palom:
Airport Road. Under air quality and circulation, mitigation calls for limited access on high use road:
as Palomar Airport Road. However, he is concerned that historical access be preserved. The propc
is speaking to is served by Laurel Tree Lane, which has and can provide future access to the proper
would like to make sure that historical access is not denied, particularly in areas where access may
denied because the arterial is an important one and the deceleration lanes are extreme. He contenc
if other access is denied from important arterials, then secondary access should be assured.
Bob Ladwig, 1947 Carnino Vida Robles #108, Carlsbad, representing MAG Properties, addressed tt
Commission and stated that this is the first time he has seen the exhibit which was handed out rega
potential alternatives, Program C.12. As he understands it, if commercial sites are within a Master (
Specific Plan, they will be exempt from the periodic reviews. If that is correct, he would be satisfied
that.

1.1 Puruose
This document is an Addendum to the Final Master Environmental Impact Report (Master EIR) for
City of Carlsbad General Plan. The Addendum has been prepared in accordance with the Califor
Environmental Quality Act (CEOA) of 1970 (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.) and
Guidelines for the lrmplementation of CEOA (California Administrative Code Section 15000 et se
The City of Carlsbad (hereinafter referred to as the "City") completed its draft General Plan in Febru
1993. The Final Master EIR evaluates the environmental effects of adopting and implementing
General Plan, and establishes a mitigation monitoring program.
The General Plan EllR fulfills the provisions for a Master EIR established in Section 21 156 of the Pu
Resources Code. The Master EIR evaluates a broad range of potential environmental impa
associated with the! long-term implementation of the Carlsbad General Plan. The Master EIR allc
consideration of broad policy alternatives and programmatic mitigation measures. The degree
specificity used to analyze the potential adverse environmental impacts in the Master EIR is relate(
the broad nature of the policy recommendations contained in the General Plan. The Master
includes the same contents presently required for all ElRs plus a description of anticipated subsequ
projects that are within the scope of the Master EIR. The Master EIR will serve as the basis
environmental review and impact mitigation for subsequent projects.
The Draft General Plan and Master EIR were distributed to public agencies and other interested par for public review in accordance with the requirements of CEQA and state planning law. Wril
comments on the (draft documents were solicited and public hearings were held to receive vel
comments. Based on the comments received, the City has made several minor modifications to
General Plan as outlined in Exhibit "A" of this Addendum.
1.2 Leaislative Authoritv
The Addendum to the Final Master EIR is authorized by Section 15164 of the CEOA Guidelines.
Addendum is allowed under specific circumstances where, in order to comply with CEQA, the
requires "minor technical changes or additions" that "do not raise important new issues about
significant effects on the environment," and where no factor is present that would require
preparation of either a subsequent or supplemental EIR. (CEOA Guidelines Section 15174 (a).]
Addendum is a tool to make minor corrections in ElRs without recirculating the EIR. The CE
Guidelines allow the Addendum to be included in or attached to the Final EIR. The decision-mal
body must consider the addendum along with the Final EIR when making a decision on the propc
project.
The minor changes made to the Carlsbad General Plan do not alter the conclusions of
environmental analysis in the Master EIR. No additional environmental effect will result from
changes. Additionally, mitigation measures in the Master EIR have been modified if necessari
accommodate the !slight changes in the General Plan.

The minor changes to the Land Use Plan do not constitute any of the conditions requiring the
preparation of either a subsequent or supplemental EIR. According to Section 151 62 of the CEOA
Guidelines, a subsequent EIR or supplemental EIR is required only under the following conditions:
1. Subsequent changes are proposed in the project which will require important revision
of the previous EIR due to the involvement of new significant impacts not considered
in the previous EIR.
0 The minor changes to the Carlsbad General Plan will not change the
conclusions of the environmental analysis in the Master EIR.
2. Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project
is undertaken which will require important revision in the previous EIR due to the
involvement of new significant environmental impacts not covered in the previous EIR.
0 The environmental circumstances under which the Carlsbad General Plan will
be implemented have not changed. The modifications to the General Plan will
not cause the environmental circumstances to change and no new
environmental impacts will result.
-
3. New information of substantial importance about project impacts, feasible mitigation
measures or alternatives has become available.
0 No new information about the impacts of the Carlsbad General Plan, additional
feasible mitigation measures or alternatives has become available.

1.1
This Master Environmental Impact Report (Master EIR) evaluates the 1993 update of the General PI;
for the City of Carlsbad (hereinafter referred to as the "City"). An updated draft General Plan WE
completed in February 1993 and serves as the project that is the subject of this EIR. This Master El has been prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970 (Pub1
Resources Code Section 21 000 et seq.), the Guidelines for Implementation of CEQA (Californ
Administrative Code Section 15000 et seq.), and Title 19 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code.
The update and amendment of a general plan constitutes a project for the purposes of the CEQA ar
the State CEQA Guidelines. This Master EIR is designed as an informational report and is not a Ci
policy document. It is intended for use by the City decision makers, any federal, state and loc
jurisdictional public agencies and the general public. The document provides information regarding tt
potential environmental impacts related to implementation of the updated Carlsbad General Plan. TI
purpose of the Master EIR, under the provisions of CEQA, is "to identify the significant effects oi
project on the environment, to identify alternatives to the project, and to indicate the manner in whi
these significant effects can be mitigated or avoided" (Public Resources Code Section 21 002.1 (all
In accordance with the provisions of the CEQA Guidelines, this EIR is prepared as a Master EIR. T
provisions for the Master EIR were established in Assembly Bill 1888 which was signed into law
October 1993. The bill was written for the purpose of streamlining the CEQA process and authori
the use of a Master ElR to: 1) allow complex and controversial environmental impacts to be analyzi
and addressed early in the CEQA process; and 2) reduce or eliminate subsequent, redundant analy!
of environmental impacts. According to AB 1888, general plans are appropriate subjects for Mas1
EIRs. The provisions; of the Master EIR are identified in the CEQA Guidelines as of January 1, 19!
in Section 21 157 of the Public Resources Code.
This Master EIR evaluates a broad range of potential environmental impacts associated with long-tei
implementation of the Carlsbad General Plan and allows the City to consider broad policy alternativ
and programmatic mitigation measures. The degree of specificity used to analyze the potential adver environmental impacts in the Master EIR is related to the broad nature of the policy recommendatia
contained in the updated General Plan. This Master EIR includes the same contents presently requir
for all ElRs plus a description of anticipated subsequent projects that are within the scope of t
Master EIR. The Master EIR serves as the basis of environmental review and impact mitigation *
subsequent projects I
1.2 Master EIR Use
This Master EIR h;is been prepared to assess the environmental impacts that will result fr
implementation of the updated Carlsbad General Plan. The EIR is a program-level document t
identifies significant impacts for a variety of issues and establishes program-level mitigation rneasu
to effectively reduce significant impacts. The mitigation measures consist of General P
implementation policies and programs. Many of the program-level mitigation measures will reqi
further refinement as the project-level impacts of subsequent projects and appropriate project-le
mitigation measures are determined.
This Master EIR contains the same contents presently required for all ElRs plus a description
anticipated subsequent projects that are within the scope of the Master EIR. Once a propo!

subsequent project of any type is filed with the City of Carlsbad, the City will determine whether or
not the subsequent project is identified in the Master EIR. If a project is not identified in the Master
EIR as a subsequent project, then an Initial Study is prepared pursuant to CEQA and a Mitigated
Negative Declaration, or a Subsequent or Supplemental EIR is prepared to update the Master EIR.
If a project is identified in the Master EIR as a subsequent project, an Initial Study is prepared. With
the Initial Study the City then determines whether or not the significant environmental impacts of the
subsequent project are addressed by the Master EIR. If the City can make the following findings based
on the results of the Initial Study, no further environmental review is required:
The subsequent project is within the scope of the Master EIR;
The project will not cause any additional significant effects on the environment not
described in the Master EIR; and
No new or additional mitigation measures or alternatives are required to mitigate the
subsequent project's significant environmental impacts.

Should the City determine that the subsequent project may cause significant environmental impacts
not addressed in the Master EIR, either a Mitigated Negative Declaration, an EIR, or a focused EIR is
prepared. A focused EIR may be prepared for a subsequent project if the City determines that the
Master EIR's analysis of cumulative impacts, growth inducing impacts, and irreversible significant
effects on the environment is adequate for the r .bsequent project. The diagram below describes the
environmental review process for subsequent prUjects filed with the City of Carlsbad after certification
of the Master EIR.

FINAL MASTE I CITY OF CARLSBAD EnvironmentaI Impact Rem
2.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
2.1 The Proiect
The proposed projec:t analyzed in this Master EIR is the adoption of the updated City of Carlst
General Plan. The EIR provides a program-level analysis examining the overall effects of the land u:
and development intensities established by the updated General Plan.
2.2 Projt!ct Location
The updated Carlsbad General Plan applies to areas within the City limits which encompa
approximately 42 square miles. The City is located along the Pacific coast in northern San Die
County. San Diego is the most southwesterly county of the continental United States and is locat
north of the Mexican border. Carlsbad is bounded by the City of Oceanside to the north; the City
Encinitas to the south; the Cities of San Marcos and Vista and unincorporated County areas to 1
east; and the Pacific Ocean to the west.
2.3 m?ct DeveloDment Characteristics
The objective of the updated General Plan is to establish definitive guidelines and policies which L
allow for orderly, efficient, and sustained growth in the City of Carlsbad. Through implementation
these goals and policies, the City will work toward providing a pleasant living and working environmc
while conserving and maintaining the natural physical environment to the greatest degree possiblt
The updated General Plan consists of the following seven mandatory elements that fulfill the State la
related to city planning as well as two optional elements:

Land Use
Circulation
Open Space and Conservation (combined)
Noise
Safety
Housing
Parks and Recreation (optional)
Arts (optional)
In terms of physical development of the City, the General Plan Elements of most significance are t
Land Use and Circulation Elements. The Land Use Element provides for the ultimate development
52,638 dwelling units and 58.3 million square feet of non-residential uses. The Land Use Elemt
incorporates the City’s Growth Management Plan. The number of new dwelling units allowed by t
Land Use Element is somewhat less than the maximum number of units allowed by the Grov
Management Plan dlue to recognized environmental constraints. The Circulation Element provic
transportation improvements to accommodate the planned development. The other elements COnti
programs and policies to preserve environmental quality as development proceeds according to t
Land Use Element.
FINAL MASTER
Enwkonmenfal Impact ReDort
2.4 Environmental Impacts
The City of Carlsbad determined that an EIR should be prepared for the updated General Plan pursuant
to the CEQA Guidelines. The environmental issue areas identified in the Initial Study for assessment
in the EIR include:
CITY OF CARLSBAD
Soil and Geology
Hydrology Noise
Air Quality
Biological Resources Aesthetics
Population/Housing Utilities and Public Services
Land Use Natural Resources
Circulation
Cultural and Paleontological Resources
Health, Safety, and Nuisance Factors
The impact assessment in this Master EIR assumes that maximum buildout will occur at 2010. This
maximum development scenario is used in the analysis to avoid underestimation of long-term impacts.
The environmental impact analysis in this document is based on the change between development
conditions existing in 1990 and those projected for the maximum development scenario in 2010.
Many of the technical reports employed in this Master EIR rely on 1990 environmental conditions and
this base year is consequently used throughout the Master EIR to provide a consistent analysis. Actual
buildout of the General Plan, however, will most likely not occur until after 2010 due to regional
economic conditions. As a result, the actual development and associated environmental impacts at 2010 will most likely be less severe than the environmental impacts identified in this Master EIR. A
summary of the environmental impacts of the proposed project, cumulative impacts, and required
mitigation measures is provided in Table 2.0-1 : Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures.
See set, 9.0: Growth-inducing impacts are also assessed in the EIR. Adoption of the Carlsbad General Plan will not
Response TT result in significant growth-inducing impacts. The General Plan will not cause growth but rather it is
an approach required of cities and counties by the State of California to accommodate, manage, and
control growth.
2.5 Potential Siqnificant Impacts
Based on the data and conclusions in this EIR, the City finds that the proposed project will result in
significant cumulative air quality and circulation impacts due to daily regional through traffic utilizing
City of Carlsbad roadways which cannot be fully mitigated. Implementation of the mitigation measures
outlined in this document can reduce all other impacts to a level of less than significant.
2.6 Potential Areas of Controversy
CEQA Guidelines require potential areas of controversy to be identified in the Executive Summary. The
following items may generate public controversy during project implementation:
0
0
Land use density and intensity standards;
Providing for an appropriate range of housing to ensure adequate number of affordable
housing;
Designation of areas to be preserved as open space; and
Development constraints due to the federal listing of the California gnatcatcher as
threatened.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES
I. Unavoidabte Significant Environmental Impacts (Lead Agency must issue "Statement of Overriding
Considerations" 'under Section 15093 and l5126@) of 'the State CEQA Guidelines if the agency determ
these effects are significant and wishes to approve the project).
AIR QUALITY
Potential Environmental Impact
As development proceeds, emissions from mobile sources (e.g., can. trucks, buses) and stationary sources (power use and commercia
light industrial development) will increase. In addition, several intersections will be significantly impacted by General Plan buildout i
carbon monoxide "hot spots" may occur periodically. Implementation of the General Plan will require new construction projects whii
produce short-term air quality impacts. Although the City will implement measures to reduce the generation of emissions, the cumu
impact cannot be mitigated to less than significant. The San Diego Air Basin is a non-attainment basin and any additional air emiss
are considered significant.
Mitigation Measures
Planned Land Use Pattern
1. Development applications should contribute to and extend existing systems of foot or bicycle paths, equestrian trails, and the
greenbelts provided for in the Circulation. Parks and Recreation and Open Space Elements. (Land Use Element. Overall Land

interest, major transportation corridors, neighborhood commercial centers, and the proposed Carlsbad Trail System. (Combine(
from Land Use Element, Overall Land Use Pattern, C.7.7; Residential, C.12: Commercial C.2.e.)
Provide for a sufficient diversity of land uses so that schools. parks and recreational areas, churches and neighborhood shoppini
centers arc available in close proximity to each resident of the City. (Land Use Element, Overall Land Use Pattern, C.8.)

Potential Environmental Impact
Carlsbad traffic is composed of local traffic and through traffic. Local traffic will increase as development occurs according to the

increased traffic resulting from implementation of the General Plan. However, due to regional through traffic over which the City
Carisbad has no juridicticanal control, traffic at several intersections in the CIty will exceed acceptable levels by buildout. Planned
intersection improvements will not fully mitigate the cumulative impact of 2010 traffic volumes. Parking deficiencies in the Village

POPULATION/HOUSING
Potential Environmental Impact
Implementation of the updated General Plan will result in a substantial increase in population and the demand for housing will
subsequently increase. The Land Use Element retains the present predominance of single-family residential uses. While the rent o
single-family homes is generally more expensive than the rent for multi-family homes, the Land Use and Housing Elements of the C
Plan contain programs to ensure adequate amounts of affordable housing to meet the needs of local employees. The Jobs-to-Housi
Balance in Carlsbad will be improved by the implementation of the General Plan.
Mitigation Measures
1. Encourage the provision of low and moderate income dwelling units to meet the objectives of the City's Housing Element. (L; Use Element, Residential, C.l.)
Require residential development to achieve the minimum density stipulated under the appropriate General Plan designation un
approved by a General Plan amendment. (Land Use Element, Residential, C.2.)

HEALTH, SAFETY, AND NUISANCE FACTORS
Human Health and Hazardous Materials
Potential Environmental Impact
The General Plan establishes residential development in areas that are presently or have been used for agricultural production. Che
residue may exist in soil and affect the health of future residents. Planned residential neighborhoods may be adjacent to ongoing
agricultural operations and public health may be affected by continual use of agricultural chemicals.
Mitigation Measures
1. The Land Use Element shall be modified to incorporate the following mitigation measures:
a. Prior to the approval of discretionary permits within an existing or former agricultural area in Carlsbad, a detailed soils tc
and analysis report shall be prepared by a registered soils engineer, and submitted to City and County Health Departmen
review and approval. This report shall evaluate the potential for soil contamination due to historic use, handling, or stora
agricultural chemicals restricted by the San Diego County Department of Health Services. The report shall also identify d
of possible mitigation measures to remediate any significant public health impacts if hazardous chemical are detected at
concentrations in the soil which would have a significantly adverse effect on human health.
If use of agricultural chemicals within an existing agricultural operation have the potential to adversely impact a proposed
residential development on an adjacent parcel, mitigation measures including, but not limited to, physical barriers and or
separation between the uses should be considered.
b.
Impact After Mitigation
With implementation of the General Plan programs and policies identified above, impacts related to hazardous materials will be rec
to less than significant.
Light and Glare
Potential Environmental Impact
Light emission and glare reflectance will increase as the result of additional vehicle traffic, construction of new roads with required
lights, and the dcvclopment of additional park facilities with sports field lighting. The construction of new non-residential developa
with lighted parking lots will also in- the amount of light and glare in the City.
Mitigation Measures
1. Ensure that the review of future projects places a high priority on the compatibility of adjacent land uses along the interface (
different density categories. Special attention should be given to buffering and transitional methods, especially, when reviewin

Solid Waste
Impact After Mitigation
As development pmxeds according to the General Plan, the amount of solid waste generated by the City will increase. At buildou
approximately 163,922 tons per day will be generated which is a 99 percent increase. If the Source Reduction and Recycling Elemei
(SRRE) is fully implemented. solid waste generation will be reduced by 50 percent by 2OOO. Because landfill space is limited in San
County, the potential impact from increased solid waste generation is potentially significant.
Mitigation Measures
1. Implement the policies of the Regional Growth Management Strategy, when the program is adopted by the City. (Land Use
Element. Special Planning Considerations - Regional Issues C.l.)
Cooperate with other jurisdictions to ensure the timely provision of solid waste management and sewage disposal capacity. (La

3.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION 1 3.1 - The Proiect
The proposed project analyzed in the Master EIR consists of a comprehensive update of the City
Carlsbad General Plan. State law requires the General Plan to address issues influencing land u
decisions, circulation, housing, conservation of natural resources, preservation of open space, the noi
environment, and the protection of public safety. These issues are addressed in the seven mandatc
General Plan elements required by State law (California Government Code, Section 65300 et. seq
Two of these elements have been combined in one element, Open Space and Conservation. Optior
elements have been prepared by the City to address other important issues. The following I
identifies the mandatory elements and the optional elements of the Carlsbad General Plan:
MANDATORY ELEMENTS OPTIONAL ELEMENTS
Land Use Parks and Recreation
Circulation Arts
Open Space and Conservation I Noise
Safety I Housing
The General Plan is to be used as a guide for the City's future growth and each element addresses t
City's philosophy and approach toward that particular component of City development. The Gene
Plan establishes the maximum level of development that can occur within the City. This Master E
therefore, analyzes the environmental effect of maximum development scenario (or "buildout") of t
General Plan. The maximum development scenario consists of the construction of the greatest squ:
footage and number of dwelling units allowed by the General Plan for residential and non-residenl
land uses, respectively. The maximum development scenario also identifies the maximum populati
expected to inhabit the City.
The impact assessment in this Master EIR assumes that maximum buildout will occur at 2010. TI
maximum development scenario is used in the analysis to avoid underestimation of long-term impac
The environmental impact analysis in this document is based on change between developmf
conditions existing in 1990 and those projected for the maximum development scenario in 201
Many of the technical reports employed in this Master EIR rely on 1990 environmental conditions a
this base year is consequently used throughout the Master EIR to provide a consistent analysis. Acti
buildout of the Genleral Plan, however, will most likely not occur until after 2010 due to regioi
economic conditions,. As a result, the actual development and associated environmental impacts
201 0 will most likely be less severe than the environmental impacts identified in this Master EIR.

The Carlsbad General Plan applies to areas within the City limits which encompass approximately 4
square miles as shovvn on Map 3.2-2: City of Carlsbad. All land within the State-approved "sphr of influence," including all unincorporated "county islands", have been annexed into the City. A!
result, the Carlsbad incorporated area is not expected to expand in the future and growth will occ
within the current boundaries. The City contains three Uagoons, extensive agricultural lands, and la1
tracts of undeveloped land.
3.3 Background
The City of Carlsbad incorporated in 1952 and adopted its first General Plan in 1965. In 1975, 1
General Plan was revised pursuant to new State requirements and several optional elements WE
added to address other City issues. Since its adoption, several General Plan elements have be
revised and amended. In 1985, the Circulation, Housing, and Land Use Elements were updated a
the Arts and Historic Preservation Elements were added. Recent changes include revisions to the Par
and Recreation, Housing, and Open Space and Conservation Elements. The City has elected to upd:
the entire General Plan to address the changing conditions, circumstances, and policies within the C
of Carlsbad and the San Diego region. The updated General Plan contains the most current technic
information and is consistent with all applicable State legislation. I 3.4 Project Obiectives
The objective of the General Plan is to establish definitive guidelines and policies which will allow 1
orderly, efficient, andl sustained growth in the City of Carlsbad. Through implementation of these go,
and policies, the City will work toward providing a pleasant living and working environment for C
residents and workers, while conserving and maintaining the natural physical environment to t
greatest degree possible.
3.5 Project Characteristics m 3.5.1 -- Vision
The General Plan contains a vision for the City and the vision guides the General Plan goals ai
objectives. The vision constitutes aspirations and values for the City's ultimate buildout as well
performance standards by which to measure the City's progress. The vision for the City is summariz
below.
0 A City which provides a balanced variety of land uses for living, business, employmer
recreation, and open space.
A City which offers safe, attractive residential areas with a wide range of housing typt
styles, and price levels in a variety of locations.
A City which balances the diverse living, playing, and working needs and services of the fo
sub-communities within the City.
A City which provides a diversified, comprehensive park system that offers a wide variety
recreational activities and park facilities.
A City where travel is safe and easily accommodated whether it be by mass transit, in i
automobile, on a bicycle, or as a pedestrian.

The updated Carlsbad General Plan consists of seven mandatory elements that fulfill the State I
related to city planning and two optional elements. The General Plan elements provide the neces:
link between the Ciity vision and the long-term realization of the vision. The elements contain gc
policies, plans, andl programs for their implementation. The implementation programs for indivi
elements also serve to mitigate anticipated environmental impacts.
In terms of guiding physical development of the City, the General Plan elements of most significa
are the Land Use arid Circulation Elements. These elements will guide the City's physical growth I
2010. Other elerrients of the Plan contain specific provisions for the general health, safety,
welfare of residents and for the conservation of natural resources as the City continues to deve
More specifically, the Land Use Element establishes an appropriate distribution and intensity of 1
uses and is created to maintain residential densities within desired ranges. It also permits developrr
and intensification of office, commercial, and industrial uses in specific areas of the City wt
infrastructure and surrounding uses are designed to accommodate these uses. Table 3.:

The Noise Element i:j intended to set forth policies to minimize noise levels and protect people frc
unwanted and unhealthy noise. The element establishes noise and land use compatibility standai
and guidelines for incorporating noise barriers and mitigation measures into development project desi(
The Public Safety Element identifies natural and man-made hazards which may pose a potential thrf to the general safety and welfare of City residents and businesses. The element requires that put
safety be considered in the planning and decision-making process to reduce the risk of injury, loss
life, and propew damage associated with the identified hazards. The major areas of concern foc
on emergency services (fire protection, police, medical), fire, flood, geologic hazards, and hazardc
waste management.
The Housing Element is intended to provide residents and public officials of Carlsbad with informat
about community housing needs and to develop an integrated set of goals, policies, and programs
assist the community in meeting those needs. State law requires that Housing Elements be upda
every five years; the Carlsbad Housing Element was conditionally approved by the State of Califor Department of Housing and Community Development in June 1992 and subsequently certified on h,
19, 1993.
The two optional element in the updated General Plan are the Arts Element and the Parks i Recreation Element. The Arts Element recognizes that the arts contribute to the cultural and aesthc
environment of the City and that the City should create a climate that encourages artistic developme
The Parks and Recreation Element identifies the methods that will be used to plan, develop, i
provide quality active and passive park facilities and recreational programs. The element ensures t
Carlsbad residents, tourists, and employees are afforded enjoyable leisure experiences.
3.5.3 - Growth Manaaement Plan
Public facilities and services must be expanded and extended as new development occurs within
City to maintain the quality of life for residents. To ensure that adequate public facilities and servi
are guaranteed at all1 times as growth occurs, the City developed a Growth Management Plan wl-
was ratified by the City voters in November 1986. The Growth Management Plan establis
performance standards for eleven public facilities (city administration, library, wastewater treatmt
parks, drainage, circulation, fire, open space, schools, sewer collection, and water distributic
Performance standards must be met for these facilities before development can occur in an area.
The Growth Management Plan is implemented by the Citywide Facilities and Improvements Plan, LC
Facilities Management Plan, and individual project compliance. The Citywide Facilities
Improvements Plan estimates the number of dwelling units that could occur at buildout of the City
these estimates are the basis of the City’s Capital Improvement Plan, Growth Management Plan,
public facilities plans. To ensure adequate provision of public facilities and services, the estim2
dwelling units cannot be exceeded. The maximum number of dwelling units which may be construc
or approved after INovember 1986 is 5,844 in the Northwest Quadrant, 6,166 in the North1
Quadrant, 10,667 in the Southeast Quadrant, and 10,801 in the Southwest Quadrant. The limitati on new dwelling units were ratified by City voters in November 1986.
The Land Use Element of the updated General Plan incorporates the limitations on new dwelling u
established by the Citywide Facilities and Improvements Plan. The number of new dwelling u
allowed by the Land Use Element is somewhat less than the maximum number of units allowed by
Growth Management Plan due to recognized environmental constraints. As a result, implementa
of the existing faciRities master plans will provide sufficient levels of public facilities and service
ensure the quality of life for Carlsbad residents.

3.5.4 Coastal Zone Proarams
A large portion of the City (approximately one-third] lies within the California Coastal Zone, and is
therefore subject to requirements of the California Coastal Act of 1976. The purpose of the California
Coastal Act is to protect the natural and scenic qualities of the California Coastal Zone by implementing
long-range plans. The Coastal Act requires that individual jurisdictions adopt Local Coastal Programs
(LCPs) to implement the Coastal Act at the local level.
The City's Coastal Zone is divided into six segments and each segment is regulated by separate LCPs
(Map 3.5-2: Local Coastal Program Boundaries). Almost all development within the Coastal Zone
requires a Coastal Development Permit (CDP) in addition to other pertinent permits or entitlements.
Coastal Development Permits are issued by the Coastal Commission unless the local jurisdiction has
prepared an LCP that has been certified by the Coastal Commission and has been given authority to
issue CDPs.
Although the City has adopted LCPs for all of its segments of the Coastal Zone, only the LCP for the
Village Redevelopment Segment has been certified by the Coastal Commission and the City can issue
CDPs therein. The City is actively pursuing certification of the LCPs prepared for the other segments
to gain the authority to issue CDPs throughout its Coastal Zone.
The planned land uses established in the Land Use Element reflect the land uses established in the
LCPs for the six segments of the Coastal Zone.

4.0 E N'V I RO N M E N TAL SETTING
The City of Carlsbad comprises approximately 42 square miles (26,880 acres) and is located along
northwestern coast of San Diego County, approximately 30 miles north of downtown San Diego
is bordered to the north by the City of Oceanside; to the south by the City of Encinitas; to the eas
the Cities of San Marcos, Vista and the County of San Diego; and to the west by the Pacific Oct
The City extends approximately 4.5 miles (6 km) from east to west and about 7.0 miles (9 km) fi
north to south. Elevations range from sea level along the coast to approximately 960 feet (280 rr
the highest point along the southeastern boundary of the City.
Major transportation routes serving the City of Carlsbad include Interstate 5 and State Route
Carlsbad Boulevard which travels northhouth along the Pacific coast; Rancho Santa Fe Road wl
traverses north/south along the eastern boundary of the City; El Camino Real which travels northkc
through the center of the City; and Palomar Airport Road which traverses east/west through the ce
of the City.
The coastal portion of the City is characterized by cobblestone and sand beaches adjacent to sl
coastal bluffs, as well as one freshwater lagoon (Buena Vista) and two saltwater lagoons (A
Hedionda and Batiquitos). Buena Vista, at the northern border of the City, is fed by Buena Vista Crl
a local drainage that forms much of the border between the cities of Oceanside and Carlsbad.
watershed of Aqua Hedionda Lagoon includes a drainage that extends from Lake Calavera in
northeastern corner of Carlsbad. Batiquitos Lagoon lies along the southern boundary of the City
extends inland from the coast to near El Camino Real, where it receives runoff from slopes on the nl
side of the lagoon and a drainage from the south. The lagoons provide habitat for a variety of resic
and migratory bird species.
The coastal bluffs of the City rise to a level marine terrace that stretches inland to gently rolling t
East of Interstate 5 the topography of the City is characterized by rolling foothills containing area
coastal sage scrub, chaparral, and grassland habitats. The hills are dissected by intermittent strc
valleys containing riparian scrub, sycamore, eucalyptus, and oak woodland habitat, and three coi
lagoon systems. The lagoons all contain extensive areas of wetland habitat, including saltwater
freshwater marshes. The open space areas of the City support a variety of sensitive plant and an
species. Over 300 species of plants, 200 species of birds, 25 species of reptiles and amphibians
species of mammalls, 44 species of fish, 45 species of butterflies, and several thousand specie
terrestrial and aquatic invertebrates retain populations within the City. Urban development has resu
in degradation and loss of significant tracts of native habitats. Native communities associated \
this coastal area have been disrupted by agriculture, and abuses of active recreation and off-I
vehicle use. In addition, encampments of migrant workers and homeless people have degraded na
habitat, particularly in the riparian areas.
The City has been a valuable agricultural area for many years, and has experienced significant UI
growth over the past 40 years. Carlsbad has a combination of industrial, commercial and resider
development, inclulding a redevelopment area, a large regional shopping center (1 million-plus sq.
an internationally rioted resort (La Costa), an auto-retail center (with over 20 dealerships), a Ii
industrial park areal (2,00O+-acre industrial corridor with over 4 million sq. ft. of light and ger
industrial uses), and a general aviation airport. The older part of the City, referred to as the Vi11

5.1 SOILS and GEOLOGY
5.1 .I
During the Jurassic Period (one hundred and fifty million years ago) San Diego County, includi
Carlsbad, was part of a volcanic island arc lying just west of what is now central Mexico. By t
Miocene epoch, Southern California began to emerge as a series of mountains and valleys. Grani
and metavolcanic rock were exposed to the east and rapidly thickening sections of Tertiary-aged stri
were being upturned, compressed and folded. By about the Pleistocene epoch, numerous underwa
terraces had been cut into the sedimentary rocks along Carlsbad’s coastline. The lowering of sea le
caused erosion of the hills in the eastern highlands and the coastal plain, resulting in the curn
topography. This origoing erosional process has created the alluvial and colluvial deposits which ,
found in the valley and canyon bottoms of Carlsbad (W-4).
Topography
The City can be divided into three distinct topographic areas: the beach, terrace, and rolling hills. 7
beach comprises less than one percent of the City, the terrace about thirty percent of the City, i
approximately seventy percent of the City consists of rolling hills. The beach is very narrow wit1
width generally not exceeding 500 feet. Approximately a third of the coastal boundary, frc
Batiquitos Lagoon to Palomar Airport Road, is sea cliffs which range from forty to sixty feet high. 7
terrace gently and uiniformly declines in a westerly direction. The maximum elevation ranges frc
about 40 feet in the west, to about 1000 feet in the east. The terrace is cut by the channels of fl
west-draining streams, three of which empty into lagoons - Batiquitos Lagoon, Agua Hedionda Lagoc
and Buena Vista Lagoon. A fifth west-draining stream does not cut the terrace, but empties into c
of the lagoons. In the area of rolling hills, elevations range from about 100 feet to about 1,000 fe
but eighty percent of the area is less than 500 feet in elevation (R-1). Areas of steep slopes
depicted on Map 5.1-1 : Carlsbad Slope Analysis.
Soils
The U.S. Soil Conservation Service (SCS) has divided the San Diego soil survey area into four mi
physiographic provinces: the coastal plains, the foothills, the mountains and the desert. 1
designations reflect differences in climate, soils, topography, and land use. The City of Carlsbac
located within the Coastal Plains and Foothills provinces (R-2).
The San Diego soil survey area has been divided into approximately 70 soil series assigned to eight !
groups. The soil ancl associations groups reflect a landscape that has a distinctive pattern of soils z
is tied to the physiographic provinces (R-3). Seven soil associations occur in Carlsbad as showr
Map 5.1 -2: Carlsbad Soils Associations and described in Table 5.1 -1 : Carlsbad Soils Associatio
Soil associations are useful for developing a general idea of the soils in an area and for determining
value of an area for certain uses (such as watershed, wildlife habitat, recreational uses, agricultL
or development).

Erodibility
Erosion is a normal geologic process whereby earth materials are loosened, worn away, decompo:
or dissolved, removed from one place and transported to another, sometimes many miles away fr
their source. Precipitation, running water, waves, temperature, and winds are all agents of erosi
Ordinarily, erosion proceeds so slowly that is imperceptible; but, when the natural equilibrium of
environment is changed, the rate of erosion can be greatly accelerated. This can create aesthetic
well as engineering problems, although not normally posing a threat to life or property. There are th
main erosion problems within the City. They are: (1 ) accelerated erosion in soft rock soils; (2) siltat
of the lagoons; and, (3) beach and sea cliff erosion. In Carlsbad, most of the soils have sev
erodibility limitations;, with the exception of the Salinas - Corralulas, Diablo - Altamont and Diablo -
Flores Associations whose limitations are low to moderate. I Landslides
A landslide is the movement of earth materials down a hillside or steep slope area. Landslide probk
usually occur when a hillside is oversteepened, the support at the base is moved, additional mate
or fill is loaded onto the hillside, or water saturates into the slide mass. Landslide problems are rn
prone to occur when the slope contains out-of-slope bedding or planner bedrock units that are dipp
or inclined out-of-slope. Recognition of areas susceptible to large scale movement, and appropri
planning and design can greatly reduce the possibility of damage to property and risk of life.
Carlsbad, landslide areas are mainly found on the north-facing slopes along creek channels. A 1
landslide areas occur in granitic and metavolcanic rocks where weathering has created deep soils (R

Earthquake severity is normally classified according to its magnitude or seismic intensity.
destructiveness of am earthquake at a particular location is commonly reported using a seismic inten

Modified Mercalli Scale as presented in Table 5.1-2. This scale has 12 levels of damage, the hi(
the number, the greater the damage. An earthquake has only one magnitude but may have sev
seismic intensities that generally decrease with distance from the source.

FINAL MASTER
Environmental JmRact ReRort
Seismic effects are classified as primary and secondary. The primary effect is ground rupture, also
called surface faulting and ground motion. Secondary effects are the results of ground motion during
an earthquake. Those relevant in the City of Carlsbad are liquefaction, lurch cracking, lateral
spreading, local subsidence, landslides, structural damage due to ground vibration, seiche, tsunami,
and regional subsidence and uplift.
Primary Effects
Primary effects are caused by movement along an active fault. These movements can be sudden and
severe as in an earthquake, or slow and imperceptible as in fault creep. Movement on a fault can be
horizontal, vertical, or a combination of both. The closest known active fault, as indicated on Map 5.1 -
3, is the Rose Canyon Fault Zone located two to three miles offshore to the west of Carlsbad.
Geologists have estimated that the maximum earthquake magnitude that is likely to occur in a 1 OO-year
period on the Rose Canyon Fault is 6.9 on the Richter scale. This size earthquake is considered a
moderate earthquake. Using the Richter magnitude, the distance from the fault and other factors,
bedrock acceleration values can be determined for seismic design of structures. A seismic ground
shaking map representing the most likely significant ground shaking values within the City vs prepared
as shown on Map 5.1-5: Seismically Induced Ground Shaking Map (R-3). Ground rupture is not
considered a hazard in Carlsbad.
Secondary Effects
Secondary effects pertinent to the study area are liquefaction, lurch cracking, lateral spreading, local
subsidence of soils, landslides, vibrational damage, seiche, tsunami and regional subsidence and uplift.
The following is a discussion of the potentials for secondary effects likely to occur during an
earthquake in the City of Carlsbad (R-1 1.
Tsunamis and Seiche
A tsunami is a sea wave generated by a submarine earthquake, landslide or volcanic eruption. A seiche
is a series of wave oscillations in a body of water and can be compared to the waves generated in a
pan of water when it is rocked. Although tsunamis have been recorded along the southern California
coastline, they occurred within the normal tidal range and were probably not noticed by the casual
observer. Seiches could occur in the Carlsbad lagoons, although they probably would not affect areas
5 to 10 feet above the water level (R-3).
Liquefaction
Soil liquefaction is defined as the transformation of a granular material from a solid into a liquefied state
as a consequence of increased pore-water pressures. It is caused by seismic vibration of fine sand or
silt which is saturated with water. There are limited areas in the City which are considered potentially
subject to liquefaction (R-1). They are the alluvial areas west of El Camino Real, the areas in and
around the lagoons, and the areas along the beaches.

Environmental Impact ReDort
Lurch Cracking
Lurch cracking is the development of all types and sizes of fissures in the ground due to ground motion
during an earthquake. The alluvial areas west of El Camino Real, the areas in and around the lagoons,
and the areas along the beaches are considered potentially subject to lurch cracking (R-1).
Lateraf Spreading
Lateral spreading is the movement of loose soils over low-angle slopes into open areas during an
earthquake. The alluvial areas west of El Camino Real, the areas in and around the lagoons, and the
areas along the beaches are subject to lateral spreading (R-I 1.
Local Subsidence
Local subsidence can occur during an earthquake when water is driven out of saturated soils causing
them to become more compact. The alluvial areas west of El Camino Real, the areas in and around
the lagoons, and the areas along the beaches are considered potentially subject to subsidence (R-1).
Landslides
Landslides can result from ground shaking during an earthquake. Failures are common in old landslides
and oversteepened slopes such as roadcuts, building sites, seacliffs and stream-cut canyons.
Landslides are mainly found along north-facing slopes along creek channels and in granite and
metavolcanic rocks where weathering has created deep soils. With the technology available today,
most landslides can be mitigated to the point where the chances of failure are very small (R-3).
S truc tura f Damage
Structural damage due to ground vibration is caused by the transmission of earthquake vibrations from
the ground into the structures. The variables which determine the extent of damage are (1) the
characteristics of the underlying soils and/or rocks; (2) the design of the structure; (3) the quality of
materials and workmanship used in construction; (4) the location of the epicenter and magnitude of
the earthquake; and, (5) the duration and intensity of ground shaking. The potential for structural
damage due to ground vibration in the City of Carlsbad is greatest in areas underlain by deep, soft,
saturated alluvial soils and least in areas ob hard bedrock (R-1).
Regional Subsidence and Uplift
Regional subsidence and uplift during an earthquake are caused by differential vertical movement along
an active fault. This occurs over large areas, and the amount of subsidence or uplift is usually on the
order of a few inches to a few feet. It is generally not possible to assess the hazard to individual
locations; however, the City can be expected to respond as a unit. Therefore, this phenomenon is not
considered to be a hazard in the City of Carlsbad (R-1).

Seismic Hazards
Earthquake hazards are unavoidable in southern California. Property damage, personal injury, and I
of life may result from earthquake events. Because implementation of the updated General Plan
result in more people residing in Carlsbad, more people and property will be exposed to the poten
seismic hazards. Seismically induced liquefaction, lurch cracking, lateral spreading, local subside1
and landslides have a potential to occur within limited areas of the City (R-I). Proper construct
according to the City's Grading Ordinance, Hillside Development Ordinance, and building codes
substantially reduce structural damage and injury from ground shaking.
Steep Slopes
Steep slopes present a constraint to development throughout the City. According to the General PI
areas of the City with slopes in excess of 40 percent are considered undevelopable, and areas
slopes between 25 and 40 percent are limited to 50 percent of the density otherwise permitted on
property. Lower derisity development in areas with steep slopes will reduce hazards caused by builc
in such areas. Any development in steep slope areas must undergo the Hillside Development Per
review and approval process which requires remedial measures to be taken by the applicant to mitig
hazards presented by the steep slopes.
Landslides
Landslides could be a destructive geotechnical hazard in Carlsbad. Small-scale slides and slougt
can be seen in most road cuts including those of improved roads in the eastern portion of the Ci
Landslides are mainly found along north-facing slopes along creek channels. A few landslide areas
in granite and metavolcanic rocks where weathering has created deep soils (R-I 1. Recognition of ar
susceptible to large scale movement, coupled with appropriate planning and design, can greatly red
the possibility of damage to property and risk of life due to landslides.
Soils
Further development of the City may be constrained by soils with high clay content. The clay lai
have a moderate to high shrink-swell potential and may present constraints to underground utility lir
Structural foundations can be protected from subsurface shrink-swell behavior by remedial grac
techniques. Approximately 40 percent of the City is currently undeveloped. Given the general
types of the area and utilizing conventional engineering methods, proper design and construc
procedures, the majority of this area will be developable.

Erosion and Siltation
Erosion and siltation are normal geologic processes occurring in the City of Carlsbad. Changes to the
environment caused by implementation of the General Plan update may accelerate the rate of erosion
and siltation. Engineering measures can be taken to alleviate and remedy the problems of erosion and
siltation. Investigation and evaluation of individual affected areas associated with individual
development projects are necessary to decide which measures are most appropriate in each situation.
5.1.4 Level of Sianificance
The soils and geology impacts of implementing the updated General Plan will be significant, but can
be mitigated to a level of less than significant.
5.1.5 Mitiaation Measures
The following measures are required to mitigate significant impacts related to geology and soils.

1. Require project applicant to submit evidence that structures are designed to meet ground
response characteristics of their individual site. (Public Safety Element, Geology and Seismic
Safety, C.2.)
Utilize the City's geotechnical maps as generalized guidelines for planning purposes and in
determining the type of geotechnical report to be required as well as the extent of the report.
(Public Safety Element, Geology and Seismic Safety, C.4.)
Require applicants to conduct detailed geologic and seismic investigations at sites where the
construction of critical structures and structures over four stories are under consideration.
(Public Safety Element, Geology and Seismic Safety, C.5.)
Require qualified professionals in the fields of Soil Engineering and Engineering Geology to
review grading plans and inspect areas of excavation during and after grading, and to evaluate
slope stability and other geotechnical conditions that may affect site development and public
safety. It is imperative in areas of known or suspected landslides and/or adverse geologic
conditions to ascertain slope stability before and after development. The following
determinations should be made in these cases: extent of landslide, depth-to-slide plane, soil
types and strengths, presence of clay seams and ground water conditions. (Public Safety
Element, Geology and Seismic Safety, C.7.)
Abate or modify potentially hazardous structures when loss of life is a potential factor. If the
demolition of residential structures is required, an adequate relocation program for the residents
of the structure shall be instituted. (Public Safety Element, Geology and Seismic Safety, C.10.)
Require the installation of appropriate siltation and erosion control measures on proposed

5.2 HYDROLOGY
This section focuses on identifying, locating, and describing the existing watersheds and groundw
basins within Carlsbad. Discussion and analysis focuses on natural water system conditions in
City. Reclaimed water facilities and potable water supplies are discussed in Section 5.1 2, Utilities
Public Services.
5.2.1 - Environmental Settinq
Because Carlsbad varies widely in topography, a variety of drainage conditions also exist within
City boundaries. Carlsbad is divided into four major waterways, three of which empty into lagol
Alluvial material within a system of perennial and intermittent streams have created valleys and SI
canyons to the east. In the lower basins, these streams begin to widen into flood plains suppoi
dense willows and other riparian habitats. With the exception of Encinas Canyon, each of tt
drainage basins further expands into a lagoon supporting a variety of flora and fauna.
The four distinct watersheds or drainage basins in Carlsbad, as illustrated on Map 5.2-1: Carl:
Drainage Basin Map, are Buena Vista Creek, Agua Hedionda Creek, Encinas Creek, and Batiqi
Lagoon Watershed. Listed below is a description of each watershed basin.
Buena Vista Creek
Buena Vista Creek drains an area of nineteen square miles. The drainage area is long and narron
extends from the San Marcos Mountains at 1,671 feet above sea level to the Pacific Ocean nine n
downstream. Runoff from several tributaries quickly combine into one main improved channel wi
the City of Vista. Flow is generally in a southwest direction through the City of Vista. As it le:
the City of Vista, flow becomes more westward and enters Buena Vista Lagoon approximately
miles east of the ocean (R-4). Stream flow eventually enters the Pacific Ocean after being tempor
delayed by the colnsiderable storage volume of the lagoon. A weir structure at the ocean 01
controls discharge (R-6). The stream gradients run from 68 feet per mile in the upper reaches tc
feet per mile in the lower reaches of the basin. The average gradient within the reach studied i!
feet per mile.
Agua Hedionda Creek
Agua Hedionda Creek and a major tributary, Buena Creek, drain an area of twenty-nine square mi
Agua Hedionda Creek originates in the hills south of San Marcos Mountains, flows in a gen
southwest direction, and confluences with Buena Creek about three miles downstream. Buena Crc
with a drainage area of about six square miles, originates in the San Marcos Mountains and flc
about five miles in a southerly direction before it confluences with Agua Hedionda Creek. The strt
gradient of Buena Creek through the study reach is about 51 feet per mile. From the confluence \
Buena Creek, Agua Hedionda Creek flows generally westward about six miles and enters A
Hedionda Lagoon. It then discharges into the Pacific Ocean two miles further downstream.
The stream gradients along Agua Hedionda Creek range from about 43 feet per mile in the ul
reaches of the study area to about 35 feet per mile in the lower reaches approaching the laga
There is an extremely steep canyon reach between mile 5.2 and mile 6.0 along Agua Hedionda Cr
which is called Los Monos Canyon. Stream gradients in this reach average 180 feet per mile.

Encinas Creek
Encinas Creek drains an area of 3.9 square miles. This basin originates 3,000 feet east of El Car
Real within the City and drains westerly approximately 22,000 feet to the Pacific Ocean. The drair
course generally parallels Palomar Airport Road along an alignment just south of this roadway.
entire drainage area ranges in elevation from sea level to slightly over 440 feet above sea level.
Batiquitos Lagoon Watershed
The Batiquitos Lagoon Watershed is divided into two major drainage basins known as the San Mal
Creek watershed and the Encinitas Creek watershed. San Marcos Creek originates in the San Mal
Mountains and empties into Batiquitos Lagoon about 2.6 miles east of the Pacific Ocean. Encin
Creek, a major tributary, originates in the mountains southwest of San Marcos and joins San Mal
Creek at the upstream end of Batiquitos Lagoon. The entire drainage area totals 46 square miles
ranges in elevation from sea level to slightly over 1700 feet in the Merriam Mountain range.
The stream gradient ranges from an average of ten feet per mile just before reaching the shorelin
about 600 feet per mile in headwaters. San Marcos Creek has a small and indistinct channel upstr
from Lake San Marcos. Below that point, the channel is well-defined, steep, and rocky througl
Costa after which it becomes small and not well defined again to Batiquitos Lagoon. The flood p
is broad upstream again from Lake San Marcos. From Lake San Marcos Dam to the La Cc
Development, there is virtually no flood plain due to the steep well-defined channel. Through tht
Costa development to the Batiquitos Lagoon, the flood plain is again broad. During large floods, flc
exceed the channel capacity and inundate parts of the broad flood plain. Batiquitos Lagoon exte
from the downstream limit of San Marcos Creek, namely the Pacific Ocean, as far as El Camino R
some 2.6 miles upstream. It comprises about 600 acres of area and would provide consider;
storage during large floods (R-4).
Groundwater
The City is not located in a groundwater basin. However, groundwater basins do occur througt
the county as illustrated on Map 5.2-2: Groundwater Basins (R-2). Many of these groundwater ba
play an important role in meeting local water demands. Over 90 percent of natural local supplie
Southern California are produced from groundwater basins. These basins are supplied naturally
precipitation and stream runoff percolating into the soil. Recharge of groundwater occurs from hur
intervention as well. When groundwater is low, some basins are recharged by imported water tc
stored for future use. When supplies are short, the groundwater can be pumped back into surf
reservoirs.
Although Carlsbad has little potential for obtaining groundwater supplies, the Carlsbad Municipal Wi
District maintains riights to the San Luis Rey (Mission) River Basin in Oceanside. Studies will nee(
be completed in order to determine the water qualiuy of the basin and the feasibility of provic
groundwater from the basin to Carlsbad (R-3) for domestic use.

Water Quality and Sedimentation
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency determined that pollutants in runoff from urban areas
construction sites are a leading cause of water quality impairment. Forty to eighty percen
pollutants currently found in surface waters are a result of urban runoff. The different pollut<
reaching the City's water bodies have varying affects. Increased nutrient loads cause algal blo
which decrease amounts of dissolved oxygen. Concentrations of metals, such as cadmium, cop
and lead, often find their way into the food chain and impose detrimental health effects to wildlife
4). Another source of pollution in Carlsbad comes from accidental sewage spills, which often re
in bacteria levels temporarily exceeding safe health standards along the shoreline. Such sl:
however, are discovered early due to routine inspections and corrected immediately. The spills re
in only short term environmental effects and rapidly dissipate to acceptable safety levels after reacl
the ocean.
Currently, pollutants discharged through storm water are largely uncontrolled in the C
Implementation of the City's 1993 Storm Water Quality Management Plan, which has not yet b
administered, will eliminate and/or reduce storm water pollutants from entering the City's sur
waters. Today, only "point" source discharges, such as industrial outfall pipes, are adequa
regulated. Illegal sewage connections, waste dumpings, and "non-point" source pollutants (
fertilizers, pesticides, grease, oils, automotive and power plant soot, trash, human and an
excrement) are not adequately regulated, and therefore, are suspect to degrading the water qualitl
all three lagoons. The lagoons are in violation of the water quality objectives of the Water Quality
of 1987. Soil erosion and sedimentation caused by construction activities and increased surface rui
have also degraded the quality of the City's drainage basins. Because of manmade weirs, Batiqu
and Buena Vista Lagoon are isolated from the continuous flushing of the tides (R-5,61. These lago
are collecting ponds for upstream sedimentation and pollutants.
Flood Plains
Flooding primarily occurs during the winter when heavy rains are more frequent and ocean waves
highest. According to the 1987 National Flood Insurance Program Maps, 1 OO-year flood plains
found primarily along the ocean shoreline and the creek channels and lagoons of each of the .
drainage basins. The one percent annual chance (1 OO-year) flood has been adopted by the Fed.
Emergency Management Agency as the base flood for flood plain management purposes. Land u
in flood plains are managed and regulated under Chapter 21,110 of the City's Zoning Ordinance v
the intent to minimize the effects flood hazards impose on the public health, safety, and genl
welfare. The National Flood Insurance Program Maps are available at the City of Carlsbad Planr
Department. The 1 OO-year flood plain boundaries are illustrated on Map 5.2-3: 1 OO-Year Flood Pla

Implementation of the updated General Plan could result in the development of 25,389 additic
dwelling units by the year 201 0 bringing the projected total number of dwelling units to 52,638. plan also allows 45,584,841 additional square feet of non-residential floor area to be constructel
buildout. A majority of the non-residential buildings will occur in the center of the city surrounding
'
I McClellan-Palomar Airport.
As development occurs in the City, impervious surfaces will increase from the placement of ro(
parking lots and builldings. These facilities will reduce xhe amount of water absorption into the grot
and will increase direct runoff into the City's creeks and lagoons. This runoff will contain additic
pesticides, oil, grease, and other toxic substances and the water quality of surface water wil
degraded.
The surface waters receive the highest concentrations of pollutants during heavy rainfalls proceel
long periods of drought. Because heavy rainfall is infrequent, however, urban runoff does not pre.
an ongoing source of non-point pollution along Carlsbad's shoreline. The ocean receives th
pollutants by either direct runoff or streamllagoon outlets. The ocean also receives 12 million gall
per day of treated effluent from the City of Oceanside and 20 million gallons per day from the Enc
Wastewater Treatment Plant. The wastewater from both plants receive secondary treatment and
diluted to safe environmental levels (R-8).
All four drainage basins will be impacted by the updated General Plan land uses. Buena Vista Cr
will continue to receive pollutants from existing high density commercial development. Future I
uses abutting the basin include Open Space and Residential Low-Medium. Future development
probably add additional pollutants and sediments into the lagoon.
Future development within the Agua Hedionda Creek basin will lie primarily within low to medii
density residential land use areas. Such land uses could have significant impacts once developed.
tidal flushing of the lagoon should help eliminate an excessive accumulation of pollutants.
The Encinas Creek basin could also be impacted by non-point source pollutants from fu
development. Future development includes Planned Industrial north of the creek and low to medi
density residential !south of the creek.
Batiquitos Lagoon Watershed consists primarily of low to medium density residential intermixed I
open space and commercial land uses. Much of this land is still undeveloped and impacts f
development of this land are expected. The lagoon has been subject to an accumulation of sedimei
nutrients, and other constituents due to its isolation from tidal influences. The lagoon's condii
should improve, however, once it is opened to tidal influences as part of the Batiquitos Lag1
Enhancement Plan. Dredging is expected to begin in 1994.
During grading and construction, potential for sedimentation in the creeks and lagoons increases
to the removal of vegetation and altering of natural topography. Once development of the prop1
is complete and landscaping is installed, onsite erosion and sedimentation will typically decrease
increased runoff due to impervious surfaces results in the potential for downstream erosion. Beca
1 1,800 acres of developable land remain in the City, increases in sedimentation due to developn

Environmental ImDact ReDort
Excessive sedimentation in the stream beds often clogs vital storm drains and disturbs natural stream
flows, which in turn, can cause flooding in areas outside of those normally found within the boundaries
shown on the Flood Insurance Program Maps (R-4). Although significant changes are unlikely, existing
development that was once outside the floodplain, as well as undeveloped land, could be affected.
Minimal impacts from flooding are anticipated, however, because much of the floodplains in Carlsbad
are designated as Open Space and little development is located or permitted within the City's
floodplains.
Installation of future drainage facilities is assured because such facilities will be installed concurrent
with development as required by the City's Growth Management Program. There are, however,
drainage deficiencies associated with existing development, especially in the downtown area. The cost
to mitigate existing deficient facilities will be paid through a combination of drainage area fees charged
to redevelopment and remodel projects, previously collected drainage fee revenues, and other City
funding sources (R-4).
5.2.4 Level of Sisnificance
Implementation of the General Plan will result in significant impacts to hydrological resources. The
impacts can be reduced to less than significant by the implementation of mitigation measures.

5.3 AIR QUALITY I 5.3.1 - Environmental Setting
Carlsbad Climate and Physical Setting
Carlsbad is locatedl along the coastal plain in northern San Diego County where the predomir
climatic influence is the Pacific Ocean. Frequent high pressure over the Pacific deflects most st
systems to the north, resulting in dry and warm summers and mild, occasionally wet winters in IT
of coastal Southerri California. Temperatures along coastal San Diego County average from the
50's during the winter to the low 70's in the summer. Almost all rainfall occurs between October
April, averaging about 10 inches annually. The average annual humidity is about 70 percent and tt
are approximately 1148 days with clear skies each year.
The coastal areas experience daily shifts in the wind direction due to the different heating rates of
land and ocean. T'he winds blow offshore at night and in the mornings, and shift onshore in
afternoon. This local wind pattern is sometimes interrupted by the regional wind pattern known as
"Santa Ana" winds, which brings clear skies and strong, hot, and dry winds from the east.
Air temperature normally decreases with increasing elevation, which allows hot air to rise. Coal
southern California experiences temperature inversion layers where the air temperature increases v
elevation. These inversion layers trap pollutants by preventing vertical dispersion. During th
conditions, pollutedl air can only be dispersed by lateral winds. When these winds blow offshore,
during Santa Ana clonditions, the skies are clear and clean throughout southern California. When
Santa Ana winds subside, the pollutants that were blown offshore from the Los Angeles area
blown onshore into San Diego County. This results in the highest levels of air pollutants in the ai
Despite the influx of pollutants for the Los Angeles area, much of the air pollution over Carlsbad I
the surrounding Saln Diego region is produced within the San Diego region. In order to monitor
control this pollution, the region has been defined as a separate "basin of air", known as the San Dil
Air Basin.
Air Quality Standards
Ambient air quality is a measure of the purity of the air. Air quality is diminished by the release
pollutants into the ,air from local and nearby sources. Air quality is enhanced by dispersion of thc
pollutants through winds and rising air. The principle pollutants of concern in coastal south
California are photochemical hydrocarbons (smog), carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxi
and suspended inhaleable particulates.
Smog is measured and expressed as ozone and is the primary air quality concern in the coastal are
The principal source! of smog comes from the reactive organic gases that are emitted by mobile sour1
(cars, trucks, and buses). These gases react with sunlight to form smog. Carbon monoxide, nitro(
dioxide, and sulfur dioxide levels are low in the coastal, suburban areas since they are mostly produc
by severe traffic corigestion and sulfur-burning electric power generators. Suspended particulates hG
not been monitoreal as effectively as the other pollutants and the size of particulates measured c
vary. The major source of particulates are motor vehicles, however industrial activity, agricultu
grading activities, and suspended sea salt also contribute to airborne particulate levels.
FINAL MASTER
Environmental Impact ReRort
Regulatory Framework
Since the Federal Clean Air Act of 1970, a series of federal and state legislation has been enacted to
enhance the quality of air. As a result of this legislation, federal and state pollutant concentration
standards have been derived. These standards are designed to protect those people most susceptible
to respiratory stress, known as sensitive receptors. Also as a result of the legislation, air quality
management districts have been established to measure pollutant concentrations in their air basin and
monitor their conformance with federal and state standards. If an air basin does not meet the air
quality standards, the responsible air quality district must prepare an air quality plan to show how the
standards will be attained. The San Diego Air Basin is classified as a "severe" non-attainment area for
both federal and state standards for ozone (smog). The San Diego Air Basin also exceeds the state
standard for airborne particulate matter.
Management of the air quality in the San Diego Air Basin is under the authority of the San Diego Air
Pollution Control District (APCD). The APCD has prepared a 1992 revision to the Regional Air Quality
Strategy (RAQS) to comply with state and federal legislation and to attempt to address attainment of
both state and federal standards. The California Clean Air Act of 1988 requires that emissions be
reduced by five percent each year from the base year of 1987. If the five percent requirement cannot
be met, the air quality management district must implement all feasible measures to improve air quality
on a practical schedule. The RAQS must be revised every three years to reflect changes in regional
growth patterns, or federal mandates.
Some components of the Regional Air Quality Strategy are: 1 ) increasing the use of clean fuel motor
vehicles in fleets; 2) specific control measures for stationary sources of air pollution (such as electric
power generation) and areawide sources (such as barbecue lighter fluid); and 3) transportation control
measures (such as trip reduction programs and transportation system management).
Monitored Air Quality
Ambient air quality is recorded by the APCD at several air monitoring stations within the San Diego Air
Basin. The closest monitoring station to the City of Carlsbad is the Oceanside station, located on the
coast five miles north of the City. Table 5.3-1 : Number of Days Federal and State Emission Standards
Exceeded at Oceanside Monitoring Station, shows the number of days that federal and state emission
standards were exceeded annually at the Oceanside station between 1987 and 1991. Ozone levels have exceeded both the federal and state standards and suspended particulates 10 microns or smaller
in size (PM-10) levels have exceeded the state standards.
Health Effects
While healthy people can occasionally tolerate poor air quality, polluted air can have severe effects on
people susceptible to respiratory distress. These sensitive receptors include people suffering from
asthma or other respiratory conditions, the very young and elderly, and people engaged in heavy labor
or exercise. Table 5.3-2: Air Pollution Effects, summarizes the health problems and other ill effects
that result from air pollution. Since the state and federal air quality standards are based upon air pollution tolerance of sensitive receptors, health impacts of air pollution can be evaluated by tabulating the number of days that the standards were exceeded.

5.3.3 Environmental lmoact
Since the San Diego Air Basin is a "non-attainment basin", any additional air emissions could be
considered significant; therefore, continued development to buildout as proposed in the updated General Plan will have impacts on the air quality of the region. To calculate these impacts, the energy
consumption and vehicle miles traveled for 1990 and buildout conditions are compared. The only
pollution sources evaluated are those that are subject to change due to development under the General Plan. Point sources such as the SDG&E Encina power plant and the Encina Wastewater Treatment
facility have not been considered because their emissions are under control of the Air Pollution Control
District and not under the purview of this General Plan.
Table 5.3-3: 1990 Energy Consumption and Table 5.3-4: 201 0 Buildout Energy Consumption, show
the estimated energy consumption and vehicle miles traveled under the 1990 and buildout conditions.
Buildout of the updated General Plan is assumed to occur by 201 0. The total dwelling units and square
footage of non-residential uses is derived from data monitored through the City's Growth Management
Program. The buildout estimates approximate the maximum potential development to evaluate a
worst-case scenario for environmental impacts. Commercial uses are grouped by their respective
traffic generation rates. The traffic generation rates are calculated by calibrating those used by San
Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) with existing traffic counts. The energy usage factors
are taken from the South Coast Air Quality Management District.
Table 5.3-5: Difference in Emissions from Existing to Buildout, shows the net changes in total
emissions for the five principle air pollutants from 1990 to buildout conditions. The emissions due to
mobile sources are based upon the California Composite Moving Exhaust Emission Rates, derived by
the California Air Resources Board. The emissions due to energy consumption are from the South
Coast Air Quality Management District. One of the assumptions of the estimated emissions is the
improvement in automobile efficiency between now and the year 201 0, thereby lessening the amount
of air pollution emitted into the air.
Despite improved automobile efficiency, buildout of the updated General Pian will increase sulfur oxides
by 71.9 percent, nitrogen oxides by 17.3 percent, and suspended particulates by 43.8 percent.
Reactive organic gas emissions and carbon monoxide emissions will decrease by 42.4 and 13.7
percent, respectively, due to increased automobile efficiency.
As traffic volumes increase, the opportunities for congested intersections also increases. A large
volume of traffic idling at a congested intersection causes a "hot spot" of carbon monoxide emissions.
These "hot spots" are significant sources of carbon monoxide in the congested areas of San Diego and

5.4.1 - Environmental Settinq
The information contained within this section of the EIR was obtained from the Biological Resou
in Support of the City of Carlsbad Habitat Management Plan, prepared by Michael Brand
Associates, August 1992. This document has been included as Appendix D.
General Topography and Landscape Features
The City of Carlsbad is situated along the Pacific Coast of California, in northwestern San Di
County. The City occupies approximately 42 square miles. Elevations range from sea level along
coast to about 1,000 feet at the southeastern border of the City. The western edge of the cil
characterized by sandy beaches and three low-lying river estuaries or lagoons - Batiquitos Lag(
Agua Hedionda Lagoon, and Buena Vista Lagoon. The lagoons dominate the coastal landscapc
Carlsbad and provide habitat for a variety of resident and migratory bird species. With the excep
of some habitat that immediately borders the estuaries, native communities on the immediate CI
either have been degraded severely by human activities or completely eliminated by developm
Inland from the coast is a series of low coastal mesas and rolling foothills, which support shrublai
grasslands, and agriculture. Intervening ravines and canyons support narrow oak woodland, ripa
scrub, coastal sage scrub, and chaparral communities. Two large freshwater bodies occur wi
Carlsbad near the eastern edge of the city - Lake Calavera and Squires Dam. Both support adjac
freshwater marsh and riparian woodlands.
Geoloav and Soils_
The City of Carlsbad lies entirely within the Coastal Geomorphic Province, which occupies the wes
portion of San Diego County corresponding to the region of sedimentary surface rocks. The domir
relief of this provinlce is a series of marine terraces also known as mesas. Approximately 25 diffei
soil series are present in the City of Carlsbad, including sandy, cobbly, loamy, and clayey types,
soils associated with gabbro parent material and Santiago Peak metavolcanic formations. On
coastal terraces most of the soil series are comprised of sandy loams, clay loams, and clays. In
foothills the soils generally are well-drained sandy loams or silt loams overlaying decomposed grai or metavolcanic rock.
Plant Communities
Eight distinct native plant communities are present within the City of Carlsbad. In addition, there
three non-native habitat types. Open water and urbanized areas also account for significant ai
within Carlsbad. These native and non-native habitat types include coastal sage scrub, chapa
grassland, southern coastal saltwater marsh, coastal and valley freshwater marsh, sycamore alii
woodland, riparian scrub, oak woodland, disturbed wetland/flooding, eucalyptus woodland, distul
habitat, developed, and open water. A detailed description of each type of habitat is includec

Sensitive Biota
A large number of plant and wildlife species recognized as sensitive, rare, threatened, or endangered
by the CDFG, USFWS, CNPS, or local resource agencies have been documented in the City of
Carlsbad. Each of these species are discussed in detail in Appendix D . Table 5.4-2: Sensitive, Rare,
Threatened or Endangered Plant and Wildlife Species, depicts the current status of these species, and
Map 5.4-2: Carlsbad Sensitive Species Map, shows the recorded location of observed sensitive
species.
Sensitive Wildlife SDecies
Birds
Several species of birds recognized as threatened or endangered by state or federal agencies occur
within Carlsbad as overwintering individuals or resident populations. These include the light-footed
clapper rail, Belding's Savannah sparrow, and California least tern, all associated with coastal estuaries
and salt marsh habitats. The least Bell's vireo, restricted to riparian woodlands, and the California
gnatcatcher, occurring primarily in coastal sage scrub communities below about 1,200 feet (370 m),
also exist in Carlsbad. The latter species is fairly widespread in coastal sage scrub habitats throughout
Carlsbad (R-1 1. The California gnatcatcher is the most widespread sensitive wildlife species present
in the City. Other recognized sensitive bird species that occur in Carlsbad include the coastal cactus
wren, sage sparrow, and several species of raptors. See Map 5.4-2 for the distribution of these
species.
Reptiles and Amphibians
Sensitive reptiles documented in Carlsbad include San Diego horned lizard, orange-throated whiptail
lizard, western whiptail, and northern red diamond rattlesnake. Other sensitive reptiles likely to be
present include two-striped garter snake and southwestern pond turtle. The western spade-foot toad
has also been observed in the City. These species are recognized as federal Category 2
candidates for listing as threatened or endangered by the USFWS or as "Species of Special
Concern" by CDFG
Mammals
No mammal species recognized as threatened or endangered by the USFWS or CDFG have been
observed in the City. However, three federal Category 2 candidate species are highly likely to occur
in Carlsbad: the San Diego black-tailed jackrabbit, San Diego desert woodrat, and northwestern San
Diego pocket mouse. Category 2 species are candidates for federal listing where existing biological
information indicates that listing may be warranted but substantial biological information to support
a proposal to list as threatened or endangered is lacking. Four other mammal species recognized as
federal Category 2 candidates for listing as threatened or endangered have a remote chance of
occurring at least occasionally in Carlsbad. These include the Pacific pocket mouse, Townsend's
western big-eared bat (Plecutus tuwnsendi/l, California mastiff bat (Eumups perutis califurnicus), and
spotted bat (Euderma maculatum). The Pacific pocket mouse has been recorded near the coast in the
City of Oceanside but otherwise is extremely rare within its historic range (Ft-1). None of the bat
species have been recorded in Carlsbad, and there are relatively few suitable roosting sites for bats
within the city limits. The California mastiff bat, which has been recorded near Lake Hodges, and the
spotted bat both require rugged, rocky areas with crevices for roosting. Townsend's western big-eared

bat, on the other hand, will roost in trees and old buildings, and thus may have grei
potential to occur within the City limits. Each of the bats could occur in the city dui
foraging bouts to take advantage of insects around agriculture and wetland areas or to uti
waters at lakes, streams, or swimming pools.
In vertebrates
Four species of butterflies that are resident or potentially resident within the City of Carlsbad
recognized as federal Category 2 candidates for listing as threatened and endangered: Harbison's I
skipper, salt marsh skipper, Hermes copper, and quino checkerspot. Although only the salt m:
skipper has been documented in Carlsbad, Harbison's dun skipper and Hermes copper are highly lil
residents. Both are fairly host specific insects and usually are encountered wherever their la
foodplants occur. The larvae of Harbison's dun skipper feeds exclusively on San Diego sedge (Ci
spissa), which has lbeen observed from several oak woodland and riparian areas within the City.
larvae of Hermes copper feed on redberry (Rhamnus crocea), which is a common species througt
much of the chaparral in the City. In addition to these sensitive butterflies, the federal Categoi
candidate globose dune beetle, a resident of coastal dunes, may be present in small remnants of du
along the coastal margins of the City.
Sensitive Plant Sr)ecies
Within the City of Carlsbad, 19 species of plants recognized as regionally sensitive by the Califoi
Native Plant Society (R-5) have been detected. These species include San Diego thorn-mint, Califoi
adolphia, Del Mar rnanzanita, San Diego sagewort, thread-leaved brodiaea, Orcutt's brodiaea, w,
stemmed ceanothu!;, summer-holly, Del Mar Mesa sand aster, western dichondra (western pony fo cliff spurge, chocolate lily or mission bells, Palmer's grappling hook, San Diego marsh-elder (pow
weed), San Diego (;olden-star, spiny rush, Engelmann oak, ashy spike-moss or mesa clubmoss, l
narrow-leaved nightshade.
The most widespread sensitive plant species within the City include California adolphia and ashy sp
moss, which primarily occur in coastal sage scrub; and wart-stemmed ceanothus, summer-holly,
Del Mar manzanita, which primarily occur in southern maritime chaparral. In drainages and ripai
areas spiny rush is fairly common. Other sensitive plants encountered less frequently include $
Diego golden-star, western dichondra, Engelmann oak, San Diego sagewort, San Diego marsh-elc
San Diego thorn-mint, and thread-leaved brodiaea (R-1 1.
Environmental Resource Protection
Reaulatorv Control of Environmental Resources
There are a variety of programs to protect environmental resources in the City of Carlsbad. Thl
programs operate at all levels of government, including federal regulations such as the Endange
Species Act and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), state regulations such as the Califoi
Environmental QuaWity Act (CEQA), and City regulations such as the Carlsbad municipal code. -
applicability of these regulations to the various types of sensitive plant and wildlife habitats in Carlsk
is shown in Table 5.4-3. The shaded boxes indicate which regulations may play a role in preserv
this habitat type. 'The agencies responsible for regulating environmental resources and issuing 1
required permits include the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE), U.S. Environmental Protect
Agency (EPA), U.S Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), California Department of Fish and Ga
(CDFG), and Carlsbad Planning Department. '

ODen SDace and Conservation Resource Management Plan
The City of Carlsbad Open Space and Conservation Resource Management Plan (OSCRMP) defines
priorities for open space planning on a citywide basis and for the City's 25 Local Facilities Management
Zones (R-3). Priorities were established by considering the importance of each open space type and
the degree of protection already afforded to that open space type by existing regulations. Citywide
priorities were ranked from 1 (top) to 5 (lowest). Priorities for individual zones were ranked in terms
of five categories of action: A (primary action), B (secondary action), C (already protected), D (low
protected or not applicable), and E (administered through another program). Five primary categories
of open space were considered: (1 1 open space for preservation of natural resources; (2) open space
for managed production of resources; (3) open space for outdoor recreation; (4) open space for
aesthetic, cultural, and educational purposes; and (5) open space for public health and safety purposes.
With respect to citywide goals, the OSCRMP identifies open space for the preservation of plant, animal
life, and habitat as a top priority. This designation expresses the City's general intent to optimize
natural resource values throughout the open space system and to maximize the protection and
enhancement of wildlife and habitats within various preserves.
Green ways
One of the primary priorities of the Open Space and Conservation Resource Management Plan is
greenways. A greenway in Carlsbad may be defined as an open space connector linking nature
preserves, cultural features, larger areas of open space, parks, and historic sites to each other, and
with other areas of the City. The objective of the greenway system is to improve environmental quality
and enhance the open space system in the City. Greenways in the City of Carlsbad will serve several
functions including the wildlife corridors, buffers adjacent to habitat preserves; recreation areas, and
viewsheds (R-3).

Habitat Manaaernient Plannina Efforts
At the direction of the City Council, Carlsbad has undertaken preparation of a Habitat Managen
Plan (HMPI for the City. The goal of the project is to develop an HMP which will become a rr
component of the Open Space and Conservation Element of the General Plan. The HMP will pro
direction about how best to conserve, use, and manage the City's biological habitat resources
should result in an effective habitat preserve system. Decisions regarding the design of the pres!
system are being directed by competent scientific research and driven by biological concerns. To d
the HMP for the City of Carlsbad is incomplete although many of the preliminary studies necessar
complete the HMP have been finished.
Carlsbad Planning Areas
The preliminary HMP studies divide the City into seven separate planning areas, see Map 5.4-3: Hat
Management Planning Areas. The seven planning areas represent the portions of the City
currently have the greatest biological value. Presented in Table 5.4-4 are the acreages of aggregi
vegetation types by planning area, and presented in Table 5.4-5 are the sensitive species record
planning area. The following provides a description of the biological resources in the seven plani
areas.
Plannina Area 1 (PA1 1
PA1 primarily consiists of the Buena Vista Lagoon in its western portion and Buena Vista Creek ir
eastern portion. This 393-acre area is located at the northwestern border of Carlsbad, and is boun
by State Highway 78 on the north and urban development on the south. The dominant cover tyc
the open water of the lagoon. The eastern portion supports riparian scrub and non-native ani
grassland. The planning area also includes some small patches of disturbed habitat.
PA1 contains highly sensitive wetland habitats; the lagoons and saltmarsh and freshwater habi
currently are statutorily protected from development under Section 404 of the federal Clean Water
and Section 1600 of the California Fish and Game Code. Furthermore, Buena Vista Lagoon is mana
as an ecological reserve area by the California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) and therefoi
already under state protection and management.
The open water habitat of the lagoon supports a variety of fishes and provides foraging habitat
numerous waterfowl. Sensitive wildlife species likely to occur in the lagoon or the associated s
marsh include the Elelding's Savannah sparrow, light-footed clapper rail, California least tern, and s
marsh skipper. Freshwater marsh provides habitat for two sensitive plant species; spiny rush, wt
has been recorded from PAl, and San Diego marsh elder (R-1).
Plannina Area 2 (PA4
PA2 contains 2,445 acres generally located east of Tamarack Avenue, northeast of El Camino R
and north of Palomar Airport Road. The dominant vegetation in this area is coastal sage scrub
chaparral, with relatively large patches of disturbed habitat interspersed with the sage scrub
chaparral. This area supports one of the two remaining areas in Carlsbad with large, continuous stai
of coastal sage scrub. Other notable features in PA2 include Lake Calavera and Squires Dam, ripar
scrub and well devleloped oak woodlands in the southern portion of the area. The important habi in PA2 occurs in three large blocks; around Lake Calavera, the block of coastal sage scrub east o
Rancho Carlsbad Golf Course, and the block of coastal sage scrub and chaparral around Agua Hedioi

on the eastern boundary of PA5 connects with substantial coastal sage scrub in the City of 1 Marcos.
Despite the apparent fragmentation of habitat in PA5, it supports at least 13 gnatcatcher pairs a
variety of sensitive plants. PA5 also serves an important function as a link between the coastal
scrub and chaparral habitats in PA2 and PA7. The habitat along the western edge, which parallt Camino Real, primarily consists of chaparral and does not connect to other large chaparral patc The more interior corridor is comprised of discrete but proximate patches of coastal sage scrub

PA6 consists of the Batiquitos Lagoon area and comprises 671 acres. This area is bordered or
south by La Costa Avenue and the City of Encinitas, on the east by El Camino Real, and on the r
by residential development and disturbed habitat. PA6 is dominated by the open water habitat o
lagoon, with saltwater and freshwater marsh along the edges. As described above for the Buena 1
Lagoon, this habitat biologically is extremely valuable and sensitive. Sensitive species likely to o
also are as described above. The CDFG manages the Batiquitos Lagoon as an ecological preserve,
thus it is already under state protection (R-1 I.
Plannina Area 7 /PA71
PA7 consists of a 2,035-acre area located in the southeastern portion of the City. The pro1
primarily is owned by the Fieldstone Company. This area is bisected by Rancho Santa Fe R
bordered on the north by Alga Road, and on the southeast by the City of Encinitas. PA7 support
largest contiguous stand of coastal sage scrub in the City of Carlsbad and currently provides ha
for at least 40 gnatcatcher pairs. The remaining habitat in the PA7 mostly is composed of chap
with smaller patches of non-native grassland and disturbed habitat in the central portion. There
are small areas of riparian scrub and a small area of open water. In addition to gnatcatchers,
supports a variety of sensitive plants.
The Fieldstone Company is working on an agreement with the USFWS and the City of Carlsba

City. This kind of regional linkage will be essential for the viability of the Carlsbad gnatcatcher
population and will contribute to the regional gnatcatcher population (R-1 I.
Portions Of The Citv Not Within A Planninq Area
Approximately 15,545 acres of the City are not included within one of the seven planning areas.
Approximately 9,783 acres are developed with another 3,078 acres consisting of disturbed habitat,
active agriculture and golf courses. In addition, approximately 2,684 acres consists of native habitats
including 723 acres of coastal sage scrub (including disturbed sage scrub and maritime succulent
scrub), 553 acres of chaparral (including disturbed chaparral, southern maritime chaparral and coastal
sage/chaparral mix), 1 6 acres of native grassland, 887 acres of non-native/disturbed grassland, 80
acres of saltwater/freshwater marsh, 11 4 acres of riparian scrub, 15 acres of oak woodland and
sycamore alluvial woodland, 200 acres of eucalyptus woodland, 30 acres of open water, and 66 acres
of disturbed wetlands. Although sensitive habitats are included in the portions of the City not covered
by a Planning Area, the majority of these areas have already been protected through existing project
approvals, Federal, State or Local Regulations (R-1 I.

Implementation of the updated General Plan will result in additional development within the City. The
new development will occur in undeveloped areas resulting in the reduction of sensitive habitats. AS
the majority of the City's existing development is located in the western portion of the City, most of
the future growth will occur in the east, where large areas of undeveloped land support a variety of
sensitive habitats including coastal sage scrub and riparian habitats. These habitats support the
federally-listed California gnatcatcher and least Bell's vireo respectively. Further, sensitive plant
species potentially impacted by new development in the east include California adolphia, ashy spike
moss, wart stemmed ceanothus, summer holly, and Del Mar manzanita. The following is a discussion.
of potential impacts by planning area.
Plannina Area 1 (PA11
PA 1 primarily contains highly sensitive wetland habitats: Buena Vista Lagoon, and saltmarsh and
freshwater habitats. Portions of this planning area are planned for residential and non-residential
development under the updated General Plan. The sensitive habitat areas identified in PA1 are
currently protected from development under Section 404 of the Federal Clean Water Act and Sections
1600 of the California Fish and Game Code. Buena Vista Lagoon, located in this planning area, is
managed and protected as a biological reserve area by the California Department of Fish and Game

Plannina Area 2 (PA21
The dominant vegetation in PA2 is Coastal Sage Scrub and Chaparral. PA2 supports the sec
greatest concentration of California gnatcatchers in the City, as well as several other sensitive spec
including a substantial population of California adolphia (R-1). A sizeable amount of habitat in
planning area will be preserved including a portion of the City-owned Lake Calavera property and a
acre site located just south of the City-owned parcel. The majority of the area containing coastal :
scrub and chaparral1 habitat is planned for residential development. Development of the propc
residential densities has the potential to result in significant, but mitigable impacts.

The most sensitive habitats in PA3 are the Agua Hedionda Lagoon and riparian scrub habitats. Th
habitats are currently protected by Federal, State and local regulations and have been designate(
open space on the General Plan Update Land Use Map. Further development in PA3 will include t
residential and non-residential land uses. Besides the lagoon and riparian scrub habitat in PA3,
remaining habitat is marginal; the patches of coastal sage scrub and chaparral will likely becc
fragmented with eventual development. Impacts are potentially significant, but mitigable.

Company to preserve a portion of this planning area. Preservation of Coastal Sage Scrub habitat in
PA7 is essential to maintenance of regional linkages as well as maintenance of a viable gnatcatcher
population within the City.
The updated Ger.dral Plan includes e znsive programs and strategies designed to support the
development of the City's HMP. Furt- I, new general plan policies ensure coordination of habitat
planning efforts with Federal, State and local jurisdictions. These programs will serve to mitigate
potential impact to biological resources and will further serve to implement the City's policy for the
preservation and protection of resources.
The updated General Plan incorporates the Open Space and Conservation Resource Management Plan
(OSCRMP). The OSCRMP designates future primary open space acquisition priorities. The OSCRMP
identifies open space for the preservation of plant, animal life and habitat as a top priority. The
updated General Plan designates 5,781 acres as open space to implement the OSCRMP. This
designation expresses the City's general intent to optimize natural resource values throughout the open
space system and to maximize the protection and mhancement of wildlife and habitats within various
preserves.
One of the primary priorities of the OSCRMP is greenways. Greenways in Carlsbad will serve several
functions including providing for: wildlife corridors; buffers adjacent to habitat preserves; recreation
areas; and viewsheds (R-3). The four major oreenways that are proposed as part of the updated
General Plan, include the following:
0
CITY OF CARLSBAD
An east-to-west greenway connecting from an adjacent open space corridor, trail connection
and park in the City of San Marcos via the future Carrillo Ranch Park site, the future Alga Norte
Community Park site, the future Zone 19 Community park site, to the Poinsettia Park site. This
greenway will also provide connections to two future school sites.
A north-to-south greenway running from Lake Calavera, past the Zone 14 school site, along
Agua Hedionda Creek, crossing Palomar Airpcrt Road at the future intersection with Melrose,
to the Carrillo Ranch park site.
A generally east-to-west connection from Agua Hedionda Lagoon, through the proposed
Veterans Memorial Park and the Evans Point development to Lake Calavera.
A number of smaller or less complete greenways will be completed throughout the City linking
together key environmental features including lagoons, large open space areas, nature
preserves, City parks, and providing open space connections to surrounding cities.

Although the General Plan designates substantial open space and establishes effective wildlife corridors
through the greenway system, the acreage of wildlife habitat will decrease substantially as buildout
of the City proceeds according to the updated General Plan. The ability of the area to support sensitive
plant and animal species will be reduced. Sensitive habitat and animal and plant species in Carlsbad
will be significantly impacted. These impacts will be partially offset by implementation of the City's
Open Space and Conservation Resource Management Plan, and General Plan Open Space and
Conservation Element; participation in the Fieldstone Habitat Conservation Plan; involvement in the
North County Multi-species Habitat Conservation Planning group; and through continued multi-species
habitat management planning efforts.

On March 25, 1993, the California gnatcatcher was listed by the U.S. Secretary of the Interic
"threatened" under the Federal Endangered Species Act. The listing was effective immediately. T
are no vested rights under the Endangered Species Act, thus all discretionary and ministerial per
and all development, construction, grading or clearing in reliance on previously approved permi
affected. Violations of the Endangered Species Act by taking habitat can result in substantial fines
penalties imposed lby the USFWS. Because of the listing of the gnatcatcher, development undei
updated General Plan will be constrained. The City is currently working with the USFWS and C
thought the Natural Community Conservation Planning (NCCP) Program to resolve the issues. Fu
the City of Carlsbad is working with other North County agencies through the North County Wi'
Multi-species Habiitat Conservation Planning (MHCP) effort. The MHCP will ensure reg
coordination of habitat planning. Finally, the City of Carlsbad has been working to complete the I
for the past two years. The City's HMP will establish direction about how best to conserve, use,
manage the City's biological habitat resources and should result in an effective habitat pres1
system. The City's HMP will be consistent with the States NCCP program and the North Coi
MHCP. The gnatcatcher will be protected in the City by federal regulation, the inclusion of design
Open Space in the General Plan, and preparation and implementation of a Multi-species Hal 1 Management Plan.
Impacts of Implementing the Carlsbad Trail System
The Carlsbad trail system has been included in the updated General Plan. The trail system consisl
approximately 74 miles of pedestrian, bicycle, and joint use trails. See Map 5.4-4: Carlsbad
System Map, for ,the location of proposed trails. There are three types of trails included in
proposed system. The first includes a fully improved, handicapped accessible, paved trail which w
be used in the most urban and heavily used trail sections. The second trail type would be unpaved
is intended to be only minimally improved to allow a more rural aesthetic trail. The third trail
would use the sidewalk and bike lanes in the road right-of-way as a trail and would be used only wl
aligning the trail in a separate right-of-way was not possible. Approximately 61 miles will be unpa
hiking and bicycle paths, approximately 11 miles will utilize sidewalks and bike lanes;
approximately 2 miles will be paved pedestrian and bike paths (R-3).
Direct impacts due to the trail system may occur as a result of the sensitive resource or loss of
habitat for the sensitive species. Indirect impacts may occur as a result of the close placement oft
to areas used by the sensitive species. Close proximity of human activity associated with a t
system may cause some species to leave the area. A synopsis of the potential impacts to sens
biological resources is included in Table 5.4-6: Carlsbad Trail SystemIMitigation Summary (R-2). '
segments not incliuded in this table were concluded to have no significant impacts to biolo!
resources (R-2). A detailed discussion of trail impacts is located included in Appendix E (Carl:

Population
Within the last 20 years, the City of Carlsbad has experienced rapid growth. In 1960, a few )
after incorporation, the City‘s population was under 10,000 people. By 1970, the City‘s popul<
had increased to almost 15,000. During the 1970’s the areas surrounding the City (most notabl
La Costa area) began to develop. Some of these areas were annexed into Carlsbad and the C
population doubledl. In 1980, the U.S. Census indicated that the population was 35,490. North
Diego County (including Carlsbad) experienced a development boom in the 1980’s and employr
centers and housing increased, The Carlsbad population increased by 77 percent between 1980
1990 to 63,126 persons. By 1992, the population reached approximately 65,700 people (R-1).
The majority of Carlsbad residents are between 35 and 59 years of age. Approximately 16 per
of the population is under the age of 18 and approximately 14 percent of the population is 65 y
of age or older. The median age of the City’s population is 32.2 years of age which is older thar
County-wide median age of 28.8 years of age. The median income for Carlsbad is approxim:
$41,015 in 1987 dollars which is higher than the County median income of $37,900. Only 31 per
(or about 10,000) of Carlsbad households fall below the County median income (R-1).
Housing
In 1980, Carlsbad contained 15,352 dwelling units. By 1990, housing increased by 77 perce
Carlsbad to 27,249 dwelling units. In 1992, housing within the City reached 28,078 dwelling u
Approximately 58 percent of the city’s housing stock is single-family homes and approximatel)
percent is multi-family homes. Mobile homes compose approximately four percent of the hou
stock. Recent construction trends in the last ten years have resulted in the development of r
single-family homes than rnulti-family homes (54 percent and 44 percent, respectively).
The condition of housing in the City is primarily good. Nearly 80 percent of Carlsbad’s housing is
than 20 years old and the City has only a small stock of older homes. The older homes are prim
located in the older northwest quadrant of the City. Approximately five percent of the total hou
stock is substandard and the majority of the substandard housing is owner-occupied (R-1 I.
Jobs-To-Housing Balance
The Jobs-To-Housing Balance refers to the relationship between the availability of employr
opportunities and housing to accommodate employees within a given city. The relationship betw
jobs and housing hias been unbalanced in Carlsbad during recent years. Although significant hou
has been developed in Carlsbad in the last ten years, the new housing has primarily been compc
of luxury single-family homes. The new housing, in addition to the coastal setting, have attrac
affluent families from other parts of San Diego County. Many of the new households retain 1
former jobs and commute to other areas. Carlsbad provides many employment opportunities in
retail, industrial, arid service sectors. These employment sectors traditionally offer a lower wage
as a result, many people employed within Carlsbad must seek housing in the surrounding commun
where housing costs are lower (R-1).

Growth Management Program
The City developed a Growth Management Program which was ratified by Carlsbad voters in November
1986. The Growth Management Program establishes performance standards for public facilities, a
population limit of approximately 135,000 persons, and a housing limit of approximately 54,600
dwelling units. The Growth Management Program was analyzed for potential housing impacts when
it was developed. The analysis found that the Growth Management Program would not significantly
impact the Regional Housing Needs or the Housing Element because the City's housing needs and fair
share goals will continue to be met. The purpose and intent of the Growth Management Program is
to provide quality housing opportunities for all economic segments of the community and to balance
the housing needs of the region against the public service needs of Carlsbad residents and available
fiscal and environmental resources.

Buildout of the updated General Plan will add a maximum of 25,389 dwelling units to the 27,249
dwelling units existing in 1990 for a maximum total of 52,638 dwelling units. Based on an average
household size of 2.31 78 persons per dwelling unit (R-21, buildout will add approximately 58,878
persons to the 63,126 persons residing in Carlsbad in 1 990 for a total population of 122,004 persons.
The City's population could increase by 93 percent between 1990 and 2010 (when buildout is
assumed). Table 5.5-1 : Population and Housing Growth, summarizes the increases in population and
housing.
Table 5.5-1 also shows San Diego Association of Government (SANDAG) Series 7 population and
housing forecasts prepared for 2010. The Series 7 housing and population forecasts for the City of
Carlsbad are less than the population and housing resulting from buildout of the updated General Plan
at 2010. The Series 7 forecasts are based on nearly the same land use densities contained in the
updated General Plan but the Series 7 forecasts assume that buildout will occur sometime after 201 0.
The environmental analysis performed in this EIR assumes that buildout will occur at 201 0 to estimate
the "worst case" impacts resulting from the updated General Plan. In reality, buildout of the Carlsbad
General Plan will probably not occur until after 201 0 and the Series 7 forecasts may be more accurate.

5.6.1 - Environmental Settinq
The City of Carlsbad first developed around the turn of the century as a rail stop on the southern
of the Buena Vista Lagoon. The area was predominantly utilized for agriculture but achieved SI
fame for local mineral water wells and the mild sea coast climate which was ideal for the grow
seeds, bulbs, and a variety of flowers. From the inception of Carlsbad, until well after incorpora
as a general law ciity in 1952, it existed as a quaint village-by-the-sea. However, following a sc
of annexations which begun in the 1960's, the City began to grow gradually in area and populal
From its original 7.5 square miles and 7,000 people, the City grew to its current size of 42.2 sqL
miles and 65,700 people.
In addition to the original village, the City now includes an internationally noted resort and surrounc
residential neighborhoods, the most active general aviation airport in San Diego County, a 2,000 + i
campus-industrial corridor, a million-plus square foot regional shopping mall and a major auto mall \
over 20 dealerships;.
Related Documents and Land Use Policies
Several existing documents and land use policies govern future development and land use within
City of Carlsbad. These documents include the General Plan, the Zoning Ordinance, Gro
Management Plan, the City's six Local Coastal Programs, McClellan-Palomar Airport Comprehen,
Land Use Plan, and numerous master and specific plans.
AdoPted General Plan
The General Plan adopted in 1972 presently guides all development within the City boundaries. .
Land Use Element of the General Plan defines land use categories and establishes developm
intensity limits. The Land Use Element also establishes the distribution of the land use categorie5
illustrated in Map 5.6-1: General Plan Land Use Map. Table 5.6-1: 1990 Land Use Categories
Development, summarizes the acreage of each land use category and the percent of each land
category that was developed in 1990. Around 68 percent of the City is undeveloped, with
remainder (32 percent) being developed with a variety of land uses. The percentage apportionm
of the City's total acreage in 1990 was 55 percent Residential uses, 17 percent Non-residential u
(commercial and inldustrial), one percent Mixed Use, and 17 percent Open Space. The remaining
percent of the land area was designated for Schools, Government, Transportation Network (roads
railroad), public utilities, and public rights-of-way.
As shown in Table 5.6-1 : 1990 Land Use Categories and Development, 40 percent (5,638 acres
the existing residentially designated land area is developed with approximately 27,249 dwelling ur
Of the existing non-residential land area, 25 percent (1,066 acres) is developed.

Office and industrial
Office arid Industrial land uses are covered by two separate designations including Professional
Related (0) and Planned Industrial (PI). The (0) classification designates areas which are suited
office and professional uses as well as support-related commercial uses. The (PI) designation inclu
areas suitable for industrial development, including manufacturing, warehousing, storage, research
development and utility uses.
The Professional and Related (0) designation includes 221 gross acres which are sparsely distribi
throughout the City. Approximately thirteen percent of this designation is developed with (0) I
uses. Planned Industrial land uses form the City's centralized industrial corridor which surrou
Palomar Airport and extends in a broad band generally to the eastern and western City limits. Tt
exists 1,692 gross acres of Planned Industrial designated land. Approximately twenty-two per(
(379 acres) of the City's Planned Industrial designated lands are developed.
Mixed Use
The existing Carlsbad General Plan includes several areas which are under combination land
designations (referred to as Mixed Uses). The Mixed Use designation is assigned to areas which
in the early planning stages and for which the most appropriate land use designation has not b
determined. A specific plan is required to be prepared prior to the development of any property wl
has this designation. The Mixed Use designations are subdivided into Non-Residential and h
ResidentiaVResidential categories.
The Non-Residential Mixed Use designations include: PI/RS/C/TS/U, PI/O, and TS/C. Non-Reside!
Mixed Uses comprise 884 gross acres of the City. Of this Non-Residential Mixed Use acre
approximately 21 4 acres are developed. The majority of this developed Non-Residential acreag
located immediately north of Palomar Airport in the Carlsbad Research Center and at the 1-5
Poinsettia Lane interchange.
The Noni-ResidentiaVResidential Mixed Use designations include: RM/O, RMH/TS, RH/O and RH/
(total 01 144 acres). None of this Non-ResidentiaVResidential Mixed Use acreage is curre
developed.
Non-Residential Reserve
This designation indicates areas where planning for future land uses has not been completed or p
for devdopment have not been formalized. Because all of the Non-Residential Reserve acreas
located in proximity to Palomar Airport, it is not appropriate for residential development. Tt
designated areas are currently under agriculture or other interim uses until appropriate land
designations are established. There are 51 5 acres of land which are designated Non-Reside1
Reserve. None of this land is developed.
Governmental Facilities
Presently, 273 gross acres of land are designated for Governmental (G) uses. This classificatio
land use designates areas currently used for major governmental facilities by agencies such as the (
county, state, or federal government. Facilities within this category include uses such as t
buildings, libraries, maintenance yards, police and fire stations and airports. Ninety-seven (97) per
(265 acres) of Government designated land is currently developed. Palomar Airport (254.7 acre

Schools
The Schools land use designations include: Elementary (E), Junior High (J), High School (HI,
Continuation School (HC) and Private School (P). These land use designations represent both existing
and proposed school sites necessary to serve the planning area. Currentfy 525 gross acres are
designated for Schools. Developed school sites cover approximately 1 66 gross acres.
Open Space
The Land Use Map shows the generalized boundaries of presently designated and planned open space
including City parks and special resource areas. The Open Space (OS) designation includes 4,281
acres of land. The majority of the Open Space land is composed of Carlsbad's three lagoons (Buena
Vista, Agua Hedionda and Batiquitos) and their associated tributaries. Other major open space areas
include Calavera Lake and the Veteran's Memorial Park site.
Public Utilities
This category of land use designates areas either being used or which may be considered for use for
public or quasi-public functions. Such functions include: the generation of electrical energy, treatment
of waste water, public agency maintenance storage and operating facilities or other primary utility
functions. The Public Utility (U) designation covers 158 acres of land of which 130 acres are
developed. Included within this designation are the San Diego Gas & Electric Power Plant and the
Encina Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Master PlansEoecific Plans
The adopted General Plan also establishes a variety of Master Plan and Specific Plan areas throughout
the City. These plans provide land use specifications and regulatory control for areas of the City which
have unique characteristics.
Zonina Ordinance
The Zoning Ordinance is one of the primary legal devices to implement the General Plan. State law
requires that the Zoning Ordinance be consistent with the General Plan. The Zoning Ordinance sets
forth standards for the development of land uses of the General Plan. The land use zones addressed
within the Zoning Ordinance include broad categories of Residential, Commercial, Off ice, Industrial, and
Open Space land uses.
Growth Manaaement Plan
To ensure that adequate public facilities and services are guaranteed at all times as growth occurs, the
City developed a Growth Management Plan which was ratified by the City voters in November, 1986.
The Growth Management Plan establishes performance standards for eleven public facilities (city
administration, library, wastewater treatment, parks, drainage, circulation, fire, open space, schools,
sewer collection and water distribution).
As part of the City's Growth Management Program (1 986) a dwelling unit limitation was established
for each of the four quadrants of the City (the intersection of Palomar Airport Road and El Camino Real
divides the City in four quadrants). To ensure that residential development through buildout of the City
does not exceed the quadrant limits (Le; NW 5,844 DUs, NE 6,166 DUs, SW 10,667 DUs, and SE

1 Adooted General fm
As shown on the Proposed Land Use Map, the proposed General Plan creates four new land u
designations (Regional Commercial- RC, Tourist/Recreation Commercial-TR, Village-V and Unplann
Area-UA), and eliminates several land use designations (Intensive Regional Retail-RRI, Extensi
Regional Retail-RRE, Regional Service-RS, Travel Service-TS, Recreational Commercial-RC, Cent
Business District-CBD, PI/RS/C/TS/U, and Non-Residential Reserve-NRR. The proposed land L
changes include the following:
1.
2.
Designate an additional 1,500 acres on the Land Use Plan Map as Open Space (OS).
Dlelete Intensive Regional Retail (RRI), Extensive Regional Retail (RRE), and Regional Serv
(RS) land use designations and reclassify to new Regional Commercial (RC) designation.
Delete Travel Service (TS) and Recreational Commercial (RC) designations and reclassify
new Tourist/Recreation Commercial (TR) designation.
Delete Central Business District (CBD) land use designation and reclassify to Village
designation.
3.
4.
5. Delete the Carlsbad Research Center's mixed land use designation (PI/RS/C/TS/U) i
risclassify a!; Planned Industrial (PI).
Delete the Non-Residential Reserve (NRR) land use designation and reclassify to new Unplani
Area (UA) designation.
6.
The major proposed land use change is the addition of 1,500 acres of Open Space to the Land I
Map. Designated Open Space will increase by six percent. Some of this additional Open Space is F
of approved projects. The addition of this approved Open Space acreage to the Land Use Map will
affect buildout of the City. Other land designated as new Open Space is constrained (undevelopal
Open Splace which was identified through the City's Growth Management Program (Local Faci
Management Plans). Since this additional constrained Open Space acreage was already accounted
in City buildout projections, it will not affect the buildout potential of the City. The other proposed I
use changes listed above are administrative in nature (land uses will be renamed and remain at
same intensity) and will not affect the buildout acreage of the City.
The proposed major Land Use Element policy additions include:
1. Allow density increases, above the maximum residential densities permitted by the Gen
Plan, to enable the development of lower-income affordable housing. (Land Use Eleml I Residential Policies, (2.3.)
- I LAND USE 5.6-'
FINAL MASTER
Environmental ImRact Report
2.
CITY OF CARLSBAD
Require residential development to achieve the minimum density stipulated under the applicable
general plan designation unless approved by a general plan amendment. (Land Use Element,
Residential Policies, C.2.)
Require new master planned developments and residential specific plans to provide usable
acres to be designated for community facilities such as daycare, worship, youth and senior
citizen activities. (Land Use Element, Residential Policies, C. 13.)
Require all new master plans and residential specific plans to provide a neighborhood
commercial site within the plan area. (Land Use Element, Commercial Policies, C.1 .b.)
3.
4.
The proposed land use Policy C.3, allows density increases above the maximum residential densities
permitted by the General Plan to enable the development of affordable housing. This policy is
necessary to ensure that the Land Use Element is consistent with Programs 3.7.a. (Density Bonus)
and 3.7.i. (Mechanism for Granting Density Increases) of the City's updated Housing Element (October
22, 1991 1. Potential adverse land use impacts to surrounding properties associated with this new
policy are mitigated by the policy itself. Specifically, the policy requires that any request for a density
increase be reviewed relative to (1) a project's compatibility with adjacent land uses, (2) compliance
with specific locational criteria, and (3) the adequacy of public facilities. In addition, any future
projects processed with a density increase shall be required to undergo detailed environmental review.
The potential for Land Use policy C.3 to increase the total number of residential units projected within
the City through buildout is not anticipated. This conclusion is based upon the finding that a number
of residential projects have been approved at a lower density than permitted by the General Plan. All
of the unused units available from this source have been deposited in what is referred to as the City's
excess unit bank. All units within the excess unit bank are prioritized for the development of affordable
housing. There appears to be an adequate number of dwelling units within the excess unit bank for
the City to meet its affordable housing obligations without exceeding the General Plan residential
buildout projections, no land use impact will occur.
Proposed Land Use Policy C.2., requires residential development to achieve the minimum density
stipulated under the applicable General Plan designation, unless approved by a General Plan
amendment. This policy will ensure that residentially designated sites are developed at densities
consistent with their General Plan designations instead of being underutilized or developed below the
minimum density of the designation's range. In that this policy will not result in an increase in
development intensity or a change in use type, it will not impact the public's health, safety, or welfare
or character of the community.
Proposed Land Use Policies C.13. and C.l .b. will require new master and specific plan developments
to provide sites for community facilities (daycare, worship, youth and senior citizen activities) and
neighborhood commercial uses. The objectives of these proposed policy additions include: (1 ) creating
more self-contained communities (2) ensuring that sites for such needed community facilities are
clearly identified early on in the planning process, thereby mitigating potential land use compatibility
impacts, (3) decreasing traffic trips, and (4) reducing air pollution emissions. These objectives, as
implemented through these new Land Use policies will function to positively affect the character and
form of each master/specific plan community. The provision of necessary community facilities in
proximity to residential neighborhoods will also positively affect the health, safety and welfare of
neighborhood residents.

5.7 CIRCULATION
5.7.1 - Environmental Settinq
Carlsbacl is a coastal city bordered generally on the north by the Cities of Oceanside and Vista, on
east by Vista and San Marcos, and on the south by Q-icinitas. Carlsbad's transportation systei
generall!! meandering, due to the presence of natural topographic constraints (e.g., steep hills, lagol
and marimade features (e.g., airport). Only the more densely developed redevelopment area in
Northwest quadrant contains a more traditional grid-like street system. Transportation in the Cii
primarily auto-oriented; however, the adopted Circulation Plan provides for automobile, truck, bicj
pedestrian, and public transit modes. In addition, because of its location between Los Angeles and
Diego, the City experiences a significant amount of through-traffic.
Definitions
Terms and concepts used in the traffic analysis discussion are defined below.
The functional classification of a roadway refers to its primary function, either mobility or acces
property. Higher classes of roadways (e.g., prime and major arterials) function mainly to carry throi
traffic and to provide a direct connection to the freeway system. Collectors typically feed local tri
to the arterial street system. Local streets provide direct access to abutting land uses.
The design standaird refers to the roadway specifications, including roadway cross-section, de
speed, capacity, grade and curvature, surface type, and traffic controls. The typical roadway cr
section iJSed for the various functional classifications of Circulation Plan roadways in Carlsbad ar
follows:
- Artlerial Classification Riaht-of-Wav/Paved Width
Prirne Arterial 126 ft/l06 ft
Major Arterial 102 ft/82 ft
Secondary Arterial 84 ft/64 ft
Collector 60 ft/40 ft
Local Street 60 ft/40 ft e
Variances to these design criteria may be allowed under special conditions. Hillside streets
designed on a case-by-case basis subject to established guidelines (R-1).
Average Daily Trafic (ADT) level reflects the average 24-hour traffic volume (both directions)
given location for some period of time less than a year.
Level of service (LOS) analysis is used to evaluate congestion and associated delay on streets an
intersections. The level of service reflects the ability of traffic to flow on that street. There art
recognized levels of service represented by the letters "A" through "F". A detailed description of le
of service is providled in Table 5.7-1 : Levels of Service Descriptions.
The level of service of an intersection can be an indication of the delay which can be expected on
street network. For this reason, the City determines level of service by means of Intersection Cap2
Utilization (ICU) analysis for signalized intersections. An ICU value is a means of representing I
hour volume-to-capacity ratios. At a value of 1 .OO (LOS El, the theoretical absolute capacity of

along the southeastern boundary of the City.
Information regarding the existing street circulation system and conditions in 1990 was taken from '
1990 Growth Management Plan Traffic Monitoring Report (see Appendix F). This report analyzed d
for 37 key intersections and 18 key mid-block locations. The mid-block analysis indicated that
roadway segments were operating at LOS F during peak periods. However, Palomar Airport Road, e
of Melrose Drive, was identified as operating at LOS E during the peak period. La Costa Aver
between Piraeus Street and Saxony Road was found to be operating at LOS D during the peak peril
The Paloimar Airport roadll-5 ramps and the La Costa Avenue/l-5 ramps also failed to meet the Grok
Management performance standard. Since that time, improvements to the Palomar Airport Road,
interchange have been completed. Improvements to the Palomar Airport Road/El Camino R
intersection are estimated to be completed by August, 1994. Improvements to the La Costa Avenu
5 ramps have been funded and designed. They are expected to be completed in fiscal year 1995-!
Intersections in urbanized areas tend to be the dominant factor in traffic operations. Thus, the anal
of intersection levels of service at signalized intersections provides a more accurate indicatior

were owned and imaintained by the City. The remaining seven were maintained, or owned
maintained, by Cal'Trans. This report, updated every two years identifies and evaluates the pote
need for future traffic signals throughout the City.
Truck Routes
The City addresses truck traffic demands by the designation of specific posted truck routes. T
routes alre designated by an adopted city ordinance. The truck routes must accommodate turns
maneuvers by large trucks and connect with the freeway and arterial system. In addition, truck ro

are chosen to minimize noise, pollution, and safety impacts to residential areas. Current truck routes
are shown on Map 5.7-3: 1990 Truck Routes.
Parking Facilities
The City has nine public parking areas in the Village Redevelopment section of the City. These lots
are generally located around Carlsbad Village Drive and State Street and provide approximately 355
parking spaces. There is a general need for more parking in the Redevelopment Area during parts of
the day. One park-and-ride site is located within the City limits at La Costa Avenue and 1-5. However,
the site is owned and maintained by CalTrans.
Alternative Modes of TransDortation
Bicycles
Bicycles are encouraged in the City as an alternative form of transportation. A citywide bike lane
inventory completed in early 1993 (R-5) identifies the locations of all existing bicycle lanes. These
lanes are shown on Map 5.7-4: 1993 Bike Lanes. In most cases, the bike lanes are present on both
sides of the streets shown. Short segments of some streets have bike lanes on only one side because
the streets are currently unimproved or because of on-street parking.
Pedestrians
The primary existing facilities for pedestrians in the City are sidewalks within the street right-of-way
and controlled street crossings. Current City standards require the installation of sidewalks as a
condition of approval for most developments (except hillside streets) (R-1 1. However, there are a
number of locations, especially in the older sections of the City, where sidewalk facilities are deficient or were never constructed (R-6). The only complete trail segment currently existing is located along
the northern edge of Batiquitos Lagoon. The trail consists of a paved pedestrian and bike path (R-7).
Mass Transit
North County Transit District (NCTD) currently provides local and express bus service in Carlsbad. The
City has two transfer points for bus riders. One is on Grand Avenue near Washington Street. The
other is the Plaza Camino Real Mall. Eleven bus routes currently serve some portion of the City. The
current bus routes are shown on Map 5.7-5: 1993 Bus Routes (R-8). NCTD also provides specialized
transit under the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This Dial-a-Ride service
is provided for people who live within one-quarter mile of a regular fixed route (R-9). The City currently
has no commuter rail or other rail service. Amtrak serves the Southern California area through the
Oceanside station, but there is no Amtrak depot in Carlsbad.
A general aviation airport, McClellan-Palomar Airport, is located in the center of the City. The airport's
influence area is a wide band running east and west through the City. The areas surrounding the
airport can generally be used only for industrial and supporting commercial uses due to restrictions
related to health and safety issues. The Airport serves charter firms and other aircraft. It also provides
passenger service to Los Angeles International Airport.

Regional Circulation Considerations
As stated previously, the City's circulation system currently carries through-traffic from surrounding
areas. Palomar Airport Road provides access to 1-5 from the east (San Marcos). El Camino Real
provides north/south access from OceansideNista and from Encinitas. Carlsbad Boulevard (State
Highway 101 ) also carries some regional traffic. Carlsbad roadways are particularly affected by
regional traffic during commuting periods. Commuters often use Carlsbad surface streets to avoid
congested traffic on 1-5. As these surrounding cities continue to grow, some Carlsbad arterials will
carry more of this regional traffic.
5.7.2 Basis For Determining Sisnificance
The project will have potentially significant impacts if it will result in the following Levels of Service:
01. Level of Service C or more on road segments or intersections during off-peak hours.
2. Level of Service D or more on road segments or intersections during peak hours.
5.7.3 Environmental lmeacts
Streets and Traffic Control
Roadways
The San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) prepared traffic forecasts for the City of
Carlsbad. These forecasts based the projections on buildout of the land uses established by the
adopted Carlsbad General Plan (which are essentially the same as the land uses in the updated General
Plan) and year 2010 regional traffic projections. The traffic projections for the City represent the
"worst case" traffic that was projected to occur in 2010. Due to the current economic climate in
California and subsequent decrease in development activity, actual traffic in 2010 is expected to be
less than was projected.
The source of the information regarding the future streets and traffic control system in Carlsbad is the
"Circulation Implementation Program and Traffic Impact Fee Study" (TIF) prepared by the City
Engineering Department in 1991 (see Appendix GI. This study was designed to develop updated traffic
volume projections to guide the overall development of the City's Circulation Element of the General
Plan. It utilizes the SANDAG traffic model projections for 2010 buildout. Elements of the study
included a complete update of land use and circulation network assumptions, projections of future
traffic and evaluation of the impacts of various alternative networks. Land Use and growth projections
were evaluated for compatibility with adopted Local Facilities Management Plans (LFMPs- and
alternatives were designed to evaluate the potential impact of such major missing circulation links.
Among other things, the study evaluated the adequacy of the circulation system, identified circulation
system deficiencies, and established a preliminary phasing program to ensure conformance with
Growth Management Plan standards to buildout of the City.
Evaluation of the adequacy of the Circulation Element involved comparisons of projected peak hour
traffic volumes against planned roadway capacity for circulation roadway segments and intersections.
The study indicated that, when fully constructed, roadway segments will be adequate to accommodate
buildout traffic; however, 20 intersections will be severely impacted by regional through traffic over
which the City has no jurisdictional control. These intersections are shown on Map 5.7-7: Impacted
Intersections.

The 20 impacted intersections were then analyzed assuming the addition of turn lanes to deter

Structural mitigation for these projected intersection failures is not feasible from an economic or tr
engineering standpoint. In many cases existing improvements limit the City's ability to acc

Truck Routes
The City currently does not anticipate any change to the truck route designations shown on Map 5.7-3
resulting from buildout. However, these designations can be changed or updated by amending the City
ordinance should such a change be necessary.
Parking Facilities
The City requires new development to provide all required parking onsite. This requirement is
sometimes difficult to meet in the Village Redevelopment Area. The Redevelopment Master Plan,
currently under review, will provide for the creation of parking districts throughout the Redevelopment
Area. A number of parking lots will be included, but specific locations have not yet been identified.
In other areas of the City, parking requirements will continue to be met onsite.
Alternative Modes of TransDortation
Bic ycies
The City’s Bicycle Plan calls for bike lanes to be provided on all primary, major, and secondary arterials.
Bike lanes will be included in the street right-of-way, and will be supplied on both sides of the streets.
The lanes will be provided as development occurs.
Pedestrians
A 1991 report (R-6) includes a program for future construction of sidewalk linkages throughout the
City. This program emphasizes the need to complete these links on a systematic basis to achieve a
City-wide uniform sidewalk network. The program also establishes recommended sidewalk
prioritization lists for construction of needed sidewalks. The sidewalk priority list is intended to be
used as a tool for planning future construction of the missing sidewalk segments. Some of these
needed sidewalks will be provided as development occurs, while others may need to be provided by
other means.
A seventy-four mile Trail System has been approved in the City (R-71. The system includes pedestrian,
bicycle, and joint use trails. A variety of surfaces will be provided, depending upon specific anticipated
uses. As a condition of approval, proposed development projects must not preclude the provision of
such trails.
Mass Transit
As buildout of the City occurs, mass transit will be more important to alleviate congestion on City
streets. NCTD evaluates the need for service changes on a monthly basis. They monitor monthly
trends in ridership and schedule adherence and the need forkondition of transit amenities (ea,
shelters). They also monitor the information provided by the City regarding new development
proposals, especially potentially large traffic generators (R-9).
The North County Transit District currently has plans to provide commuter rail service in the City
beginning in late October, 1994. The commuter rail service will provide transportation between
Oceanside and San Diego with two stops in Carlsbad. Current plans include stops at Grand Avenue
and at Poinsettia Lane. The Grand Avenue stop will include a small station at Grand Avenue and
Washington Street. This station will also provide limited connection with bus routes and will include
bicycle lockers. (Bikes will be allowed on trains and some busses.) The Poinsettia Lane stop will be

The Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) establishes regional transportation policy for the San D
region. It addresses all modes of transportation, including automobile, transit, bicycles, railroad
aviation facilities. It identifies the facilities and programs which will be needed to meet the incre:
travel demand through the year 201 0. The RTP addresses capital facility funding, transporta
system management (TSM), transportation demand management (TDM), commercial airport site,
air quality strategies. Some of the recommendations of the 1990 RTP include: I
"Provision of additional capacity on some regional arterials
"Expansion of bicycle network
" Provision of commuter rail service between Oceanside and San Diego
"Provision of High Occupancy Vehicle lanes on 1-5

Throughout Carlslbad's history and prehistory there have been periods of settlement, growth,

According to a Comprehensive Planning Organization study completed in 1980 by Westec Serv
Inc., "The lagoon :systems (Agua Hedionda and Batiquitos) and their adjacent environs supported I
Native American villages and campsites than any other coastal area in San Diego County". As I
land is developed and redeveloped, cultural and paleontological resources are at risk.
Paleonlology of Carlsbad
The Lusardi Formation of the Cretaceous Age is the oldest fossiliferous rock unit within the City
consistently produces significant fossils and consists of sandstones and conglomerates that
deposited in a shallow sea that covered the region approximately 74 million years ago (R-2).
The sandstones and siltstones of the La Jolla Group (Santiago Formation, Del Mar Formation) o
Tertiary Age overlie the Lusardi Formation. This formation is approximately 45 million years olc
has produced a large number of vertebrate and invertebrate fossils. This formation has a high pote
for containing significant fossils (Map 5.8-1 : Potentially Significant Fossil Areas].
Quaternary Age alluvial deposits (Loma Linda Terrace Deposits) have the potential to COI
fossiliferous rock from Pleistocene terrace deposits of not more than 2 million years in age. TI
fossils .are also potentially significant.
Prehistory of Cairlsbad (1 0,000 B.C.-1769)
In 1 990, Regionall Environmental Consultants (Recon) updated the City's comprehensive recoi
prehistoric cultural resources through a process of record search and mapping. At that time
discrete site locations were identified (R-1 ). These sites, occurring throughout the City (see Map
2: Known Archaeologically Sensitive Areas), represent both the archaic (the San Dieguito Paleo-InL
and La Jolla-Pauma complex) and the late prehistoric/protohistoric (Luiseno and Kumey
occupations. The sites range from single isolated features to multi-component settlements indicz
of long term and multi-cultural occupation (R-2). The following summarizes a discussion th;
excerpted from the City of Carlsbad Cultural Resources Inventory prepared by Recon.
The earliest documented inhabitants of the San Diego region are known in the archaeological rei
as the San Dieguito people. Initially, these people were believed to have been big game hun
however, they are better characterized as a hunting and gathering society.
between the San Dieguito and the La Jolla-Pauma periods in San Diego County remains a topi
debate among members of the archaeological community. The debate centers on the fate of the
Dieguito. The question is whether or not the San Dieguito people continued to occupy the region I
7,000 years before the present (R-3, R-4, R-5, and R-6). In one of the two scenarios, the San Die(
are replaced by an intrusive La Jolla culture; and in the second, the differences in the artifacts

these technological changes signals the start of the La Jolla period. Perhaps the most noticeable
difference between the La Jolla period and the San Dieguito period is that the La Jolla period people
seem to have emphasized coastal resources, as evidenced by both settlement patterns and
technological innovations. The coastal margin provided a vast array of maritime and estuarine
resources, (in particular, shellfish and fish), while inland resources included seeds, fruits, and small
game (R-8,R-S,and R-lo).
The shift towards coastal resources, vegetable foods, and small land animals and away from large game hunting are seen as changes in the nature of the archaeological sites that are produced. The
transitory behavior of populations dependent upon large game results in archaeological deposits that
are ephemeral, both in terms of the amount of cultural debris that is left to analyze and the dispersed
patterning of these sites over the landscape. This site development process is altered by the shift from
large game hunting. The introduction of food that is easy to obtain and available in large quantities,
results in sites with depth of deposit and variety in the artifacts present. These sites are generally
clustered around the source or sources of the resources.
The most recent prehistoric culture groups are generally known by the names of the Spanish colonial
missions which had control over their fate. In the Carlsbad area there are three names that are used;
Kumeyaay, the most generic; Northern Diegueno, after the Mission de Alcala, San Diego; and Luiseno,
after the Mission San Luis Rey, Oceanside. Archaeologists also refer to these groups as part of the
Millingstone tradition, based on the proliferation of milling implements and bedrock grinding locales in
the archaeological assemblage.
With the arrival of the Yuman speaking people circa 1200 years before the present came the
introduction of ceramics, a closely knit clan system, a highly developed grinding technology, an
elaborate and complex kinship pattern, rock art, cremation, and extensive trade networks into the
Great Basin and Mexico (R-1 1 ,R-l2,and R-13). This cultural pattern appears to have relied heavily
upon an economic system tied to the use sf the acorn and other plant products. Some of these plant
foods required extensive processing before use, which is believed to be tied to the presence of bedrock
and portable grinding elements in sites dating to this period.
The dependence upon a plant based and seasonally available set of resources probably also contributed
to the "settling" and development of more permanent villages and centralized settlement locations.
This economic base apparently was able to support larger groups of people and these groups may have
stayed in a specific village on a year round or nearly year round basis, with the result being the
development of extensive archaeological sites such as the village of Palamai at Buena Vista Lagoon.
The people in villages such as this were contacted by Spanish Colonial groups in the 1760's, setting
in motion the gradual acculturation of Native American people to the ways of the colonizing group.
. History of Carlsbad
The history of Carlsbad began with Portola's colonizing expedition of 1764 which named Agua
Hedionda (Stinking Water) Lagoon. In 1798, Mission San Luis Rey was founded and the area became
part of the mission lands. In 1842, 21 years after Mexican independence from Spain and 9 years after the missions were secularized, the 13,000 + acre Rancho Agua Hedionda (original name San Francisco)
and the 4,341 acre Las Encinitas Rancho were granted.
In 1881 the California Southern Railroad reached the area and dry farming took over from cattle grazing
as the main industry. The Lafayette Tunnison homestead established in 1882, was purchased by John
Frazier in 1883. While drilling for irrigation water he intercepted a mineral water spring. The fame of
the curative powers of the water spread and Frazier's Station became a destination for travelers. In
1886, the Carlsbad Land and Mineral Company was formed which laid out a townsite and speculative

Cultural1 Resource Guidelines
The City of Carlsbad has developed guidelines for the treatment of cultural resources. These guide\
were adopted in 1990 and conform with City, State and Federal laws and with the Secretary of
Interior’s Standards for Archaeology and Historic Preservation for Planning, Identification,
Evaluation. The guidelines establish a standard of performance for investigations of cultural resoui
and present a systematic method of preserving them. These guidelines pertain to cultural resoui
from the prehistoric through historic periods and are implemented during compliance with the Califo
Environmental Quality Act.
For sites identified as important cultural resources according to CEQA criteria, potential advl
impacts must be addressed. Adverse impacts would be significant if the site which will be impac

Historic Preservation Commission
City Ordinance 9776 was enacted in 1985 establishing an Historic Preservation Commission to advise
the City Council, Planning Commission, and Design Review Board "in all matters relating to the
identification, protection, retention, and preservation of historic areas and sites within the City. " As
part of the environmental review of development projects affecting historic structures, archaeological
or paleontological sites, as shown on the adopted historic resources inventory or as identified in the
environmental study, the environmental documents shall be referred to the historic preservation
commission for review. The commission may review and comment upon the environmental documents
of the referral within the public review time limits established by the California Environmental Quality
Act.
The duties of the Commission also include providing advice to the City Council on the following
matters: criteria for guidelines to be used in a comprehensive historic survey of properties within the
City; the designation of historic landmarks or historic districts; sites and areas to be considered for
listing on Carlsbad's historic resources inventory; the hiring of staff or consultants to conduct a
comprehensive survey of properties within the boundaries of the City to identify historical sites and
areas; the adoption of standards to be used by the commission in reviewing applications for permits
to construct, change, alter, modify, remodel, remove, or significantly affect any historic area or site;
the purchase of interests in property for purposes of historic preservation; and, participation in and the
promotion and dissemination of public information, education and interpretive programs pertaining to
historical areas and sites.
5.8.2 Basis for Determinina Sianificance
The project will have potentially significant impacts if it will:
1. Disrupt or adversely affect a prehistoric or historic archaeological site or a property of historical
or cultural significance to a community or ethnic or social group.
Conflict with established recreational, educational, religious, or scientific uses of the area. 2.
Carlsbad Municipal Code, Chapter 22.06, considers a cultural resource important when:
1. It exemplifies or reflects special elements of the city's cultural, social, economic, political,
aesthetic, engineering, or architectural history;
It is identified with persons or events significant in local, state, or national history;
It embodies distinctive characteristics of a style, type, period, or method of construction, is a
valuable example of the use of indigenous materials or craftsmanship, or is representative of
a notable work of an acclaimed builder, designer, or architect;

5.9 NOISE I 5.9.1 - Environmental Setting
Noise is usually defined as unwanted sound. The noise environment in the City of Carlsbac
characteirized by various levels of natural, man-made, and mechanical noise generated from airboi
mobile, and stationary sources. The majority of noise in the City is generated by mobile sourL
including airport-related noise, railroad-generated noise, and noise generated by the freeways and ot
circulation roadways. Also, noise is generated from urbanized uses, especially in the industrial arc
of the City concentrated around McClellan Palomar Airport; in the Village where land use densities i
intensities are moderate to high; and around the regional shopping center. Noise generation is minil
or limited in the exclusively residential portions of the City, and in rural or undeveloped areas.
Community noise levels are measured in terms of intensity and duration. The basic unit used
express intensity is the decibel (dB). By using decibels, noise can be described in a numerical rai
of 0 dB to 140 dB. This range is from the softest sound we can sense to a painfully damaging 11
sound. Decibels arle generally weighted to correct for the relative frequency response of the hun
ear. For example, an A-weighted noise level de-emphasizes high frequencies of sound that are he
by a dog, but not by a human. The normal range of noise levels we experience on a day-to-day b:
ranges from 30 dBA to 110 dBA. Noise in the Community Noise Impact Range (40 dBA to 85 dk
can cause temporary physiological and/or psychological effects. Noise is considered a "stressor" i
may have serious irnplications in stress-related ailments. Substantial noise can interfere with spet
communication and disrupt sleep. Table 5.9-1 : Typical Sound Levels in dBA, illustrates many of '
sounds that we experience on a daily basis.
The predominant noise measures are the noise Equivalent Level (Leql, the Community Noise Equivalr
Level (CNEL) and the Day-Night Average (Ldn), which are based on A-weighted decibels. The City
Carlsbad utilizes CNEL to measure noise levels within the community. The CNEL carry weight
penalties for noises that occur during evening hours from 7:OO p.m. to 1O:OO p.m. and at night frl
1O:OO p.m. to 7:OO a.m. of 5 and 10, respectively. Thus, the CNEL represents the daily no
exposure averaged on daily and annual basis.
Significant Noise Sources
Two typts of noise sources are considered in the City of Carlsbad: mobile sources and station;
sources. Mobile sources are typically transportation-related and include automobiles, aircraft, trail
trucks, motorcycles, buses, off-road vehicles, and boats. Stationary sources of noise are geners
those sources that are generated by specific land uses and may include industrial and commerc
operations, construction activity, farming operations, concert halls, outdoor sporting events, lo
stereos, and barking dogs. The noise sources that are considered most significant in the City
Carlsbad are mobile sources of noise. However, stationary sources such as, commercial and industi
activities contribute to the City's ambient noise levels. The following is a discussion of the signific:
sources of noise.

Airport and have been included in this EIR (See Map 5.9-1:
Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) for McClellan-Palomar Airport is to be a long-range master

updated every five years, that reflects anticipated growth for the airport for at least the next tw
(20) years. A review of current land uses under the General Plan update shows little noise impac
existing uses.
Stationary Sources of Noise
Commercial and Industrial Uses
The prirnary stationary noise sources are commercial and industrial land uses. Commercial
industrial land uses that may generate noise in the community consist of private businesses
provide a wide range of services in the community, These potential noise generating services incl
the motorcycle raceway; automobile repair and service shops; manufacturing, warehousing,
distributing operations; a sand and gravel extraction and processing facility; airplane and helico
service i3nd repair lacilities; outdoor dining establishments; recycling facilities; and other busines
Sensitive Receptor!;
Sensitive noise receptors are, in general, areas of habitation where the intrusion of noise has
potential to impact adversely the occupancy, use or enjoyment of the environment. Sensitive recep
include, but are not limited to, residences, schools, parks, motels, hotels, public meeting roo
churches, libraries, and hospitals. The City of Carlsbad considers residential uses particularly sensi
to noise intrusion because residents are expected to use their homes for rest and relaxation, in wl
higher levels of noise may interfere.
Noise Standards
The compatibility OF various land uses with noise is an important consideration in the land use plan1
and design process. Some land uses are more sensitive to the impacts of unwanted sound or ni
than are others. For example, schools, hospitals, churches and residences are generally considc
more sensitive to noise intrusion than are commercial or industrial activities. Table 5.9-2: Land
Compatibility for Community Noise Environments, shows the general guidelines for acceptable nc
exposures for existing and proposed land uses in the City of Carlsbad. The Land Use Compatib
Chart is included in1 the Carlsbad Noise Guidelines Manual. The chart is used as a guide by the (
to determine the potential compatibility of land uses within a certain noise environment. Guideli
for both sensitive land uses and those uses considered less sensitive are provided.

The City of Carlsbad does not have a comprehensive noise ordinance. However, Chapter 1
of the Carisbad klunicipal Code (CMC) regulates noise from animals, and Chapter 8.28 oi
(CMC) regulates noise emanating from motor vehicles and Chapter 8.48 of the Carl:
Municipal Code, Limits Hours of Construction. The City does enforce California Penal C
Section 41 5 when annoying noise occurs.
Existing Noise Lewels
To assist in the assessment of existing conditions, noise levels were measured. Noise measurem
were taken at 23 locations throughout the City of Carlsbad. Criteria for site selection inch
geographic distribution, land uses suspected of noisy activities and, proximity to transports
facilities. Measurements represent motor vehicle noise from Interstate 5, State Route 78, and
Circulation Element roadway network. Sensitive receptor locations monitored both single-family
multiple-family residential units. The average noise level in a typical residential area, during the
is 48.8 dBA. For a typical multiple-family area the noise level is 50.1 dBA. The areas with the hig
noise levels are coimmercial land use areas, where the typical levels during the day are approxim:
65 dBA and about 53 dBA at night. These noise levels are considered slightly low for a commL
the size of Carlsbad (R-1). In general, existing residential areas located in the Carlsbad Village a
the freeways, prime arterials and major arterials are subject to noise levels in excess of those permi
by current City policy for new development.
Noise contours which depict existing noise levels for mobile noise sources including airport,
freeway, prime arterials, major arterials, and collector streets, are presented in Map 5.9-2: Exi:

The General Plan update will result in the development of additional dwelling units and additi
square feet of non-residential floor area in the City. This additional development will result ii
increase in traffic, and an increase in the associated noise levels in the City.
The City's noise contour data were prepared by Nolte and Associates using the Federal High?
Adminislration's (FHWA) methodology for vehicle noise prediction, as modified for CNEL,
CALVENO energy curves which represent the noise output of typical California motor vehicles.
purposes of developing Citywide noise contours, topographic or structural barrier influences on n
levels were not included in the noise model. See Appendix J for 1990 and 201 0 noise contour d
The roadways that were modeled included all Circulation Element roadways. The results of the n
model were used to construct projected noise contours for the year 201 0. Map 5.9-3: Future N
Exposure Contours, shows the projected noise contours.
The contours depict an increase in noise levels along most Circulation Element roadways.
distances to CNEL contour for these roadways are given in Appendix I. These data represent
distances from the centerline of the road to the contour value shown. Future residential sites 1
levels above 65 CNEL adjacent to freeways, state highways, prime arterials, airport, or rail corri
and future residential sites with roadway noise levels above 60 CNEL adjacent to all other Circula
Element roadways, will be required to mitigate noise levels to meet the City noise standard. Distb
from roadway centerline to the 60 CNEL contour will increase along Interstate 5, SR 78, Alga Rc
Camino Vida Roble, Carlsbad Boulevard, College Boulevard, El Camino Real, El Fuerte, Carlsbad Vi1
Drive, Olivenhain Road, Palomar Airport Road, Poinsettia Lane, Rancho Santa Fe Road, and Tamai
Avenue. The 60 CINEL contour will extend beyond the road right-of-way and into adjacent land i
in most instances. Existing and planned noise-sensitive land uses existing adjacent to these roadw
may be exposed to noise levels above City, State, and Federal standards. With proper site des
planned residential land uses can accommodate residential development and be compatible with
City's exterior noise standard. Mitigation through project redesign and construction or a noise bai
(berm, wall, or combination berm/wall), are the most common ways of alleviating traffic and rail nc
impacts. For existing noise-sensitive uses noise mitigation is difficult. The City will continue to v\
with residents to identify ways to reduce noise in their neighborhoods and will assist in formula
several assessment districts to pay for noise barriers. Impacts on existing noise sensitive uses

Environmental Impact RewH CITY OF CARLSBAD
Construction Noise
Construction noise will be generated as development according to the updated General Plan proceeds.
Construction noise is a short-term impact on ambient noise levels. Noise generated by construction
equipment and construction activities can reach high levels. Enforcement of the City of Carlsbad Noise
Ordinance that limits the hours of construction to normal weekday working hours should minimize any
potential impacts.
5.9.4 Level of Simificance
Although aircraft noise impact on incompatible uses can be reduced, it cannot be eliminated. Both the
Noise Element and the Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) for the Airport are designed to mitigate
the effects of aircraft noise from the Airport. When implemented, they will have beneficial impacts
on the aircraft noise environment, reducing impacts to less than significant. Traffic noise will increase
as the City approaches buildout. These noise impacts can be reduced with proper design and
mitigation. Increased rail service through the City will result in increased noise levels along the rail
corridor. Noise impacts on new development can be mitigated through proper design.
5.9.5 Mithation Measures
The following mitigation measures will serve to reduce impacts from implementation of the proposed
General Plan to less than significant:
1. Control harmful or undesirable sounds through the planning and regulatory process with
emphasis on noise/land use compatibility planning. (Noise Element, General, C. 1 .I
Review all development proposals, both public and private, for consistency with the policies
of the Noise Element. (Noise Element, General, C.2.)
Continue to enforce building codes to ensure adequate sound insulation between dwellings and
to ensure adequate sound insulation of interior areas from loud external noise sources. The
City shall continue to enforce project conditions of 'approval related to noise control. (Noise
Element, General, C.4.)
Periodically review the noise contours contained in the Noise Element. Substantial changes in
traffic patterns or the availability of new noise contour data may indicate the need for
revisions. (Noise Element, General, C.8.)
Require the use of project design techniques, such as, increasing the distance between the
noise source and the receiver; placing non-noise sensitive uses such as parking areas,
maintenance facilities, and utility areas between the source and the receiver; using non-
sensitive structures, such as a garage, to shield outdoor spaces from a noise source to
minimize noise impacts during any discretionary review of a residential or other noise sensitive
project. (Noise Element, Land Use, C.3.)
Enforce the policy of the City that sixty (60) dBA CNEL is the exterior noise level to which all
residential units should be mitigated. Sixty-five (65) dBA CNEL is the maximum noise level to
which residential units subject to noise from McClellan-Palomar Airport should be permitted.
Additional disclosure actions (easements, deed restrictions, recorded notice, etc. 1 may be
required of developers/sellers of noise impacted residential units.

5.10.1 -1 - Environmental Settinq
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has designated portions of the City as b
within 1 OO-year flood zones. These zones are mostly limited to the floodways of the major drain;
leading 'to the three coastal lagoons of the City: Buena Vista, Agua Hedionda and Batiquitos Lago
The 1 OO-year flood areas are shown on Map 5.1 0.1-1 : Carlsbad 1 OO-Year Flood Boundaries
addition, the areas subject to flooding within Carlsbad are noted and mapped as Special Flood Ha
Areas 01-1 the City's Zoning Map. Any development in these areas must be approved by a Special
Permit (SUP). The coastal edge of the City is subject to coastal processes in the form of sea
erosion, storm wave related shoreline impacts (requiring seawalls for protection of residences
public infrastructure) and episodic storm surges that can overtop the barrier beach in front of P
Hedionda Lagoon.
Catastrophic dam failure mapping has been prepared for the City of Carlsbad, see Map 5.10.1-2: I
Failure Inundation/Tsunami and Seiche Map. This map is based on engineering and hydrology stu
performled mostly during the 1970's. Since that time, some existing conditions, such as topograi
have been modified. Where significant changes in topography or other conditions have occurred s
the original studies were performed, the inundation zones were revised to reflect the most curl
conditions. The primary zones of inundation reflect water flows from Squires Dam, Lake Calavi
Encinitas Creek and the San Marcos Creek drainage.
A tsunaimi is a sea wave generated by offshore submarine seismic disturbance such as earthqui
landslide or volcanic activity. A seiche is a periodic oscillation in a water body, such as a lagooi
lake, and can be caused by tsunamis, earthquakes, submarine landslides, storm winds or baromc
disturbances. Whiile Carlsbad is a coastal city with three coastal lagoons, the tsunami and sei
hazards are very low. Only small-scale tsunamis and seiche have historically occurred in Carlst
The tsunamis and seiche have caused mostly unperceivable water level variations and they have
endangered people or propeny. Map 5.10.1-2: Dam Failure Inundation and Tsunami/Seiche Art

5.10.1.3 Environmental ImDact
Buildout of the City and implementation of the General Plan will not significantly increase flood hazards
because the flood prone areas of the City are mapped as Special Flood Hazard Areas. All development
in these areas must be approved through a SUP which requires compliance with the City's Floodplain
Management Regulations (Chapter 21.1 18 of the Zoning Ordinance). In addition, General Plan Land
Use Element and Public Safety Element policies are intended to avoid locating dwellings or development
near natural hazards such as floodway and inundation zones.
The source of hazards from dams are of three major types: (1 ) failure of the dam structure during a
seismic event; (2) overtopping caused by a landslide into a reservoir; and (3) seiching. The State
Department of Water Resources is responsible for the safety of dams in California, other than those
federally owned. At present, based on available information, implementation of the updated General
Plan will not increase hazards related to dams (R-1).
The risk of tsunamis in Southern California is very low and there is not a significant increase in this risk
by the implementation of the Carlsbad General Plan. The General Plan Public Safety Element has
policies intended to minimize impacts from these types of hazards.
5.10.1.4 Level of Sianificance
Adoption and implementation of the General Plan will not result in significant impacts to public health
and safety as related to risk of upset.
5.10.1.5 Mitisation Measures
Implementation of the updated General Plan will result in no risk of upset impacts and no mitigation
is required.

5.10.2.1 - Environmental Settinq
Human health is affected by the existence of any health hazard in close proximity to a population.
can occur by the creation of a previously non-existent hazard in a populated area, or the attractic
people 1t0 an area of an existing hazard by a project. Section 5.10.1, Risk of Upset, is closely re1
to this section because human health and risk of upset are interdependent environmental issues.
Fire Hazards
The widespread distribution of natural brush vegetation in Carlsbad creates a potential for wild
fires. Fire hazards are described in conjunction with fire protection services, Section 5.1 2.5,
Protection. The effect of the General Plan on fire hazards is also assessed in Section 5.1 2.5.
McClellan-Palomar Airport
McClellan-Palomar Airport is located approximately four miles southeast of the Carlsbad Village A
This County owned and operated facility is a major general aviation facility for northern San Di
County. The San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) is responsible for preparing
Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) for the area surrounding the airport. The CLUP designates
land around the airport and extending to the east and west of the runway as the Airport Influe
Area. This area could experience noise levels exceeding the California State Noise Standards
require height restrictions to prevent obstruction of navigable air space. Within the Airport lnflue
Area there are also Clear Zones which are areas at either ends of the runway over which aircraft rr
pass. Clear Zones are owned by the county and land uses are restricted. Flight Activity Zones
located at the east and west ends of the runway and are areas within the Influence Area which
intended to be kept free of intensive development and all uses which include assembly of large gro
of people (R-1 1.

I Oil Spills
The City of Carlsbad could be affected by coastline oil spills although this is unlikely due to the limi
tanker traffic adjacent to the coastline. The U.S. Coast Guard has responsibility for clean-up operati
in conjunction with the State Lands Commission and the California Department of Fish and Game. -
San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E) Encina Power Plant on Carlsbad Boulevard is the only busin
in Carlsbad that has direct delivery from ocean oil tankers. This facility accepts oil deliveries fr
approximately four tankers and three barges annually. Deliveries have lessened over the last dec
due to the increased use of natural gas rather than oil. The Coast Guard and the Department of t
and Game monitor oil transfer, cleanup operations and annual oil boom deployment exercises. SDG
maintains oil transfer emergency response equipment, including a 1 1 O-foot oil spill response ves
with containment booms, skimming equipment, oil storage capacity and absorbent materials; moor
assistance vessels, divers and safety personnel. This equipment is available to the City of Carlst

Electro-Magnetic Fields
Electro magnetic fields (EMF) are generated by electrical current passing through wires. High-voltage
transmission lines, low-voltage distribution lines, substations, electrical service vaults, and household
appliances all generate EMFs. Although there has been a great deal of scientific discussion, it has not
been conclusively established whether or not EMFs are harmful to human health (R-2, R-3).
Hazardous Materials
Approximately seventy-five percent of registered hazardous substances in the City are located at gas
stations and auto-related businesses. All gas stations are located on land which is commercially
designated on the General Plan. Smaller scale auto service uses such as body shops and repair shops
are generally located along State Street. Other small scale uses such as dry cleaners, medicaVdental
offices and veterinary clinics utilize and produce extremely small quantities of hazardous materials and
waste annually and are also distributed again largely through the City's commercially designated land
use areas.
The larger-scale use of hazardous materials is well defined in the community, and is restricted primarily
to industrially allocated land in business parks surrounding the airport and west of Interstate 5 along
Avenida Encinas. The majority of these uses are either related to semi-conductor production, or the
biotech industry. Additionally, small scale aviation-related business (which may, for example, store
aviation fuel) are also located near the airport. The only industrial business operating on land without
an industrial General Plan designation is the South Coast Asphalt Company, located on Haymar Road.
This business utilizes quarrying and road surfacing materials.
Utilities, such as SDG&E and Encina Water Pollution Control Facility, use some hazardous materials in
their operations but they do not directly manufacture or dispose of hazardous materials as their primary
purpose. These sites are designated Public Utility on the General Plan and Zoning Map (R-4) (R-15).
There are two former waste disposal sites located within the City. The first site is adjacent to the
south side of McClellan-Palomar Airport. This site was used for disposal of household waste between
1962 and 1975. No hazardous materials have been identified at the site, and it is currently being
closed and capped by the County of San Diego in accordance with Title 14 of the California Code of
Regulations. The second site is located in the far northeastern corner of the City. This site was also
used for the burning of municipal waste. It has not been operational since 1961 and has since been
redeveloped (R-17).
There are no known illegal dumps with hazardous matvials within the City of Carlsbad (R-18).
Household Hazardous Materials And Waste
Household hazardous materials include substances such as, cleaners, paint products, automotive
products, hobby products and other toxic substances found around the home. These substances are
distributed in substantial quantities throughout the community. In Carlsbad, 97,807 pounds of
household hazardous waste were disposed of at collection events in 1992 (R-7).
Transoortation
Transportation of hazardous materials is overseen by the County of San Diego Department of Health
Services. Hazardous Waste must be transported only by registered hazardous waste haulers to state-
permitted treatment, storage or disposal facilities. Detailed manifests are required to be kept of these

Agriculitural chemical use in Carlsbad has changed in recent years due to increases in cher
regulation and changes of crop types. Certain hazardous chemicals known to be potentially har
to public health such as chlorinated hydrocarbons have been restricted.
The organic pesticides currently used in agricultural areas in Carlsbad, are generally bio-degradable
break down relatively easily into elemental constituents), have short-term decomposition rates, am
relatively safe to the general public and the environment. Previously used agricultural chemicals .
as DDT and chlorinated hydrocarbons are also bio-degradable; but their rate of decompositia
extremely slow, and detectable levels are present in the soil for many years after their applical
Varying trace amounts of these materials can probably be found in most of the City's currently
previously used agricultural areas and they may pose public health risks, where they are in
conceni rations.
In addition to pesticides, other chemicals are used in the local agricultural industry such as herbici
fungicides, insecticides, and miticides, all of which have varying degrees of toxicity degradation,
prevalence in the environment.
In the past, to ensure proper application of chemicals, growers were required to file Pesticide
Reports with the California Department of Food and Agriculture (DFA) detailing the use of cei
Restrictled Materials. Non-restricted chemicals did not require a Use Permit. Recently the State
required that all pesticide use now be reported to the Director of Food and Agriculture. Accordin
County records, various restricted and non-restricted chemicals are currently being used in agricull
areas throughout Carlsbad. The San Diego County Department of Agriculture Weights and Measl
and the California Department of Food and Agriculture are responsible for regulating safe applica
of these agricultural chemicals. Agricultural chemicals are stored generally in storage facilities at
agricultural site, within farm buildings or in greenhouses. I Disaster Preparedness
In addition to the regulatory and preventative measures described above, the City has adopted the 1
of Carlslbad Emergency Plan. This plan has been prepared in conjunction with the Unified San Di
County Emergency Services Organization (USDCESO) and addresses the City's planned respons
extraordinary emergency situations associated with any type of natural disaster, technological incid
or State of War emergency. The plan combines flexible disaster response with use of City facili
and personnel and agreements for use of facilities in other cities. The City of Carlsbad periodic
conducts emergency simulation exercises to maintain the effectiveness of the response organizal
and refine the implementation of the plan.

McClellan-Palomar Airport
As noted above under "setting" the McClellan-Palomar Airport is regulated by the Comprehensive Land
Use Plan (CLUP) adopted in October 1986. The CLUP is a State required long range master plan,
updated every five years, intended "to provide for the orderly growth of each public airport and ..... [to1
safeguard the general welfare of the inhabitants within the vicinity of the airport and the public in
general" (Section 21675 , Public Utility Code). The CLUP contains building height controls, noise
contours and land use controls in this regard. Since the updated General Plan is consistent with the
CLUP (as required by State law), significant public health hazards have been precluded. The land uses
and policies established by the General Plan are consistent with the CLUP. Because the CLUP is
designed to minimize public safety hazards and the General Plan conforms to the CLUP, implementation
of the General Plan will not create significant public health hazards related to operation of the airport.
Oil Spills
As noted above, the Encina SDG&E plant is the only facility in Carlsbad to take delivery of oil from the
ocean. No amendments to the "U" (Public Utilities) designation are contemplated which would effect
the SDG&E facility. On-shore oil and gas facilities are allowed in the Heavy Commercial - Limited
Industrial Zone (CM), the Industrial Zone (M) and the Planned Industrial Zone (PM). However, there
are no such uses presently within the City. Factors which could lead to the development of such
facilities, such as nearby oil fields or large port facilities, are not present in Carlsbad. There are
performance standards within these zones which would ensure that if such development is proposed,
that they would be compatible with existing and planned surrounding uses and that they would not
constitute a public health, safety or welfare hazard. Additionally, Federal and State regulation of these
types of uses would also ensure that they would not result in significantly adverse environmental
impacts.
Electro Magnetic Fields
As noted above under Environmental Setting, there has been much scientific debate on this topic, but
it as not been established whether EMFs are harmful to human health or not. The General Plan
recommends monitoring research in this field as well as the regulatory proposals of Federal and State
health and environmental agencies. Currently, however, it has not been demonstrated that there is
a significant environmental impact from EMFs.
Hazardous Materials
The General Plan will allow for a further 11,735 gross acres of planned industrially designated land.
Incrementally, this could result in an increase in the amount of users of hazardous materials. Significant
adverse public health impacts from increased hazardous materials use will be precluded by regulatory
control. The City of Carlsbad employs a coordinated and cooperative approach between many
agencies and regulations. In some instances, the City incorporates other agency's regulations, since
they provide an effective means of control. In other cases, the City does not have the prime
responsibility to regulate but assists the lead agency in this role. At least sixteen different agencies
regulate hazardous materials. The following agencies have major roles in hazardous materials
management in San Diego County and Carlsbad: (R-8) (R-14).

Environmental ImRact ReRort
The County Hazardous Waste Management Plan (HWMP) policies stress source reduction as the
preferred method of waste minimization and lists strategies for a vigorous waste minimization program.
The HWMP also contains criteria for determining the location of hazardous waste facilities, however,
the final determination of the suitability of a particular location is made by the City of Carlsbad, on a
case by case basis, by a siting analysis and environmental review. This also applies to facilities
handling hazardous substances in general. Carlsbad's General Plan calls for compliance with this plan
as a goal (R-8).
The majority of operations handling hazardous substances are located on land with a General Plan
designation of Planned Industrial. The industrial section of the Land Use Element requires that
industrial development occur with "desirable environmental quality standards" and that industrial land
uses be regulated "on the basis of performance standards ..." (R-19). Such policies minimize the
potential adverse impacts of hazardous substances on humans.
The City's General Plan land use designations and implementing zoning are designed to separate
incompatible uses, such as residences and industries. Additionally, the City's zoning ordinance
contains development standards which regulate the operation of certain uses including those with
hazardous waste or materials. Small scale users and producers of hazardous materials and of
hazardous wastes (e.g. body shops, auto repair shops) may also be located in commercially designated
and zoned sites. Federal, State, and County authorities regulate the operation of these particular uses
as noted above.
The General Plan proposes no new waste disposal sites within the City of Carlsbad, and there are no
proposed changes in the location of existing potential sites for hazardous material users.
Specified hazardous waste disposal and treatment facilities in Carlsbad are subject to a Conditional Use
Permit. Prior to approval of such a Conditional Use Permit the City must make findings of compliance
with sections of the HWMP. These sections provide siting and operating criteria which aim to protect
residents (R-8). Any such hazardous waste facilities would be restricted to industrially zoned land in
the City, and after applying the siting criteria only a very limited portion of the City's industrially
designated land (around the airport) would be available for locating such uses. In addition, State Law
(Section 65850.2 of the Government Codel requires that applicants disclose, upon submittal of an
application to the City, whether or not specified hazardous materials will be used in a proposed project.
This law also prohibits the City from issuing a certificate of occupancy where a project, if required by
law, does not comply with applicable sections of the Health and Safety Code.
Household Hazardous Materials
The purpose of the San Diego County's household hazardous waste program is to educate residents
about the hazards associated with the use, storage and improper disposal of household chemicals and
to provide convenient disposal alternatives for household hazardous wastes, including collection
events. Such education and collection events are coordinated in and around the City of Carlsbad. The
City adopted the Household Hazardous Waste Element (1 991 ) which embraces the objectives of the
County program. In addition to education and periodic collection services, the City also offers a
permanent facility, to collect automotive waste (R-12). While implementation of the General Plan will
increase residential uses and related household hazardous materials, continuation of the County
program will minimize the associated public safety impact.

Agriculltural Chemical Residue
Large aireas of land in the City, currently and previously used for agriculture, are designatec
developlment on the General Plan. Remedial measures will be necessary in those locations w
human health may be significantly affected by current or past use of agricultural chemicals.
Restricted chemicals used in Carlsbad prior to the establishment of current Federal and I regulations could pose a significant health risk if soil levels exceed allowable concentrations.
County of San Diego Department of Health Services produces a list of hazardous agricul
substances together and application rates. None of the Chemicals listed on this table are currenl
use in the City, but may have been used previously. Due to the differing decomposition rates tl
chemicals are likely to be found in the soil in agricultural locations throughout Carlsbad. The d
application of chemicals, according to Federal regulations and State regulations, over a large i
would result in extremely low soil contamination because chemicals are absorbed more readily
diffuse fairly rapidly into the soil. In some handling or storage areas, however, soil contamination c
exist because of the larger quantities and higher concentrations involved and potential for accidc
spills or mishandling. Remedial measures should be used where soil testing detects these hazarc
chemicals at levels which would have significantly adverse effects on human health.
It is difficult to identify potentially contaminated areas in Carlsbad due to lack of documentation. F to the late 1970s-early 1980s, records such as Pesticide Use Reports were not required to be kep
growers. Therefore, with this lack of information it must be assumed that soil contamination may I-
occurred in all agricultural areas due to the application, handling, storage, or dumping of potent
toxic or restricted agricultural chemicals. Presently, no illegal dumping sites are known. Prior to fu
developiment, soil testing should occur. The bottom of natural canyons, mixing and loading ar
illegal trash dump sites, or near piped water sources, such as abandoned irrigation lines are pos: soil contamination sites. These sites could be identified from old aerial photographs which st
former agricultural structures or chemical handling, storage facilities.
Land Use lncomeatibilities
As development proceeds within the City, conflicts associated with spraying, irrigation runoff,
odors may arise between adjacent agricultural operations and residential uses. Adequate buffer
design measures, or possible modification of certain agricultural practices, should be used to pro
future residential development areas within Carlsbad from possible health affects.
Disaster Preparedness -
The buildout of the updated General Plan update will add approximately 25,389 new residential ui
and 45.6 million square feet of non-residential uses. The disaster preparedness plan is designed tc
flexible enough to respond to any type of natural disaster. Implementation of the plan is designec
be refined after periodic emergency simulation exercises and based on this it should automaticall)
adjusted to accommodate the increased growth of the City and preclude any future significar
adverse effects on public health.

Human Health will potentially be impacted by the development of planned residential uses on si

1. The Land Use Element shall be modified to incorporate the following mitigation measures:
a. Prior to the approval of discretionary permits within an existing or former agricultural
area in Carlsbad, a detailed soils testing and analysis report shall be prepared by a

If use of agricultural chemicals within an existing agricultural operation have the
potential to adversely impact a proposed residential development on an adjacent parcel,
mitigation measures including, but not limited to, physical barriers and or separation
between the uses should be considered.

5.10.3.1
Light arid glare from almost all sources will impact a surrounding area. Glare is generally describG
being either primary or secondary. Primary glare pertains to glare caused by a direct light SOI
whereas secondary glare is a form of reflected light. Glare becomes a safety hazard when it res1
the vision of drivers either during the day or at night. Primary sources of light and glare in Carl
include lighting for roadways, parking lots, exterior security lighting, illuminated signage, public si
field ligihting, interior lighting from within residences and businesses, headlights from motor vehi
and runway lighting for Palomar Airport.
The predominant areas of the City where light and glare is significant include those areas immedii
adjacent to and along major roadways. The roadways include El Camino Real, Palomar Airport R
Rancho Santa Fe Road, Carlsbad Boulevard, Carlsbad Village Drive, Alga Road, La Costa Avenue,
Olivenhain Road. Public sports field lighting and the runway lighting for Palomar Airport can also CI
significant light and glare.
Traffic, street lights, public sports field lighting and businesses all contribute to the problems of t
light and glare. While adequate lighting is necessary for traffic safety, nighttime sports events, air
operations, advertising, and night activities, glare can adversely affect adjacent residences
undeveloped wilderness areas. Glare can also pose a safety hazard by restricting the vision of dri\
5.10.3.2
The project will have potentially significant impacts if it will produce intrusive glare effects, inter
operations of a light sensitive use, or include lighting that will shine onto adjacent properties.
5.10.3.3 - Environmental ImDact
Light emission and glare reflectance will be increased by the generation of additional vehicle tra
construction of new roads with required street lights, and the development of additional park facil
with sports field lighting. The construction of new non-residential development with associated ligl
parking lots will also increase the amount of light and glare in the City. The Carlsbad Zoning Ordin:
contains performance standards and development standards for exterior lighting. These standl
currently apply to office and industrial land uses. All signage within the City is subject to
provisions of the Carlsbad Sign Ordinance which regulates the lighting of signs so as to prevent he;
safety cr welfare impacts to the surrounding neighborhood.

The following mitigation measures are required to reduce significant impacts to less than significant:
Ensure that the review of future projects places a high priority on the compatibility of adjacent
land uses along the interface of different density categories. Special attention should be given
to buffering and transitional methods, especially, when reviewing properties where different
residential densities or land uses are involved. (Land Use Element, Overall Land Use Pattern,

Control nuisance factors (noise, smoke, dust, odor and glare) and do not permit them to exceed
city, state and federal standards. (Land Use Element, Industrial, C.12.)
Require adequate buffers between new development and environmentally sensitive habitats.
(Open Space and Conservation Element, Special Resource Protection, C.27.)
Consider housing density, proximity to schools, general public access, local resident access,
adjacent residential area traffic impacts, safe pedestrian access, and compatible use with the
surrounding environment when determining park locations. (Parks and Recreation Element,

5.1 1.1 - Erivironmental Settinq
The Cily of Carlsbad is comprised of a diverse and scenic landscape including rugged coastal t:
along the Pacific Ocean, several expansive low lying coastal lagoons (Buena Vista, Agua Hedionda
Batiquitosl, and numerous valleys and small canyons surrounded by rolling foothills. Currently,
expanses of open space, unchanged by urban expansion, exist in the eastern and southern portil
the City. The aesthetic quality of the City is characterized by many components that creat
aesthetically pleasing mixture of natural and urban landforms. These components include a na
environment of diverse landforms, rock outcrops, plants and animal resources, natural colors and I
and panoramic piiblic views of the horizon, foothills, lagoons, and the Pacific Ocean. The
environment incluldes historic buildings, fields of colorful flowers during certain seasons of the !
landscaping, signage, and works of art.
There irj no dominant architectural theme throughout the City, however, there is a concentratic
older Victorian style structures in the northwestern portion of the City and many Spanish and Web
Ranch :style buildings in the southeastern portion of the City. The industrial corridor in the ce
portion of the City, located around the airport, is characterized by large industrial parks nestled
the hills with a variety of glass/concrete office, manufacturing, and warehouse buildings.
In 1988, the City prepared Scenic Corridor Guidelines to identify roadways and transportation ro
within the City of Caflsbad to be designated as scenic corridors, and to suggest methods to pres
and enhance the character of those corridors (See Map 5.1 1-1 : Scenic Corridor Location N
Transportation routes with potential corridor status are identified and described in Table 5.1 1-1 : Scl
Corridors. Currently, El Carnino Real is the only designated scenic roadway within the City for wl

5.1 1.3 - Environmental lmoacts
Through implementation of the updated Carlsbad General Plan, additional development in the forn
cut and fill slopes, roads, buildings, sound attenuation walls, and landscaping will occur through
the City. Conversion of vacant undeveloped land to urban uses will result in changes to the exisl
topography and the removal of existing trees and native vegetation. Vacant hills, ridges, canyons,
property adjacent to lagoons may be graded and developed with roads, residential, commercial
industrial structures. Structures may be developed along existing rural roadways, thus changing
rural character of some areas of the City. - e AESTHETICS 5.1 1-

There are public views of the Pacific Ocean and the three lagoons from the various public roads within
the Coastal Zone. As the City continues to urbanize, development will also occur in these coastal
areas. Urban development along the coast and in close proximity to the City's lagoons may create a
potential for visual impacts to significant public viewsheds. Adherence to coastal policies concerning
public view preservation and public access contained in the City's Local Coastal Program will help
reduce any negative visual aesthetic impacts created by future physical development.
In addition, development along the City's scenic corridors may include graded cut or fill slopes,
ornamental landscaping, and the construction of various types of buildings and site improvements,
including parking areas and driveways. Potential impacts to the City's scenic corridors are summarized
in Table 5.1 1-1.
Although existing landforms would be altered and the rural and agricultural character of some areas
within the City would be affected, the changes in aesthetic character are not considered a significant
visual impact. Potential impacts will be precluded by fully implementing all relevant General Plan policy
guidelines and action programs, adopted City ordinances, and other planning programs. This includes
consistency and compliance with the following policies, guidelines, ordinances, and programs:
Carlsbad Municipal Code Title 21.53 and California Environmental Quality Act - Preservation
of steep slopes (40% or greater) and other environmentally constrained areas (i.e wetlands,
and floodways).

Implementation of the General Plan will cause an increase in the demand for electricity and natural gas.
Larger projects generally require greater amounts of natural gas and/or electricity. However, specific
development proposals will ultimately determine the types of systems and amounts of energy needed.
Individual project analysis will be required to determine exact natural gas and electricity impacts as
specific development projects are submitted to the City. AI1 new housing projects will be required to
implement energy conservation measures according to Building Code, Title 20, Chapter 17 of the

5.12.2.1 - Environmental Settinq
San Diego County is a semi-arid region with very limited surface and groundwater supplies. Less
ten percent of the County's water supply is provided locally and the remaining water supply is impc (R-1 I. 1Zarlsbad is serviced by three water districts: the Carlsbad Municipal Water District (CM\
the Vallecitos Waxer District (VWD), and the Olivenhain Municipal Water District (OMWD). Ch
services 54,000 people and covers eighty-five percent of the City's land area. The other two dist
service 4,171 peoiple within the southeastern portion of City (R-2). The district boundaries are sh
in Map 5.1 2.2-1 : City of Carlsbad Water Districts.
The three water districts purchase imported water from the San Diego County Water Authority
in turn relies upon the Metropolitan Water District for its supplies. Water supplies to all three dist
are imported entirely from outside of the San Diego Region (R-1).
Imported Water Sources
Supplie:; to Carlsbad, as well as the Southern California region, are imported via the Colorado River
California Aqueducts. The California Aqueduct delivers State Water Project (SWP) water from sev
sources in Central and Northern California, including Oroville and San Luis Dam. Metropolita
contracted for delivery of 2,011,500 acre feet of this water per year (AFY), about forty-eight perc
of the rota1 planned project yield. The SWP was conceived to add additional water storage
transfer facilities a:; increased deliveries occur over time, but no such reservoirs have been consttuc
since completion of the Aqueduct in the early 1970s. At the same time, Metropolitan's need for w
has been increasing. The SWP is currently providing a dependable supply of about one-half of 1
contracted amount (R-I 1.
The Colorado River Aqueduct was completed in 1941 and made available to the MWD in 1947 (R
Through contract with the U.S. Department of Interior, Metropolitan can obtain 470,000 AFY c
dependable basis. In return for implementing a water conservation program with Imperial lrriga
District, the largest user of Colorado River water, the MWD could obtain an additional 106,110 I
upon full implementation of the program. The ability to divert additional water will also be dependc
however, on hydrologic conditions along the River and demands from other users (R-1 I.
The California Aqueduct and Colorado Aqueduct converge near Lake Perris in Riverside County wt
the water continues south as the First and Second San Diego Aqueducts (R-3). Carlsbad acces
most of its water from the Palomar Road Connection which extends to the Second Aqueduct. The
Agency Pipeline and South Aqueduct connections access the remaining water supply. Approximai
44.5 million gallons (1 39 AF) of water is stored in the CMWD's eleven tank reservoirs and 196 mill
gallons (600 AF) of water is stored at Squires I Reservoir (R-1,5). The Squires Dam Reserv
however, is not corisidered a usable potable water source until it is lined and covered. These reservc
provide a 15-day emergency supply. CMWD currently has a demand of 14,000 AFY and peak d
supply fllows as high as 70 AF per day (R-2).

Local 'Water Supplies
Although a small percentage of the local domestic water supply is obtained from local resot
collection of locall water from precipitation is efficient. Most of the major river systems in Sou
California have been developed into a comprehensive system of flood control channels, dams
percolation ponds for artificially recharging groundwater. A study by the Los Angeles Cc
Departrment of Public Works has shown that ninety percent of rainfall and runoff in the Coui
captured before rleaching the ocean.
The ChdWD's only potential for obtaining groundwater is through their water rights to the San Lui:
River Basin. Refer to the Section 5.2, Hydrology, of this report for further details.
There are eighteen major reservoirs in Southern California, fourteen of which are operated by
Diego County agencies. The San Diego region supplies a dependable yield of 50,000 AFY; how
in drought years this amount may be decreased in half. There are no major reservoirs withii
CMWD's service area or in any neighboring jurisdiction. The Olivenhain Municipal Water District
the San Diego County Water Authority are, however, studying the feasibility of constructin1
emergency storage reservoir in the Mt. Israel area (R-1).
Reclaimed Water
Water reclamation involves treating wastewater for beneficial uses other than human consump
its transportation to the place of use, and its actual use. By installing and extending reclaimed v.
systems, demand for imported potable water sources will decrease. Like other water distric
Southern California, the CMWD is currently utilizing financial assistance from the MWD to cons1
a complete reclairrred water system. Projections indicate that by the year 201 0, total use of reclai
water in San Dieglo County will reach 100,000 AN (R-1 1. By the year 201 2, total use of reclai
water in Carlsbad is expected to reach 1 1,480 AFY (R-2).
The City has recently adopted a Water Reclamation Master Plan to provide the City with a feasible
to serve the reclaimed water markets identified in the study. Potential "Reclaimed Water Mark
include public and private irrigation uses (e.g. golf courses, crops, nurseries, landscaped arc
industrialkommercial uses, and ecological uses (e.g. Lagoon/stream enhancement, groundw
recharge). The Master Plan is proposed in five phases, with Phase V to be completed in 2012 (F
The Aviara Development, as part of Phase I, has already installed an extensive reclaimed water sys
used to irrigate golf courses, slopes, greenbelts, and common areas (R-1 1. Phase I is expected t
comple1:ed in the summer of 1994 (R-7).

Introduction
Sewer service in tlhe City of Carlsbad is provided by three independent sewer agencies: the Carl
Sewer Service District, Leucadia County Water District (LCWDI, and Vallecitos Water District (V\
Sewer district boundaries are shown on Map 5.12.3-1: Sewer Districts. Sewer service sysi
consist of major trunk sewers, pump stations, and forcemains which collect and transmit wastew
to wastewater treatment facilities. Each sewer district has prepared sewer master plans or st1
which evaluate the adequacy of existing sewer conveyance systems and wastewater treat1
facilities, project future demand, and determine improvements required to provide adequate sc
treatment capacity for future development (R-1 , 2, 3).
Citv of Carlsbad Sewer Svstem
The Carlsbad Sewer District serves the majority of Carlsbad. There are five sewage drainage ba
with four existing interceptor sewers transporting wastewater to the Encina Water Pollution Coi
Facility (EWPCFI for treatment within the Carlsbad Sewer District. The Carlsbad Sewer District sh
ownership of the interceptor sewers with the other participating sewer districts.
Vallecit os Water District
The Vallecitos Waiter District provides sewer service to approximately 550 acres of southeas
Carisbad. The conveyance system within VWD is divided into two principal drainage basins:
central basin that is tributary to EWPCF via the existing land outfall and the Meadowlark basin th,
tributaqr to Meadowlark Water Reclamation Facility (MWRF).
Leucadia Countv Water District
The Leucadia County Water District provides sewer service to the majority of southeastern Carlsl
The conveyance system within LCWD is divided into 11 sewage drainage basins (four within the
of Carlsbad), which transmit wastewater to either the Gafner Wastewater Treatment Plant or EW
for treatment.
Wastewater Treatment Facilities
The majority of the wastewater generated in Carlsbad is conveyed through major interceptor sew
to the Ericina Water Pollution Control Facility for treatment. The Encina Water Pollution Control Fac
is a regional wastewater treatment plant currently providing 36 million gallons per day (mgd
wastewater treatment capacity to the cities of Carlsbad and Vista, the Buena Sanitation District,
Vallecitos Water District, the Leucadia County Water District, and the Encinitas Sanitary District. SI
the EWPCF is located in the City of Carlsbad, major interceptor sewers transport wastewater f
other districts through the City of Carlsbad to the EWPCF for treatment. Current wastew,
treatment at the EWPCF produces secondary effluent plus stabilized and dewatered sludge. .

outfall currently provides 38 mgd of capacity. Sludge is presently trucked either to a local CI
landfill or to a contractor who provides sludge reuse services. Vallecitos Water District an
Leucadia County Water District also operate satellite wastewater treatment facilities within the
of Carlsbad and while not operational, the Carlsbad Sewer District also holds title to the sal
Calavera Hills Wastewater Treatment Plant. The LCWD Gafner Plant and VWD Meadowlark V
Reclamation Facility provide wastewater treatment capacity to portions of southern Carlsbad (see
5.1 2.3-1 : Sewer Districts).
The Encina Water Pollution Control Facility provides approximately 24 mgd of secondary wastev
treatment capacity to all three sewer districts serving Carlsbad. Current demand for waste\
treatment capacity by the three districts at the EWPCF is approximately 13 mgd. The Mead01
Water Reclamation Facility provides another 2 mgd of wastewater treatment capacity to the Valle
Water District, and the Gafner Wastewater Treatment Plant provides another .75 mgd to the Leu(
County Water District. When operational, the Calavera Hills Wastewater Treatment Plant will prc
1.2 mgd of additional wastewater treatment capacity.
As shown on Table 5.12.3-1 : Wastewater Treatment Facilities, the available wastewater treat!
capacity for each sewer district serving Carlsbad is adequate to satisfy current demand.

Implementation of the updated General Plan will generate increased amounts of sewage. As a re
the demand for ne-w or increased sewage conveyance systems and wastewater treatment facilitie:
increase. Sewage flow projections used to estimate future demand for wastewater conveyance
treatment facilities are based upon General Plan land use designations. Since LCWD and \
jurisdicitions includle other cities, the projected ultimate demand for sewer facilities in VWD and LC
is only partially generated by future Carlsbad land uses.
Studies have been performed by all three districts to determine deficiencies in the existing SE
systems and to identify future improvements. As shown on Table 5.1 2.3-2: Wastewater Treatr
Facilities, ultimatt? wastewater treatment demands for all three districts exceed their CUI
wastewater treatment capacity. Wastewater treatment capacity in all three sewer agencies ser
the City of Carlsbadl is projected to be adequate through the year 2000 (R-5). The EWPCF Pha.
expansion projected to be funded beyond the year 2000 will increase the total treatment capacity f
36 mgd to 45 mgcl and expand the capacity of the ocean outfall to its maximum capacity of 65 ~r

Environmental ImDact Re~ort CITY OF CARLSBAD
The County is currently pursuing the vertical and horizontal expansion of the San Marcos landfill. A
permit for expansion of the landfill was approved by the California Integrated Waste Management
Board in March 1993. The landfill will be permitted to expand its capacity to include approximately
eight million additional cubic yards. The life of the landfill would be extended a minimum of five to
eight years. This projection varies due to a potential generation reduction which may occur as a result
of increased recycling of solid waste (R-4).
Three alternative sites have been identified for a potential new landfill in northern San Diego County
and are being considered in ongoing environmental and engineering studies. The three locations are
described as:
Blue Canyon:
Aspen Road:
Gregory Cyn:
southwest of State Route 79, about 7 miles northwest of Warner
Springs
west of 1-1 5 and about 4 miles northeast of Fallbrook
3 miles east of 1-1 5 and 2 miles southwest of Pala, opening to the San
Luis Rey River valley.
Sufficient landfill capacity to accommodate projected growth is an issue the City must address as the
General Plan evolves. The City adopted its Source Reduction and Recycling Element (SRRE) in the Fall
of 1992, pursuant to State laws. Implementation of the SRRE programs are necessary to achieve the
State-mandated 25 percent diversion goal by 1995 and the 50 percent diversion goal by 2000. If the
SRRE goals are achieved, projected solid waste generated by General Plan buildout development will
be approximately the same as current levels.
5.12.4.4 Level of Sianificance
Based on the above analysis, impacts to solid waste will be significant, but mitigable. The existing
policies and proposed mitigation lessen the impacts to the greatest extent possible given the regional
and cumulative nature of solid waste impacts.

5.1 2.5 FIRE PROTECTION
5.1 2.5.1 - Errvironmental Setting
The City of Carlsbad Fire Department currently provides fire protection and paramedic service ti
entire City which includes approximately 42 square miles. The Fire Department has a total c
employees and maintains six fire stations (see Map 5.12.5-1 I. In addition to providing fire protec
the Firc Department provides basic and advanced emergency medical services through the use o
engines and paramedic ambulances. Twenty-one firefighters are certified as paramedics an
firefighters are certified to the Emergency Medical Technician/Fire Service Level as required b?
State of California. Table 5.1 2.5-1 : Fire Protection Equipment and Personnel, lists the personne
equipment at each of the six stations.
The Fire Department maintains six fire stations strategically dispersed throughout the City.
locatiori of the fire stations are dictated by Carlsbad's Growth Management Plan which t-
performance standard that requires additional fire stations whenever there are more than 1
dwellinlg units located outside a five minute road-response time from an existing station.
The City was last surveyed by the Insurance Services Office (IS01 in 1992 and received a Cla
rating. Based upon the IS0 rating system of Class 1 through 10, with Class 1 being the highest ra
the Carlsbad Fire Department offers adequate fire and emergency medical service. The
Departrnent requiires a minimum flow of water for fire protection in accordance with the ado
Uniform Fire Code and the IS0 standards of 1,000-1,500 gallons per minute for single-family resid€
land uses and 1,500 - 5,000 gallons per minute for multi-family, commercial, and industrial land i
There are currently no water flow deficiencies within the City.
The Firt! Department has signed Automatic Aid Agreements with all surrounding communities for a
support when additional fire fighting resources are needed. The City is also part of the San C
County and State of California Master Mutual Aid Agreement and maintains a separate agreement
the Cat tfornia Department of Forestry.
The City is considered a medium fire hazard area for wildland fires which could threaten urban
undeveloped areas due to the large areas of natural vegetation along the City's eastern border
within ithe City Limits. There are many inaccessible brush-covered canyons and hillsides in the
which add to the wildland fire hazard.
The City of Carlsbad has large areas of natural vegetation some of which are classified as "high
species" by the Ci*ty's Landscape Manual (e.g., Sage, California Sagebrush, Buckwheat, etc.1. In n
areas there are inaccessible steep, brush-covered canyons and hillsides which add to the C
wildland fire hazard. During times of hot dry weather and Santa Ana winds, the risk of brush fir
high. lhe City uses outside mutual-aid fire fighting help to control such large-scale fires. Brush
may pose a threal directly to both endangered species and habitat (e.g., Coastal Sage Scrub) ar
buildings and humans which are close to areas of natural vegetation. Approximately 80 percer
structural fires in Carisbad are in single family residences usually involving common household cont
such as furnishings, wood and plastics (R-15).

5.1 2.5.3 Environmental ImDacts
Implementation of the updated Carlsbad General Plan will result in additional residential, commercial
and industrial development. This will increase the demand for fire protection services and will result
in the need for additional manpower and equipment to serve Citywide demands. Currently fire
protection services are adequate to meet existing demands. The Growth Management performance
standard can be maintained with the six existing fire stations through buildout of the City (R-1). As
population increases, the demand for emergency services will also increase. The fire stations are
managed and planned to ensure that additional personnel and equipment will be added when necessary
(R-2). As the City grows fire protection services will be added to adequately serve the new
development.
As development occurs as a result of buildout of the General Plan there will be an increase in
development near areas of native vegetation (for instance, development next to preserved habitat areas
or open space). This may increase the risk of wildfires. Wildfire prevention techniques are
implemented through the City's Landscape Manual which requires on and offsite fire protection
measures such as fire control planting, low water use and low fuel species; fire suppression, including
removal and selective pruning of fuel species; and long term maintenance of fire protection areas (R-
10). All future projects must comply with the Landscape Manual to minimize fire hazards. In addition,
a Fire Suppression Plan is required when a proposed development project contains or is bounded by
hazardous native vegetation as determined by the Fire Chief. The required Fire Plan includes landscape
treatment and clearing designed to mitigate fire dangers to structures located adjacent to natural
vegetation areas. Building permits are also reviewed by the Fire Department for compliance with the Uniform Fire Code. The Fire Department has a weed abatement program which begins in April each
year and is designed to reduce fire hazards by clearing weedy type vegetation around structures and
on vacant lots.
5.1 2.5.4 Level of Sisnificance
While an adequate number of fire stations have been developed in the City, the increased fire hazard
will require additional staff and personnel. Based on this analysis, impacts to fire protection resulting
from the proposed update to the Carlsbad General Plan will be significant but can be mitigated to an
insignificant level.
5.1 2.5.5 Mitisation Measures
The following measures are required to mitigate impacts to fire protection services:
CITY OF CARBSBAD
1. Require compliance with the adopted public facility performance standard for fire services to
ensure that adequate public facilities are provided prior to or concurrent with development as
follows: No more than 1,500 dwelling units outside of a five-minute response time. (Land Use
Element, Growth Management and Public Facilities, C.2.1
Review new development proposals to consider emergency access, fire hydrant locations, fire
flow requirements, and wildland fire hazards. (Public Safety Element, Fire and Emergency Services, C.2.)
Enforce the Uniform Building and Fire Codes, adopted by the City, to provide fire protection
standards for all existing and proposed structures. (Public Safety Element, Fire and Emergency
Medical Services, C.1 .)

The Police Department has numerous programs designed to increase crime prevention including Drug
Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.), Business Watch, Neighborhood Watch, Operation CAT
(Combat Auto Theft), Operation ID (property identification), Juvenile Diversion, and the Guide Program.
These are supplemented by a problem-solving approach used by officers to help solve community
problems which often enlists the help of other City departments as well as County and State agencies.
In addition, the Police Department reviews development projects and provides recommendations on,
street access, safety, security measures, and the utilization of adequate lighting, and buildingktreet
addresses.
5.1 2.6.2
The project will have potentially significant impacts if it will result in conflicts with adopted service
standards for law enforcement services.
5.1 2.6.3 Environmental lmoacts
Implementation of the proposed update to the Carlsbad General Plan will result in additional residential,
commercial and industrial development. This will increase the demand for police protection services
in newly developing areas and will result in the need for additional personnel and equipment to serve
Citywide demands. Police facilities are included under City Administrative Facilities in Carlsbad's
Growth Management Plan and funds for these administrative facilities are generated by public facility
fees (PFF). PFFs are paid by developers before building permits are issued. Funding for additional
police services required by new development will be allocated from the City's General Fund.
Currently, the Police Department meets its six minute response time threshold standard and no
problems are expected in meeting the additional demand for police protection represented by an
increased population created by future growth (R-1 1.
5.12.6.4 Level of Sianificance
While an adequate number of police stations, manpower, and equipment have been developed in the
City, increased crime and traffic hazards will require additional staff and personnel. Based on this
analysis, impacts to law enforcement resulting from the proposed update to the Carlsbad General Plan
will be significant but can be mitigated to a level of less than significant.

Marcos Unified School District, 3) San Dieguito Union High School District, and 4) Encinitas Elemen
School Clistrict. The Carlsbad Unified School District serves the majority of the City except for an i
in the southeast quadrant. There are currently seven elementary schools, one junior high school,
one high school in the Carlsbad Unified School District (CUSD). The CUSD has projected a need
an additional six schools three of which will be for K-6 and three which will be for K-8 (R-1).
schools will eliminate the need to build additional separate elementary and junior high school facilil
The district has identified potential sites for the new facilities. Map 5.12.7-2: School
Location/Status, shows the location, type, and status of existing and proposed schools for all scl
districts within the City of Carlsbad.
The San Marcos Unified School District has one existing elementary school in the City and a sit€
one additional elementary school. The Encinitas Union Elementary School District has two exis
elementary school:; in the southeast quadrant of the city in addition to sites for two future schc
(R-2). The San Dielguito Union High School District has a site for a future Junior High School and a
for a future High School in the southeast quadrant. The districts have identified locations for ful
school sites based on projected development in the various areas of the city. Each district
identified its own student generation factors which are applied to the various types of resider
developrnent to project the number of students that will be added to the district. The future sct
sites are based on the projections from each district. Several of the districts including CUSD

5.1 2.73 - Environmental Impact
Implementation of the updated General Plan will result in incremental population growth caused by
developrnent of housing units within the study area. New commercial and industrial developments r also cause additional indirect impacts to occur as a result of increased employment opportunities
Potential impacts to the school districts serving Carlsbad will ultimately be determined by the type

Citv Parkland
The City of Carlshad's Parkland inventory is composed of three primary park classificati
Community Parks, Special Use Areas and Special Resource Areas. Map 5.12.8-1 shows
distribution of existing public parks and Table 5.1 2.8-1 summarizes existing City parks.
There are seven existing Community Parks totaling 96.08 acres. These parks are designed to :
the recreational needs of several neighborhoods. Community parks generally provide active
passive use amenities; however, they are not limited to the exclusive use of either.
There are twenty-four Special Use Areas which cover a total of 54.58 acres of land. These p:
which are one to five acres in site, contain only one or two activity type uses, either active or pa:
in nature. Numerous school activity fields are incorporated in this designation by a "joint-use" fa1
agreement between the City of Carlsbad and the corresponding school district.
There are seven Special Resource Areas which cover a total of 1,585.2 acres. Special Resource A
provide a unique character and/or use not found in Community or Special Use Areas. They are
characterized by the existence of a special or unusual feature, natural or manmade, i.e., a water b
earth formation, historical amenity, ecological reserve, etc. Carlsbad's beaches and lagoons
examples of Special Resource Areas.
Private Facilities
Several private recreational facilities currently exist within the City. The La Costa Hotel and SF
private facility which is not open to the public, includes two 18 hole golf courses, swim and te
facilities, spa and clubhouse. Privately-owned facilities which are open to the public include: A!
Golf Club with an 18 hole golf course; the Olympic Resort Hotel with a golf driving range, pool
tennis facilities; and Rancho Carlsbad with an 18 hole golf course, driving range, and an eques
facility.
Future Iqecreational Develooment
There are several areas that have been identified for future park development and are included in
current park inventory. The Carlsbad Trail System is a planned recreational opportunity that
consist of 74 miles of paved and unpaved pedestrian, bicycle, and joint use trails. This trail sys
will be part of a regional trail network. Planned Park Development Projc
summarizes the anticipated future parks to be developed in the City.

Mineral resources within the City of Carlsbad are no longer being extracted and utilized as exploi natural resources. Map 5.1 3-1 : Carlsbad Mineral Resources, shows several abandoned oil well:
abandoned gravel pit operations which are located throughout the City. In addition, there are abandoned salt evaporation ponds; one is near the south shore of the Buena Vista Lagoon an
other one is north of La Costa Avenue near the eastern perimeter of the Batiquitos Lagoon. The
representing the niost mineral resources now present in the City is around the Calavera Hills/Robe
Ranch area west of Lake Calavera as shown on the Mineral Resources Map. This area is west c
abandoned gravel pit operation associated with Cerro Calavera near the south shore of Lake Cali
and is South and adjacent to the on-going rock quarry operations of the South Coast Materials (
Oceanside, south of Highway 78. This area has been master planned (Calavera Hills Master
according to General Plan designations and the Oceanside rock quarry operation is scheduled to c
in three to four years because available resources have been depleted.
Agricultural Lands
Various scales of farming and cultivation of agricultural crops occur throughout the City of Carl:
In many cases, the agricultural use of property is an interim or transitional use due to economic fa
and the! ultimate development potential of a parcel. The City has two zoning designations specifi
dealing with agriculture as a permitted land use. These zones are the Exclusive Agricultural (E-A
Residential Agricultural (R-AI zones.
There are only a limited number of areas within the City that are considered to possess imp0
farmlarids as defined by the California Department of Conservation. Both Prime Farmland and Farn
of Statewide Importance are considered important farmlands. Map 5.13-2, Important Farmi;
shows the general location of Prime Farmland and Farmland of Statewide Importance in the Ci
Carlsbad. "Prime Farmland" is defined as land which has the best combination of physical
chemical characteristics for the production of crops. These areas have the soil quality, grc

While the Department of Conservation defines important farmlands as identified above, the Department
See Set. 9.0 of Agriculture (Soil Conservation Service) defines "prime agricultural soils" based on physical soil
Response3A characteristics. Specifically, soils are assessed relative to a Capability Class rating (Class I to VIII) and
a Storie Index rating (0 to 100). Soils with a Capability Class of I or II and a Storie Index rating of 79
or higher are considered prime agricultural soils by the Soils Conservation Service (SCSI. While some
areas are considered prime farmland by the Department of Conservation, they may lack the physical
soil properties (as indicated by Capability Class and Storie lndes ratings) to be considered prime soils
by the SCS. For environmental review under CEQA, the City of Carlsbad typically uses the SCS criteria
for prime agricultural soils when determining impacts to agricultural lands.
Map 5.1 3-2 shows that the Carlsbad Ranch area (south of Agua Hedionda Lagoon and east of the 1-5
freeway), contains prime farmland pursuant to the Department of Conservation criteria. However, the
soils involved, Carlsbad gravelly loamy sand SbBI and Marina loamy coarse sand (MIC), are not
considered prime agricultural soils according x the SCS criteria. The soils do not have a Capability
Class of I or I1 and the Storie Index rating varies between 23 and 54.
Some agricultural land in Carlsbad is subject to a Williamson Act Land Conservation contract as
allowed by the State Legislature under the California Land Conservation Act of 1965, The Williamson
Act. The Williamson Act permits local jurisdictions to enter into contracts with landowners. The
contract restricts the use of the land to agricultural, recreational, or open space uses and limits the
land's potential for subdivision or development. In exchange, the property owner receives a reduction
in property tax. The term of the contracts is typically ten years and are renewed automatically each
year. The amount of the tax reduction is based on the difference between the agricultural value of the
property and its market value. Should the property owner desire not to renew the contract, a Notice
of Non-Renewal must be submitted 90 days prior to the renewal date. The contract will then expire
ten years after the submittal of the Notice of Non-Renewal.
Approximately 331 acres on the Carlsbad Ranch property in the City of Carlsbad are subject to a
Williamson Act Land Conservation Contract. Typical crops grown on these preserve areas include
ornamental flowers, ranunculus bulbs, tomatoes and strawberries. The Williamson land contract
defines certain restrictions on development of the property for a period of ten and fifteen years. A
Notice of Non-Renewal for all 331 acres in Carlsbad Ranch was filed by the property owner and
recorded by the City Clerk on November 4, 1991. Approximately 279 acres of the site are subject to
the Williamson Act and will remain as an agricultural preserve until January 1, 2002. The remaining
52 acres contain flower fields and are under a 15 year contract prohibiting development until 2007.
The Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan was approved by the City Council on March 16, 1993. The Plan
allows a mixture of non-residential land uses on the 423 acre project site. Proposed land uses for the
site include office, research and development, related IiGht manufacturing, travel-service commercial,
retail, hotel, driving range, agriculture open space areas and potentially, a vocational school campus.
The areas under a Land Conservation Contract will be subject to a specific plan amendment and
corresponding environmental review prior to any conversion to non-agricultural land uses.

Mineral Resources
While mineral resources were once extracted throughout the City in the form of gravel pits, oil v
and salt evaporation ponds, these activities have decreased with the continued buildout of the
over the years. The remaining mineral resources present in the northeastern part of the City are
planned to be extracted in the future and urban development has been identified by the General
as a preferred use (of these lands.
Agricultural Lands
Buildout of the updated General Plan may result in the conversion of farmland to urban uses. 01
land currently farmed in the City of Carlsbad, only a limited amount of that land constitutes area
prime agricultural soils. Agriculture as an industry is dynamic, and agriculture in Carlsbad as we
throughout San Diego County is subject to a number of variables including continually chan
markets, variations in crop specializations, urbanization, rising water costs and availability, and diff competition from loreign markets and other U.S. producers (R-1). Through implementation of
updated General Plan, the City of Carlsbad will be implementing various policies, goals and objecl
designed to lessen the adverse impacts of these variables on agriculture in the area. However, future of agriculture in Carlsbad will be a balance of financial, water supply, and regulatory facl
The continuation of agriculture will also depend to a large extent on the ability of farmers to carve
a niche !in the markets for relatively higher value crops, while maintaining maximum flexibility of
crop mix to meet c:hanging market conditions (R-1).
Portions of some properties currently utilized for agricultural purposes have been designated as ( space on the Land Use Map, and are therefore protected as long-term open space. These prope
which have a General Plan Open Space designation are more likely to retain agricultural uses sincf land does not represent greater economic value since only mineral and temporary development 1
are allovved in open space areas. The City's Local Coastal Programs' (LCP) policies address the i
of premature conversion of agricultural lands to urban uses by establishing programs which re(
mitigation for agricultural conversion. LCP policies also provide financial assistance to farmers thrc
cash programs. However, buildout according to the General Plan will affect Prime Farmland as def
by the State Department of Conservation. The Prime Farmland areas in Carlsbad are not under an (
space designation in the General Plan and they could consequently be converted to urban uses.

The other areas of Prime Farmland are relatively smaller. If development is proposed for one of these
areas, a specific study pursuant to CEQA shall be conducted to determine if prime agricultural soils
occur pursuant to the Soils Conservation Service criteria. If prime agricultural soils occur, potential
impacts will either be avoided or mitigated.
General Plan implementation will not impact a Williamson Act Land Conservation Contract in Carlsbad.
Carlsbad Ranch is the only site in Carlsbad that is subject to a Land Conservation Contract.
Development plans were approved in March 1993 and the site will be developed regardless of the
implementation of the updated General Plan.
5.13.4 Level of Sianificance
Mineral Resources
Based on the above analysis, impacts to mineral resources from implementation of the Carlsbad
General Plan will not be significant.
Agricultural Lands
Based on the above analysis, impacts to agricultural lands and prime agricultural soils from
implementation of the Carlsbad General Plan will be significant. Implementing the measures identified
below will reduce the impact to less than significant.
5.1 3.5 Mitiaation Measures
Potential impacts to agricultural lands can be reduced to a level of insignificance by implementing the following General Plan policies and programs:

CEQA requires the consideration of alternative development scenarios and the analysis of imp
associated with the alternatives. Through comparison of these alternatives to the proposed pro.
the advantages of each can be weighed and analyzed. The CEQA Guidelines require a rang
alternatives "governed by 'the rule of reason' that require the EIR to set forth only those alternal
necessary to permit a reasoned choice" (Section 151 26(d)).
The CECN Guidelines require that, "the discussion of alternatives shall focus on alternatives cap
of eliminating any significant adverse environmental effects or reducing them to a leve
insignificance, even if these alternatives would impede to some degree the attainment of the prc
objectivcs, or would be more costly" (Section 15126(d)). The analysis of "No Project" is
mandated by the CEQA Guidelines.
In the environmental analysis for the City of Carlsbad General Plan Update, buildout of the General
is assumed to occur by 2010. Implementation of the updated General Plan will have significant I(

None of the above project alternatives involve an alternative location. The policies and program
the proposed project are specific to the geographic context of the City of Carlsbad. Analyzing
Carlsbacl General Plan in alternative locations would be inappropriate and unreasonable.
The alternatives arialyzed in this Program EIR are general in nature as is the proposed project.
degree of specificity used in the alternatives analysis is related to the programmatic approach USE
the analysis of the proposed project. City-wide development during buildout of the alternative projl
is addressed rather than specific development projects.

6.1 No Proiect
Under the No Project alternative, no further development will occur in Carlsbad beyond the existing
land uses and approved projects. Approximately 6,000 dwelling units have been approved to date and
have the potential to be constructed at any time. The 17,424 acres of currently vacant land, (70
percent of the total City acreage), will not be urbanized if the No Project alternative is implemented.
Most of the vacant land within the C. boundarie- 2xists in the eastern portions of the City. The
eastern areas will remain vacant and the intensity of development in the western areas will not change.
This alternative will preclude development of several properties where development is presently
allowed.
The City's currently adopted General Plan calls for the addition of 25,389 dwelling units for a total of
52,638 dwelling units at buildout and for the addition of 45.6 million square feet of non-residential
floor area for a total of 58.3 million square feet at buildout. This development will accommodate a
future City population of approximately 125,800 persons. Under the No Project alternative, none of
the planned development will occur. The development and population growth projected for Carlsbad
will be displaced to the surrounding areas.
Implementation of the No Project alternative will reduce most of the environmental impacts associated
with implementation of the updated General Plan, including the significant and unmitigable impact to
air quality. As described in the next paragraph, circulation impacts will result from regional traffic
under the No Project alternative. In addition, implementation of the No Project alternative will cause
the growth rates for the surrounding jurisdictions to exceed growth projections and unanticipated
environmental impacts may occur. Surrounding jurisdictions may experience population growth that
exceeds anticipated levels and the housing stock, including affordable housing, may be inadequate to
accommodate the greater demand. In addition, the demand for public utilities and services may exceed
the capacity of existing and planned facilities in surrounding areas. The pressure may increase in
surrounding cities to develop land with geological constraints and sensitive biological resources and
cultural resources. Farmland may be converted at a faster rate due to displaced development and
population growth.
Conclusion
While implementation of the No Project alternative will eliminate the environmental impacts associated
with the proposed General Plan, the No Project alternative will result in environmental impacts to the
surrounding area. The No Project alternative is not considered feasible. Because no further
development will occur in Carlsbad, the City will not be able to comply with State affordable housing
regulations. In addition, tax revenue will not increase under this alternative and the City will have no
means to finance new infrastructure required to accommodate the impact of regional growth. In
particular, the City will lack sufficient revenue to improve the circulation system to accommodate the
projected increase in regional traffic. As a result, traffic will exceed acceptable service levels on
regional circulation routes. Implementation of the No Project alternative will prohibit property owners
in Carlsbad from developing their land and may represent a legal "taking without compensation".
6.2 Existina General Plan
Under this alternative, the updated General Plan will not be adopted or implemented and the City will
continue to implement the Existing General Plan. In 1985, the Circulation, Housing, and Land Use
Elements of the Existing General Plan were updated and the Arts and Historic Preservation Elements
were added. Recent changes include revisions to the Parks and Recreation, Housing, and Open Space
and Conservation Elements.

The planned land uses in the Existing General Plan are almost the same as the proposed upc
General Plan. Several of the land use designation names in the Existing General Plan are different
those used in the updated General Plan but the type and intensity of development are the same.
Existing General Plan has 1,500 less acres of designated open space.
The environmental impacts resulting from implementation of the Existing General Plan alternativf
be mort? substantial than the impacts resulting from implementation of the proposed General Plan.
proposed General Plan contains new and modified policies to strengthen the protection of sen!
environmental resources. For example, the proposed General Plan contains programs and PO
requirin 9 involvement in regional conservation planning efforts and implementation of the City's Hz
Management Plan and Open Space and Conservation Resource Management Plan. Implementatic
the habitat management efforts identified in the proposed General Plan will better mitgate impac
biological resources than the programs identified in the Existing General Plan. The circuL
improvements identified in the proposed General Plan will accommodate projected traffic levels
maintain acceptable levels of service better than the circulation improvements found in the Exi
General Plan. The proposed General Plan also contains a program to protect future residential
from residual agricultural chemicals found in soil. This alternative will result in significant cumul
air quality and circulation impacts which cannot be mitigated to a level of less than significant. T
cumulative impacts are due to regional through traffic and air quality problems. The City ha
jurisdicrional contron over regional through traffic and therefore will be unable to reduce the cumul
circulation impact to less than significant. The cumulative air quality impact, however, may be red
in future years as iregional air quality management plans are implemented and regional pollutant I(
are reduced to meet state and federal standards.
Conclusion
The Existing General Plan alternative is not environmentally superior to the proposed General f
Implemsntation of this alternative will result in more substantial environmental impacts
implementation of the proposed General Plan.
6.3 Decreased Residential DeveloDment
The Decreased Residential Development alternative is the same as the proposed General Plan but 1
acres OF land designated for residential uses will not be developed. Development of this land m:
constrained by the predominance of coastal sage scrub habitat and associated sensitive animal
plant species (inclluding the recently federally listed California gnatcatcher). A maximum of 7
dwelling units could be developed on this potentially constrained acreage. Under this alternative, t
dwelling units will not be constructed and the total number of dwelling units to be developed city-
will be ireduced from 52,638 units to 45,485 units.
Due to the increaised open space acreage and the reduction in dwelling units, the environm
impacts, of the Decreased Residential alternative will be somewhat less substantial than the imy
of the proposed General Plan.
Hydrology
The Decreased Residential Development alternative will result in less impervious surface area thar
proposed General Plan. Water absorption rates consequently will not decrease and runoff rates
not increase to the same extent. Non-point source water pollutant levels may be somewhat less
the pollutant levels resulting from buildout of the proposed General Plan. The geographic exter

new drainage facilities will be reduced under this alternative. While the hydrology impacts will be less
substantial than the hydrology impacts of the proposed General Plan, the hydrology impacts will be
significant and mitigation will be required.
Air Quality
Implementation of the Decreased Residential Development alternative will result in less construction
activity in Carlsbad and less construction-related emissions than implementation of the proposed
General Plan. Traffic volumes at buildout will be less due to the reduced number of dwelling units.
As a result, the long-term emissions will be somewhat less under this.alternative than under the
proposed General Plan. Cumulative local and regional air quality impacts will be significant because
Carlsbad is located in an air basin where state and federal pollutant standards are exceeded. The City
must implement a number of measures to reduce emissions but impacts will remain significant. The
cumulative air quality impacts, however, may be reduced in future years as regional air quality
management plans are implemented and regional pollutant levels are reduced to meet state and federal
standards.
Biological Resources
Due to the increased open space acreage under the Decreased Residential alternative, impacts to
biological resources will be less substantial than under the proposed General Plan. Significant acreage
of natural habitat will still be lost in other parts of the City and the resulting impact to biological
resources will be significant and require mitigation. This alternative, nevertheless, will result in the
protection of 1,345 acres of additional coastal sage scrub habitat and California gnatcatchers living
therein.
Population/Housing
Based on an average household size of 2.47 persons per dwelling unit, implementation of the
Decreased Residential alternative will reduce the projected buildout population by 17,668
persons from 125,837 persons to 108,169 persons. The overall population increase will still
be significant and will require mitigation. Because residential development will be reduced
under this alternative in the long-term, the City may not be able to fully comply with State
affordable housing requirements. Regional and fair share housing requirements may not be
met under this alternative. As a result, the population/housing impact of the Decreased
Residential alternative is considered more substantial than the impact of the proposed General
Plan. -
Circulation
Due to the lower number of dwelling units, the traffic generated by this alternative will be somewhat
less than the traffic generated by the proposed General Plan. Cumulative circulation impacts from local
and regional through traffic will be significant. The City has no jurisdictional control over regional
traffic and therefore will be unable to reduce the cumulative circulation impacts to less than significant.
Noise
Because the Decreased Residential alternative will result in less traffic than the proposed General Plan,
noise related to traffic will be somewhat reduced. The resulting noise impact of this alternative,
however, will still be significant and will require mitigation.

I Aesthelics
The aesthetic impacts of the Decreased Residential alternative will be less substantial than the imp
of the proposed General Plan. An additional 1,345 acres will be designated as Open Space and n
natural landscape in the City will be maintained. Prevailing visual quality standards indicate that nal
landscaple has more aesthetic quality than urban landscapes. Nevertheless, a large amount of c
space will still be converted to urban uses under this alternative and the resulting aesthetic impact
be significant and will require mitigation.
Utilities and Public Services
Due to the reduced number of dwelling units allowed by this alternative, the demand for utilities
public services will be somewhat reduced. However, the impact to utilities and public services will
be significant and will require mitigation.
Other Environmental Impacts
Impacts to other environmental issue areas under the Decreased Residential Development alterna
will be similar to the impacts resulting from the proposed General Plan.
Conclusion
Based on the above discussion, the Decreased Residential Development alternative is considt
environmentally superior to the proposed General Plan. While the resulting impacts will be I
substantial than the impacts of the proposed General Plan, (with the exception of population/hou!
impacts), the resulting environmental impacts will still be significant and will require mitigat
Cumulative impacts to air quality and circulation will still be significant and unavoidable under
alternative.
The Decreased Residential Development alternative is not feasible. Because residential developrr
will be reduced under this alternative, the City may not be able to fully comply with State afford;
housing requirements in the long-term. In addition, less tax revenue will be generated under
alternative and the City will have reduced means to finance new infrastructure required
accommodate the impact of local and regional growth. Implementation of the Reduced Resider
Development alternauive will prohibit some property owners in Carlsbad from developing their land l
may represent a legal "taking" of some properties. Regardless of whether this alternativc
implemented, development of some planned residentialareas containing coastal sage scrub may
precluded by the federal listing of the California gnatcatcher.
6.4 jlensitv Transfer
The proposed General Plan Land Use Element provides for density and development right transfer
instances where a property owner is preserving open space in excess of normal City requiremei
Under the Density Transfer alternative, the density transfer provision of the proposed Land Use Elerr
will be revised to state that density and development right transfers to areas adjacent to m
transportation corridors, public transportation facilities, and employment centers will be considerel
instances where a property owner is preserving open space in excess of normal City requiremer
This revision will allow the City to consider density and development right transfers where propc

Endangered Species Act, and other sensitive environmental resources, (e.9. steep slopes, watershed,
important cultural resource sites).
In terms of General Plan buildout projections, implementation of the Density Transfer alternative could
hypothetically result in the same number of dwelling units allowed by the proposed General Plan.
Residential uses planned for environmentally constrained lands could be transferred to other parts of
the City. Because the Density Transfer alternative only allows density transfers to areas near main
transportation corridors, public transportation facilities, and employment centers, the implementation
of this alternative will result in some circulation and air quality benefits in addition to preservation of
sensitive environmental resources. However, implementation of the Density Transfer alternative could
result in some localized environmental impacts which are more substantial than the impacts of the
proposed project in areas receiving the transferred density. Impacts from this alternative that will be
more or less significant than the proposed General Plan are identified below.
Hydrology
The Density Transfer alternative will result in less impervious surface area than the proposed General
Plan. Water absorption rates consequently will not decrease and runoff rates will not increase to the
same extent. While the number of dwelling units constructed under this alternative will be similar to
the number of dwelling units constructed under the proposed General Plan, the alternative will result
in reduced levels of non-point source water pollutants. More non-point source pollutants are generated
by single-family development than multi-family development. The geographic extent of new drainage
facilities will be reduced under this alternative. Although the hydrology impacts will be less substantial
than the hydrology impacts of the proposed General Plan, the hydrology impacts will be significant and
mitigation will be required.
Air Quality
Because nearly the same number of dwelling units will be constructed under the Density Transfer
alternative as under the proposed General Plan, the resulting construction-related impacts to air quality
will be comparable. Due to the greater juxtaposition of residential uses and transportation facilities
under the alternative, more residents may utilize public transportation. The reduced trips will result in long-term reductions in automobile emissions. While project-level air quality impacts may be less
substantial than the impacts of the proposed General Plan, the resulting impacts will be significant and require mitigation. Cumulative local and regional air quality impacts will be less significant because
Carlsbad is located in an air basin where state and federal pollutant standards are exceeded. The City
must implement a number of measures to reduce emissions but the impact will remain significant. The
cumulative air quality impact, however, may be reduced in future years as regional air quality
management plans are implemented and regional pollutz& levels are reduced to meet state and federal
standards.
Biological Resources
Due to the increased open space acreage under the Density Transfer alternative, impacts to biological
resources will be less substantial than under the proposed General Plan. Significant acreage of natural
habitat will still be lost in other parts of the City and the resulting impact to biological resources will
be significant and require mitigation. This alternative, nevertheless, will result in the protection of
1,345 acres of additional coastal sage scrub habitat and California gnatcatchers living therein.

land usc? pattern that is different from the existing pattern. Carlsbad is presently characterize
single-family neighborhoods with occasional multi-family developments. The substantial increa
multi-family development under the Density Transfer alternative will alter community character r
than buildout of the proposed General Plan. The land use impact of this alternative will be signifi
and will require mitigation.
Circulation
Due to the greater integration of residential uses and transportation facilities under the alterna
more residents may utilize public transportation. Local and regional trips may be reduced. Pal
deficiencies may offer in the areas of concentrated residential uses. Cumulative circulation imp
from local and regional through traffic will still be significant. The City has no jurisdictional control
regional traffic and therefore will be unable to reduce the cumulative circulation impact to less
significant. 1 Noise
Under the Density Transfer alternative, more people will be living near major transportation corrid
Areas SiJrrounding major transportation corridors are typically characterized by elevated noise le
and greater numbers of residents will be exposed to excessive noise. The noise impacts of the Der
Transfer alternative will be more substantial than the noise impacts of the proposed General F
Noise attenuation barriers and appropriate project design can mitigate the potential noise impacl
a less than significant level.
Conclusion
The Density Transfer alternative will result in impacts to hydrology, air quality, biological resour
populationlhousing, and circulation impacts which are somewhat less substantial than the impact the proposed General Plan. Cumulative air quality and circulation impacts, however, will stil
significant and unavoidable. In addition, the land use and noise impacts will be more Substantial 1
the related General Plan impacts. In terms of overall environmental effects, the Density Tran
alternative is considered environmentally equivalent to %he proposed General Plan. I

7.0 ANALYSIS OF LONG-TERM EFFECTS
Long-term environimental effects from implementing the updated General Plan are addressed in this
The EIR is a program-level document that identifies significant impacts for a variety of areas
establishes program-level mitigation measures to effectively reduce almost all impacts to a less
significant level. The mitigation measures consist primarily of General Plan implementation policie!
programs. This EIR has been prepared as a Master EIR pursuant to AB 1888 (see Section
Introduction), and will serve as the basis for the environmental review of future development prop
that are consistent with the updated General Plan.
The Caliifornia Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires the discussion of significant cumulative
growth-inducing impacts of the proposed project. The following discussion addresses these issuc
they relate to implementation of the updated City of Carlsbad General Plan.
7.1
The following impact areas were analyzed as part of this EIR and were found not to be significa
lmoact Areas Considered But Not Found to be Potentiallv Sianificant I
0 Risk of Upset (Health, Safety, and Nuisance Factors)
- Short- and Lona-Term Environmental ImDacts 7.2
CEQA and the CEW Guidelines require that an EIR identify the “relationship between local and s
term uses of man’s environment and the maintenance and enhancement of long-term producth
Special attention must be given to those impacts which narrow the range of beneficial uses o
environment or pose long-term risks to health and safety. The EIR must also identify those rea
or justifications that implementation should proceed now rather than in the future.
Approximately 30 percent of Carlsbad is presently urbanized and development is concentrated ir
western portions of the City. The General Plan will allow 25,389 dwelling units and approximl
45.6 million square feet of non-residential uses. Future residential development will primarily occ
the vacant eastern areas and additional industrial and commercial uses will be developed in the ce
portion:; of the City surrounding the municipal airport. The General Plan designates 5,781 acrc
open sglace which Qenerally encompass the lagoon systems and other sensitive areas.
All impacts of General Plan implementation are considered to be incremental and long-term rather
immediate. By identifying the potential impacts on the environment early in the planning process
City and other responsible governmental agencies can anticipate the levels of impact and can
measures to reduce impacts to acceptable levels. The purpose of the updated General Plan
maintain the long-lerm viability and productivity of the City through a managed growth plan as opp
to allowing piecemeal development for the benefit of short-term gain.
7.3
State CEQA Guidelines define “significant effects” as a substantial adverse change in any ol
physical conditions within the area affected by the project,” (Sections 15002 and 15382). Iml:
are not considered to be significant or adverse if potential effects can be mitigated to acceptable leq
CEQA requires the decision maker to balance the benefits of a proposed project against its unavoic
environimental risk in determining whether to approve a project. If the benefits of a proposed prc

outweigh the unavoidable adverse environmental effects, the adverse environmental effects may be
considered “acceptable” (CEQA Guidelines Section 1 5093).
This EIR identifies two areas of unavoidable impact, as defined by CEQA, that will result from the
implementation of the Carlsbad General Plan. The implementation of the General Plan will have direct
and unavoidable significant impacts on air quality and traffic circulation based on the identified
significance thresholds. Alternatives examined in Section 6.0 of this EIR were analyzed to determine
whether the impacts to air quality and traffic circulation could be reduced to a less than significant
level.
The San Diego Air Basin contains pollutant levels that exceed the state and federal standards for air
quality. Implementation of the General Plan will result in additional residential and non-residential uses in Carlsbad and the amount of emissions generated within the City will consequently increase. The
mitigation measures identified in this EIR will reduce the amount of emissions generated as a result of
General Plan implementation. However, the combined emissions from Carlsbad and other cities in the
San Diego Air Basin will continue to exceed the state and federal air quality standards. The cumulative impact to air quality will remain significant regardless of the mitigation measures implemented by
Carlsbad.
Carlsbad traffic is composed of both traffic generated by local land uses and traffic from regional
activity. Local traffic will increase as development occurs according to the updated Carlsbad General
Plan. The roadway plan contained in the Circulation Element can generally accommodate the increased
traffic. Several intersections in the City will exceed acceptable service levels by buildout due to the
combined effect of local and regional traffic. Planned intersection improvements will not fully mitigate
the cumulative impact of future traffic volumes.
None of the alternatives will reduce cumulative air quality or traffic circulation impacts to less than
significant.
7 -4 Growth-lnducina lmoacts
Adoption of the updated Carlsbad General Plan will not cause growth, but rather is an approach
required of cities and counties by the State of California to accommodate, manage, and control growth.
Implementation of the proposed General Plan will provide for increases in the City’s residential
population and additional development of the commercial and light industrial sectors. Demand for City
services will increase due to the additional development allowed by the plan. The General Plan and
associated infrastructure and public service master plans will accommodate the increased demand and
the new development will generate new revenue to fund expansion of public services.
The environmental effects related to individual projects will need to be assessed as such projects are
proposed. The City will impose conditions on the approval of such projects to reduce environmental
effects. Periodic updating of the General Plan and its supporting documents will assist in the
identification and development of necessary mitigation measures as development within the City
occurs.
7.5 Cumulative ImDacts
The California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines define cumulative effects as “two or more
individual effects that, when considered together, are considerable or which compound or increase
other environmental impacts”. The Guidelines further state that the individual effects can be the
various changes related to a single project or the changes involved in a number of other closely related

Regional Growth Projections Method - A summary of projections contained ii
adopted general plan or related planning document which is designed to eval
regional or areawide conditions (Section 1 51 30).
The updated Carlsbad General Plan establishes policy to guide future development within the City
its implementation is long-term in nature. The Regional Projections Method is more appropriate
the List Method because the List Method only accounts for projects in the short-term. Regional grc
projections from General Plans and regional plans include both short- and long-term projects.
Regional Growth Projections
The Sari Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) projects regional growth for the greater
Diego area. Local General Plan land use policy is incorporated into SANDAG projections. The r
recent set of adopted growth projections are contained in the SANDAG Series 7 Regionwide Fore
for 198!5 through 201 0. SANDAG has recently updated the regional growth projections but the
projections have not been adopted to date. As a result, the Series 7 projections serve as the basi
the cumulative impact analysis.
The CoiJnty of San Diego is divided into subregions, (or Major Statistical Areas), in the Seri
Regionvvide Forecast. Carlsbad, along with San Dieguito, the City of Oceanside, and Camp Pendl
(USMC) compose the North County West Major Statistical Area (MSA). San Dieguito is a commi
that is comprised of both County of San Diego land and City of Encinitas land. The geogra
boundaries of the cumulative impact study area correspond to the boundaries of the North CO
West wbregion with the exception of the Camp Pendleton area. Camp Pendleton is excluded fron
cumulative impact analysis because the forces affecting growth at the camp are distinct fron
forces affecting growth in the rest of the subregion. Forecasting future development at C
Pendleton requires using a different set of variables and accounting for national base realign1
policy. Map 7.0-1 : Cumulative Impact Study Area, shows the cumulative impact study area in reL
to the greater San Diego region. -
Table 7.0-1: Growth Forecasts for the North County West Major Statistical Area (Without C
Pendleton), shows the Series 7 projections for population growth and residential development fol
year 20110. The !Series 7 projections do not assume that Carlsbad will buildout by 2010 and
projections for the Carlsbad area are subsequently lower than the projections used in other secl
of this EIR. The figures in parentheses in Table 7.0-1 are growth projections based on buildoi
Carlsbad by 2010. The greater figures based on buildout of Carlsbad are used for the cumul;
impact analysis to be consistent with other sections of the EIR and to assess the "worst c

Cumulative Impacts
Soils arid Geoloay
Future clevelopmerit in the North County West MSA will increase the number of people expose1
earthquake and other geologic hazards. Future development will be constrained by steep sloi
landslides, and soils with high clay content. Erosion and siltation rates will be accelerated
earthwork required for new development. Cumulative impacts related to geologic conditions car
mitigated by impleimentation of local grading ordinances, standard structural safety regulations,
the public safety and development policies and programs contained in local General Plans. 1 Hvd rol ogy
As development occurs throughout the North County West MSA, the amount of impervious surfa
will increase. Water absorption rates will subsequentlydecrease and runoff rates will increase. h
drainage infrastructure will be required to prevent flooding. Non-point source pollutants will incre
from new development and will impact the local coastal lagoons and ocean waters. The potential
sedimentation of the lagoons will increase from grading and construction. Impacts related to non-pi
source pollutants and sedimentation can be mitigated by implementation of Best Management Practi
according to state and local National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permits and regic
efforts to preserve the lagoons.
Air Quam
The San Diego Air Basin contains pollutant levels that exceed the state and federal standards for
quality. The development forecasted for the North County West MSA will be associated v
increased emission levels. Potential emissions will be partially reduced by the implementation of IC
air quality policy and the San Diego County Air Pollution Control District Regional Air Quality Strates - 8 ANALYSIS OF LONG-TERM EFFECTS 7 .O-
FINAL MASTER
Environmental Imnact Remtt
(RAQS). However, the combined emissions from the North County West MSA and other developed
areas in the County will continue to exceed the state and federal air quality standards. The cumulative
impacts to air quality will be significant. The City will implement a number of measures to reduce the
amount of emissions generated in Carlsbad but the cumulative impacts will remain significant. The
cumulative impacts to air quality may be reduced in future years as regional air quality management
plans are implemented and regional pollutant levels are reduced to meet state and federal standards.
Bioloclical Resources
Sensitive biological resources will be impacted by anticipated development in the North County West
MSA but potential cumulative impacts can be mitigated by regional preservation efforts and project-
level mitigation programs. The North County West MSA contains large expanses of coastal sage scrub
in addition to riparian and lagoon habitat. These habitat support endangered and threatened species
of plants and animals, and migratory water fowl. Regional efforts to preserve the lagoons and the
North County Natural Communities Conservation Planning Effort will help protect sensitive biological
resources in the North County West MSA. Habitat will also be preserved in the open space designated
in the Oceanside, Carlsbad, and San Dieguito areas. All future development projects will be reviewed
according to CEQA for impacts to biological resources and potential impacts to sensitive biological
resources will require implementation of mitigation programs.
PoDulation/Housing
Population in the North County MSA will increase by 84 percent from 217,052 persons to 298,559
persons and housing will increase by 94 percent from 81,830 dwelling units to 158,891 dwelling units.
The substantial change in population and housing is considered a cumulative impact which can be
mitigated.
The North County West MSA contains more residential uses than commercial and industrial uses and
the Jobs-to-Housing ratio is unbalanced when compared with the San Diego region. Recent
development primarily consists of single-family dwellings and new residents often commute to other
areas in the County for employment. Many residents of Oceanside, however, are employed locally at
Camp Pendleton. Planned development in the North County West MSA includes both residential and
non-residential uses. The establishment of industrial, office, and commercial uses will provide jobs and
the Job-to-Housing ratio will improve. Implementation of local Housing Elements will provide affordable
housing for lower-income residents.
Land Use
Large expanses of vacant land in the North County West MSA will be converted to urban uses and the
character of the landscape will be altered. Long-range land use plans exist for the individual
jurisdictions in the North County West MSA. Potential land use incompatibilities can be mitigated by
implementation of the local land use plans. Coordination between the jurisdictions will facilitate
compatible development along jurisdictional boundaries.
Circulation
The North County West MSA presently experiences traffic congestion along major arterials due to
commuting and through traffic. Planned development within the region will generate additional traffic
which will further impact the regional circulation system. The planned mix of residential, commercial,
office, and industrial uses will decrease some of the traffic of residents commuting to other cities for
employment. Future circulation impacts will be partially mitigated by participation in the SANDAG

Regional Transpoitation Plan by the individual North County West MSA cities. However,
cumulaitive circulation impact cannot be mitigated to less than significant due to the large volun
through traffic over which the City has no jurisidctional control and physical constraints to circul, 1 improvements.
Cultural and Paleontoloaical Resources
The Noith County West MSA contains valuable cultural and paleontological resources. Prehistoric
archaeallogical remains are abundant in riparian and lagoon areas and the older parts of Carlsbad,
Dieguito, Oceanside contain some structures with historicat significance. Rare fossils have been fc
in the geologic formation underlying the coastal bluffs and hills in the North County West IL
Anticipated development will require grading and earthwork which could impact potentially occui
archaealogical and paleontological resources. Potential impacts can be mitigated by
implementation of local policy pertaining to cultural and paleontological resources. In additior
proposed projects will be reviewed pursuant to CEQA and mitigation measures will be develope(
potential impacts. Future development will primarily occur in vacant areas and historic resourci
currently urbanized areas will not be affected. Historic agricultural properties may be impacted
potential impacts can be mitigated through application of the CEQA environmental review proce
Noise
Anticipated development will generate short-term noise during the construction process. Increi
development densities will increase traffic volumes and associated noise levels. Implementing I
noise ordinances, constructing buildings according to state acoustical standards, and proper land
planning can mitigate noise impacts to noise-sensitive land uses.
Health, Safetv, and Nuisance Factors
The use and transportation of hazardous materials will increase as development proceeds in the N
County West MSA. State, county, and local regulations will preclude significant public health haza
Residential develolpment will occur in areas that are presently or have been used for agricul
production. Chemical residue may exist in soil and affect the health of future residents. Plar
residential neighborhoods may be adjacent to ongoing agricultural operations and public health mal
affected by continual use of agricultural chemicals. Impacts related to past and current agricult
activity can be mitigated by soil testing prior to the development of individual projects and the US
buffers between agricultural and residential areas.
Light and glare levels will increase from additional lighted parking lots, vehicle traffic, street lights,
light-colored and glass building exteriors.
Aesthetics
The aesthetic character of the North County West MSA will change. The landscape will become n
urbanized, some coastal and lagoon views could be obstructed, and scenic corridors coulc
degraded. Some of the views of agricultural and natural areas will be lost or will be transforme
views of residential, commercial, and industrial development. Impacts to aesthetics can be mitigc
by implementation of Local Coastal Plans and local design guidelines. In addition, future developm
projects will be reviewed pursuant to CEQA and mitigation measures will be developed for signific
aesthetic impacts.

Utilities and Public Services
As development occurs in the North County West MSA, the demand for utilities and public services
will incrementally increase. New development will require power, water, and sewer service.
Transmission lines, pipelines, water reservoirs, and regional facilities to treat drinking water and
sewage must be constructed. The development of these types of infrastructure will require land and
easement acquisitions.
Solid waste generation will also increase as development proceeds. Because landfill space is limited
in San Diego County, the cumulative impact could be substantial. If the Source Reduction and
Recycling Element for each city within the North County West MSA is fully implemented, solid waste
generation will be reduced by 50 percent by 2000.
As the population in the North County West MSA expands, the demand for fire protection, law
enforcement, education, and parks and recreation services will increase. Land must be acquired for
new service facilities, equipment must be purchased, and additional personnel hired to accommodate
the demands of anticipated development.
Impacts to utilities and public services can be mitigated by the implementation of local infrastructure
and public service master plans, appropriate land use planning, and local growth management policies.
The utility requirements of future development projects will be assessed by the appropriate jurisdiction
and infrastructure improvements can be included as conditions of approval. As development proceeds,
the tax base will expand and supply additional funds to develop and maintain new public services.
Natural Resources
Substantial acreage of agricultural land exists in the North County West MSA. Future development
will result in the conversion of farmland (inchding Prime Farmland) to urban uses. Conversion will only
occur when the profits from economic development exceed the profits from agricultural production.
Local and County agricultural and open space policy will preserve some farmland acreage in the North
County West MSA and mitigate cumulative impacts.
