ITEM EXPLANATION:
The project is a series of legislative and quasi-judicial actions to certify an Environmental Impact Report, rescind the Kelly Ranch Master Plan and replace it with standard zoning, and to allow for the subdivision of a 174 acre portion of the 433 acre Kelly Ranch into 155 single family residential lots, 4 multi-family residential lots, several open space and recreational lots, and lots for recreational vehicle storage, child care, and the Agua Hedionda Lagoon information center.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider the proposals on April 7, 1999. No members of the public spoke in favor or opposition to the project. The requests were recommended for approval by the Planning Commission by a vote of 5-O. Two Planning Commission members
were absent.
More detailed information regarding the proposal is provided in the attached Planning Commission staff report and minutes dated April 7, 1999.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The project will provide funding for major public improvements in Local Facilities Management Zone 8, including Cannon Road. All private development costs will be borne by the developer. Approval of the proposal will not include any City fiscal obligation.
ENVIRONMENTAL:
An EIR was prepared for the project. The EIR was reviewed by a third party, City contracted environmental consulting firm and determined to be complete. Mitigable Impacts to Biological Resources, Land Form, Land Use, Noise and Cultural Resources were identified. Additional information was prepared subsequent to the Planning Commission hearing identifying an additional disturbance to .I1 acres of disturbed coastal sage scrub. The additional information was reviewed by same third party consultant and it was determined that the additional .I 1 acre disturbance to coastal sage scrub is an insignificant modification to a larger significant but mitigable impact. The information has been included as “Additional” and a re-circulation of the document is not required.

The Planning Commission of the City of Carlsbad has reviewed, analyzed and
considered Final EIR 98-05, the environmental impacts therein identified for this project;
the Candidate Findings of Fact (“Findings” or “CEQA Findings”) and the Statement of
Overriding Considerations attached hereto as Exhibit “B”, the Mitigation Monitoring and
Reporting Program (“Program”) attached hereto as Exhibit “C”, prior to
COWING APPROVAL of the project.
The Planning Commission finds that Final EIR 98-05 reflects the independent judgment
of the City of Carlsbad Planning Commission.
The Planning Commission does hereby RECOMMEND APPROVAL, accept as its
own, incorporate as if set forth in full herein, and make each and every one of the findings
contained in the “Candidate Findings of Fact” (Exhibit “B”).
As is more fully identified and set forth in Final EIR 98-05 and in the Candidate Findings
of Fact, the Planning Commission hereby finds pursuant to Public Resources Code
Section 21081 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15091 that the mitigation measures
described as feasible in the above referenced documents, are feasible, and will become
binding upon the entity assigned thereby to implement same.
As is also noted in the above referenced environmental documents described in the above
finding number 4, each of the alternatives to the project which were identified as
potentially feasible in Final EIR 98-05 are found not to be feasible since they could not
meet both the objectives of the project and avoid the identified significant environmental
effects through implementation of feasible mitigation measures, for the reasons set forth
in said Candidate Findings of Fact.
The Planning Commission hereby finds that the Program is designed to ensure that
during project implementation the Developer and any other responsible parties implement
the project components and comply with the feasible mitigation measures identified in
the Candidate Findings of Fact and the Program.
Changes or alterations have been required in or incorporated into the project which
mitigate or avoid most significant effects identified in the EIR.
Even after the adoption of all feasible mitigation measures and any feasible alternatives,
certain significant or potentially significant environmental effects caused by the project,
will remain. Therefore, the Planning Commission hereby recommends that the City
Council of the City of Carlsbad issue, pursuant to Section 15093 of the CEQA
Guidelines, a Statement of Overriding Considerations set forth in Exhibit “B”,
which identifies the specific economic, social, and other considerations that render the
unavoidable significant adverse environmental effects acceptable.
The Record of Proceedings for this project consists of the following:

(March 16, 1999)
BEFORE THE CARLSBAD CITY COUNCIL
RE: Kelly Ranch General Plan Amendment and “Core Area” Subdivision (CT 97-l 6)
FINDINGS OF FACT
I. INTRODUCTION
A Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR 83-4/SCH #83042707) for the Kelly Ranch
Master Plan (MP-l 74) was certified by the City of Carlsbad in 1984. This FEIR addressed
the entire 432.2-acre Kelly Ranch property, including the area identified as the “Core
Area.” The City approved the Kelly Ranch Master Plan following the certification of the
FEIR. Activities undertaken pursuant to the Master Plan approval include:
l Recording of an Irrevocable Offer to Dedicate Fee Title and Irrevocable Offer to
Dedicate Open Space and Declaration of Restriction over the wetland areas (i.e.,
Agua Hedionda Lagoon) and steep slope areas;
l Grading of Cannon Road and portions of the Kelly Ranch “Core Area”;
l Approval of construction documents for Cannon Road; and
l Approval of development plans for Planning Area “E” (CT 96-07).
The following related events occurred after the approval of the Kelly Ranch Master Plan:
l The City of Carlsbad adopted a Growth Management Plan, Local Facilities
Management Plans, Coastal Resources Protection Overlay Zone, Hillside
Development Regulations, Landscape Manual, and General Plan Update (1994);
l The California Coastal Commission approved a Coastal Permit (#6-84-617) for the
Kelly Ranch Master Plan;
l The California gnatcatcher was listed as a “threatened” species by the U.S. Fish &
Wildlife Service in 1993; and
l The City prepared a draft Habitat Management Plan for Natural Communities in the
City of Carlsbad.
The applicant now proposes a General Plan Amendment (GPA) to rescind the Kelly Ranch
Master Plan and to apply General Plan land use designations of the Updated General Plan
(1994) to the property. A Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (FSEIR 98-
05/SCH #98041067) has been prepared on the current project to address the potential
environmental effects of a General Plan Amendment and Zoning Reclassification of the
entire Kelly Ranch property (432.2 acres).
The FSEIR also addresses amendments to the Local Coastal Plan and Local Facilities
Management Plan. A proposed subdivision of the Kelly Ranch “Core Area” portion (168.3
acres) of Kelly Ranch is also addressed in the FSEIR.
In addition to the Kelly Ranch project, the FSEIR evaluated a No Project/No Development
Alternative, and a Kelly Ranch Master Plan Alternative.

II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
General Plan Amendment & Zone Change
Table 1 summarizes the characteristics of the proposed General Plan Amendment and
Zoning Reclassification. In Planning Areas “A,” “D, ” “G,” and “H” the current Residential
Medium Density (RM) designation would be changed to Residential Medium-High Density
(RMH). In Planning Areas “C,” “I,” and “J” the Residential Medium Density (RM)
designation would be changed to Residential Low-Medium Density (RLM). The residential
designation would remain unchanged in Areas “E,” “K,” and “L.”
The Travel/Recreation Commercial (T/R) designation in Area “F” would be changed to Open
Space (OS) and Residential Professional (R-P). The City of Carlsbad approved this area as
the “Agua Hedionda Visitor/Nature Center” during the Draft Supplemental Environmental
Impact Report (DSEIR) public review period.
The proposed General Plan Amendment would permit a maximum of 1 ,184 dwelling units
within the entire Kelly Ranch property (733 du in the “Core Area” and 451 du in the “Non-
Core” area). However, the subdivision proposes only 656 dwelling units in the “Core
Area.” Thus, the project proposes 10 percent fewer units in the “Core Area” than would
be permitted by the proposed General Plan Amendment.
Rescind Kelly Ranch Master Plan
The project proposes to rescind the Kelly Ranch Master Plan (MP-174) in conjunction with
the approval of a General Plan Amendment (GPA) and Zoning Reclassification. As shown
in the bottom section of Table 1, the existing Kelly Ranch Master Plan approved 1,600
dwelling units within the Kelly Ranch property.
Subdivision (CT 97-16)
The proposed subdivision (CT 97-l 6) would develop the 168.3-acre Kelly Ranch “Core
Area” with 161 single-family units and 495 multi-family units. Twenty-seven percent
(132) of the 495 multi-family units would be affordable units.
Forty-six acres (27%) of the “Core Area” would be retained in open space. An irrevocable
offer to dedicate the open space to the City of Carlsbad as a conservation easement would
be made as a condition of approval. An additional 35.4 acres (21%) of the site are
constrained from development by steep slopes and power lines. The proposed
development would occupy 84.5 acres (52%) of the site.
Table 1 also lists the land use of the “Non-Core” Planning Areas (Areas “A,” “B,” “C,” and
“E”). These areas are not included in Tract 97-16, but are included in the General Plan
Amendment and Rezone actions. Planning Area “L” is not a part of the proposed
subdivision.

Local Coastal Plan Amendment
An amendment to the Mello II Local Coastal Plan (LCP) is proposed to eliminate references
to the Master Plan because the currently proposed project proposes to rescind the Master
Plan. The currently proposed project would develop the same area designated for
development in the Master Plan, but at a lesser density. An amendment of the LCP Map is
also proposed to achieve consistency between the General Plan Land Use Map and the LCP
Map.
Zone 8 Local Facilities Master Plan Amendment
An amendment of the Zone 8 Local Facilities Management Plan (LFMP) is proposed to
update the adopted plan to reflect the change in circumstances with the approval of this
project.
Project Objectives
The following statements represent the objectives of the project applicant. These
objectives also provide a basis for identification of project alternatives described in the
FSEIR. In arriving at its final decision, the decision-makers took into consideration
objectives set forth in the FSEIR.
l Development of a residential subdivision at a density consistent with the City of
Carlsbad General Plan, Growth Management Plan, Local Coastal Plan, and Hillside
Development Ordinance.
l Development of a residential neighborhood, including single-family and multi-family
units.
l Development of a residential community compatible with surrounding land uses.
. Locate residential units to maximize view opportunities while preserving the integrity
of off-site viewsheds.
l Identify and preserve, to the greatest extent practical, the known environmental
resources on the property.
l Preserve native habitat in open space that is consistent with the open space shown
in the draft City of Carlsbad Habitat Management Plan.
Project Phasing
Development of the Kelly Ranch “Core Area” is anticipated to occur over a two-year time
period (2000--200 1). The entire infrastructure required for the project would be
constructed in this time period.

Intended Uses of the EIR
The following list identifies the approvals and permits that will be under consideration by
the City Council as part of the proposed project.
1. General Plan Amendment (GPA) and Zone Change: The GPA would apply the
Updated (1994) General Plan land use designation to the property. A concurrent
Zone Change would apply consistent zoning designations to the property.
2. Rescind Kelly Ranch Master Plan: The permitted uses and zoning regulations
established by the Master Plan would be rescinded, and replaced by the adopted
City General Plan and Zoning Ordinance requirements.
3. Local Coastal Plan (LCP) Amendment: The LCP amendment would delete references
to the Kelly Ranch Master Plan.
4. Vacate and Rerecord LCP Open Space Easement: A revised open space easement
would be recorded to reflect changes to the open space boundaries that maximize
the preservation of sensitive biological resources.
5. Carlsbad Tract Map 97-16: The tract map would subdivide the property into single-
family and multi-family lots.
6. Hillside Development Permit: Proposed grading of the project site must be in
conformance with the City’s Hillside Development Ordinance.
7. Site Development Permit: A site development permit is required because the
property would have a Qualified Development Overlay Zone designation.
8. Coastal Development Permit: The project is located within the California Coastal
Zone, thereby necessitating a Coastal Development Permit.
Ill. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
For the purposes of CEQA and the findings set forth below, the administrative record of the
City Council decision on the environmental analysis of this Project shall consist of the
following:
l The August 25, 1998 Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (DSEIR) and
November 23, 1998 FSEIR for the Project., including appendices and technical
reports;
l All reports, applications, memoranda, maps, letters, and other planning documents
prepared by the project engineering, design, and architecture consultants, the
environmental consultant, and the City of Carlsbad that are before the decision
makers as determined by the City Clerk;
Kellv Ranch Genera/ Plan Amefrdment & “Core Area” Subdivision Findinas of Fact
l All documents submitted by members of the public and public agencies in
connection with the EIR on the project;
l Minutes of all workshops, public meetings and public hearings held by the City of
Carlsbad;
l Any documentary or other evidence submitted at workshops, public meetings and
public hearings; and
l Matters of common knowledge to the City of Carlsbad which they consider,
including but not limited to, the following:
. Carlsbad General Plan;
n Carlsbad Zoning Ordinance;
. Local Facilities Management Plan for Zone 8; and
n Local Coastal Program.
The City has received six comment letters on the August 25, 1998 DSEIR. Those
comments are set forth in the November 23, 1998 FSEIR together with the responses
thereto. In addition, certain of the comments have been addressed in margin notes to the
text of the draft EIR. The City has considered all the comments to the DSEIR and has
addressed those comments adequately and properly in accordance with CEQA. The City’s
responses represent a good faith and reasonable analysis, supported by factual information
in the record. The City’s responses to the comments are proper and as required under
CEQA.
IV TERMINOLOGY/THE PURPOSE OF FINDINGS UNDFR CEQA
Section 15091 of the State CEQA Guidelines requires that, for each significant
environmental effect identified in an EIR for a Project, the approving agency must issue a
written finding reaching one or more of the three allowable conclusions. The first is that
“[clhanges or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which
avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect as identified in the Final
EIR.” (emphasis added). The second potential finding is that “[sluch changes or alterations
are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of another public agency and not the agency
making the finding. Such changes have been adopted by such other agency or can and
should be adopted by such other agency.” The third permissible conclusion is that
“[slpecific economic, social or other considerations make infeasible the mitigation measures
or project alternatives identified in the Final EIR.”
Regarding the first of the three potential findings, the State CEQA Guidelines do not define
the difference between “avoiding” a significant environmental effect and merely
“substantially lessening” such an effect. The meaning of these terms, therefore, must be
gleaned from other context in which they are used. Public Resources Code Section 21081,
on which CEQA Guidelines Section 15091 is based, uses the term “mitigate” rather than
“substantially lessen.” The State CEQA Guidelines, therefore, equate “mitigating” with
“substantially lessening.“ Such an understanding of the statutory term is consistent with
Public Resources Code Section 21001, which declares the legislature’s policy disfavoring
7 ag
the approval of project with significant environmental effects where there are feasible
mitigation measures or alternatives that could “avoid or substantially lessen” such
significant effects.
For purposes of these findings, the term “avoid” shall refer to the ability of one or more
mitigation measures to reduce an otherwise significant effect to a less-than-significant
/eve/. In contrast, the term “substantially lessen” shall refer to the ability of such measures
to substantially reduce the severity of a significant effect, but not to reduce the effect to a
level of insignificance. Although State CEQA Guidelines Section 15091 requires only that
approving agencies specify that a particular significant effect is “avoid[edl PI substantially
lessen[edI,” these findings, for purposes of clarity, will specify whether the effect in
question has been fully avoided (and thus reduced to a level of insignificance) or has been
substantially lessened (and thus remains significant).
The purpose of these findings is to systematically restate the significant effects of the
project on the environment identified in the FSEIR, and determine the feasibility of
mitigation measures and project alternatives identified in the FSEIR which would avoid or
substantially lessen those significant effects. Once the City has adopted sufficient
measures to avoid a significant impact, the City does not need to adopt every mitigation
measure brought to its attention or identified in the FSEIR.
It is the policy of the State of California and the City of Carlsbad to not approve a project if
there are available feasible mitigation measures or project alternatives that would
substantially lessen that project’s significant environmental effects. Only when such
mitigation measures or project alternatives are found to be infeasible because of specific
economic, social or other conditions set forth in these findings may the City approve a
project in spite of its significant effects.
Another purpose of these findings is to bring focus on project alternatives in the ultimate
decision-maker’s decision whether to approve or disapprove the project. If, after
application of all feasible mitigation measures to the project, significant impacts remain,
project alternatives identified in the FSEIR must be reviewed and determined to be feasible
or infeasible. The findings set forth the reasons, based on substantial evidence in the
record, that the decision-makers conclude any such project alternatives are infeasible (see
further discussion in Feasibility of Alternatives Section).
V. LEGAL EFFECT OF FINDINGS
To the extent that these findings conclude that proposed mitigation measures outlined in
the FSEIR are feasible and have not been modified, superseded or withdrawn, the City of
Carlsbad (“City” or “decisions makers”) hereby binds itself and any other responsible
parties, including the Applicant and its successors in interest (hereinafter referred to as
“Applicant”), to implement those measures. These findings, in other words, are not merely
informational or hortatory, but constitute a binding set of obligation that will come into
effect when the City adopts the resolution(s) approving the project.
8
26
The adopted mitigation measures are express conditions of approval. Other requirements
are referenced in the mitigation monitoring program adopted concurrently with these
findings, and will be effectuated through the process of implementing the project.
VI. ITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM
As required by Public Resources Code section 21081.6, the City of Carlsbad, in adopting
these findings, also adopts a mitigation monitoring and reporting program as prepared by
the environmental consultant under the direction of the City. The program is designed to
ensure that during project implementation, the Applicant and other responsible parties
comply with the feasible mitigation measures identified below. The program is described in
the document entitled “Kelly Ranch General Plan Amendment and ‘Core Area’ Subdivision
(CT 97-l 6) Mitigation Monitoring Program.”
VII. IMPACTS DETERMINED TO BE INSIGNIFICANT
The following summary briefly describes impacts determined to be insignificant in the
preparation of the EIR.
Relevant Planning Programs
l Annexation to the City of Carlsbad deleted County of San Diego jurisdiction
(FEIR 83-4, p. 59).
l Regarding Land Use Element, see Section VIII below.
l Regarding Circulation Element, see following Transportation/Circulation
discussion.
l Public Safety Element floodproofing measures are not applicable to the “Core
Area” project; fuel modification measures are incorporated into the project
design; adequate water pressure is assured by the Zone 8 LFMP; adequate
access for fire equipment is incorporated into the project design (FEIR 83-4, p.
60).
l The Scenic Highways Element has been deleted from the General Plan. See
Section VIII below regarding landform/visual resources effects on scenic
corridors (FEIR 83-4, p. 60).
l The dedication of the Agua Hedionda Visitor/Nature Center is consistent with,
and satisfies the requirements of, the Parks and Recreation Element (FEIR 83-4,
p. 60).
l The dedication of biologically sensitive open space (46.0 acres), and constrained
open space (35.4 acres), is consistent with, and satisfies the requirements of,
the Open Space and Conservation Element (FEIR 83-4, p. 60).
Kellv Ranch General Plan Amendment & I Co re Area m Sub&vision Findinas of Fact
l The Mello II LCP is proposed to be amended to delete references to the Kelly
Ranch Master Plan. The “Core Area” project is not included in the Agua
Hedionda LCP (FEIR 83-4, p. 60).
l No action by the Local Agency Formation Commission is required.
l The project adheres to the Areawide Water Quality Management (208) Plan as
well as with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit
requirements (FEIR 83-4, p. 60).
l Regarding California Fish & Game Code, see Section VIII below.
Agricultural Resources
The Carlsbad Local Coastal Program Mello II Segment contains policies specifically
applicable to the Kelly Ranch “Core Area.” Policy 3-5 of the Mello II Segment specifies
that the maximum development allowed in the Kelly Ranch/Macario Canyon Area is set
forth in the Kelly Ranch Master Plan, as approved by Coastal Commission Permit (#6-84-
617) (FSEIR, p. 2.2.8). The Mello II LCP Policy 3-5 specifically waives any requirements
regarding mitigation for conversion of agricultural land to urban uses for the Kelly property
(FSEIR, p. 2.2.8).
Socio-economics
The City has implemented a housing program to address the City’s unmet moderate and
low-income housing needs. Subsequent development proposals are evaluated to determine
the number of low and moderate income housing units required to be included in the
project (FEIR 83-4, p. 69, and FSEIR, Table 1 .l .l).
Transportation/Circulation
No significant adverse traffic impacts were identified because the project circulation is the
same as assumed in the previous Kelly Ranch EIR (FEIR 83-4, p. 73) traffic analysis. The
circulation system proposed for the current project is consistent with the system assumed
in the Kelly Ranch FEIR 83-4.
The adopted Kelly Ranch Master Plan would permit a maximum of 1,600 dwelling units to
be constructed (FSEIR 89-05, Table 1.1 .l 1. The maximum density that would be permitted
by the 1994 General Plan is 1,258 dwelling units. The maximum number of units that
would be permitted by the proposed General Plan Amendment is 1,184 dwelling units.
Thus, the proposed maximum development and resulting number of Average Daily Trips
would be substantially less than permitted by the existing General Plan. This reduction in
trips would lessen the adverse traffic impacts identified in the 1988 Zone 8 Local Facilities
Management Plan and the 1994 General Plan Master EIR. The currently designed
improvements for Cannon Road have taken into account anticipated Zone 8 traffic.
Development within Kelly Ranch is planned to coincide with the construction of Cannon
Road.
10
Public Services
The Zone 8 Local Facilities Management Plan Amendment (B) prepared in conjunction with
the proposed General Plan Amendment and Kelly Ranch “Core Area” Tentative Map
identifies existing public services facilities and facilities required to be constructed, or
public facility fees to be paid. As reported in LFMP Amendment (B), adequate fire and
police protection, libraries, roads, and other public facilities are assured through the
mandated implementation of the LFMP. LFMP Amendment (B) requires discretionary
projects to show evidence that school facility impacts have been mitigated as determined
by Carlsbad Unified School District (FSEIR, Appendix A, p. 17).
Utilities and Service systems
The Zone 8 Local Facilities Management Plan Amendment (B) prepared in conjunction with
the proposed General Plan Amendment and Kelly Ranch Tentative Map identifies existing
public services facilities and facilities required to be constructed, or public facility fees to
be paid. As reported in LFMP Amendment (B), adequate water, sewer, and storm drains,
are assured through the mandated implementation of the LFMP. Drainage and sewer
facilities required to be constructed concurrent with the Kelly Ranch development are
illustrated in LFMP Amendment (B) (FSEIR, Appendix A, p. 17).
Gas, electric, telephone, and solid waste services are available to the site by various utility
providers in the region. The demand for such services is within the capability of the
service providers.
Population and Housing
The approved Kelly Ranch Master Plan would permit a maximum of 1,600 dwelling units,
and the existing General Plan land use designation would permit a maximum of 1,258
dwelling units. The proposed General Plan designations would allow a maximum of 1 ,158
dwelling units to be constructed in the entire Kelly Ranch property, and 733 units in the
“Core Area. n The proposed “Core Area” Tract Map includes only 656 dwelling units.
Thus, the project proposes to construct fewer dwelling units than is permitted by the
existing General Plan, or by the proposed General Plan Amendment (see FSEIR Table
1.1.1).
The site is in an area designated for development, and is bordered on the north and east by
residential development. Major extension of public services and infrastructure is not
required to serve the site. Existing housing would not be displaced by the development.
Energy and Mineral Resources
The Kelly Ranch project is consistent with the General Plan Housing Element. Goal 4 of the
element is to balance residential and non-residential development that promotes energy
conservation by reducing home-to-work trips. Housing Element Action Program 5.1
implements residential energy efficient standards as required by State Title 24 guidelines,
and also requires subdivisions to incorporate solar orientation to reduce heating and cooling
c29
Kellv Ranch Gene& Plan Amendment & ” Core Area ” Subdl ‘vision Findinas of Fact
costs. The Kelly Ranch subdivision is consistent with Goal 4, and incorporates the
provisions of Action Program 5.1 (FSEIR, Appendix A, p. 16).
Hazards
The proposed Kelly Ranch development is consistent with the City of Carlsbad Emergency
P/an, and does not include any uses that would likely involve accidental explosions, or a
release of hazardous materials. The City regulates the storage and disposal of hazardous
materials as required by Action Program C.3 of the General Plan Public Safety Element
(FSEIR, Appendix A, p. 16).
Two 138 kV transmission lines cross Kelly Ranch in a northeast-southwest alignment along
Cannon Road. The proposed residential areas are located a minimum of 100 feet from the
transmission lines. The General Plan Master EIR addressed electro magnetic fields (EMFs)
and indicates that scientific research has not conclusively established whether or not EMFs
are harmful to human health.
Portions of the Kelly Ranch property have been used for agricultural production. Residues
of chemicals used in the agricultural operations may remain in the soil. The General Plan
Master EIR includes a mitigation measure that requires a detailed soil testing be conducted
on agricultural land and a report submitted to the City prior to the approval of discretionary
permits. The required report shall specify any required actions to remediate identified
significant public health impacts. A report for the Kelly Ranch property will be submitted to
the City of Carlsbad.
Preserved habitat areas containing high fuel plant species are proposed in close to the
proposed residential areas. The design of the Tentative Map incorporates the provisions of
the City’s Landscape Manual as well as fire suppression provisions required by the Fire
Chief (FSEIR, Appendix A, p. 15).
Recreation
The Zone 8 Local Facilities Management Plan Amendment lB) prepared in conjunction with
the proposed General Plan Amendment and Kelly Ranch Tentative Map analyzed the
adequacy of park and recreational facilities in Northwest Quadrant Park District. The
analysis concluded the supply of parklands exceeds demand, and that the project conforms
to the adopted park performance standards (FSEIR, Appendix A, p. 18).

VIII. DIRECT SIGNIFICANT EFFECTS OF THE PROJECT & MITIGATION
MEASURES
The FSEIR identified the following direct significant environmental effects (or “impacts”)
that the project will cause; all can be fully avoided through the adoption of feasible
mitigation measures.
A. Biological Resources
Biological Resources Impacts
l Development of the proposed Kelly Ranch “Core Area” project would result in the
loss of 22.22 acres (22.09 acres on-site and 0.13 acres off-site) of coastal sage
scrub. The project would impact 5.02 acres of southern maritime chaparral. The
project would impact 0.6 acres of mule fat scrub, 0.8 acres of riparian herb, and
0.03 acre of southern willow scrub. These impacts are considered significant
impacts as the vegetation communities have been identified as sensitive resources
(FSEIR, p. 2.1.9).
l Two California gnatcatcher use areas would be impacted by the construction of
Cannon Road. Both of these use areas include adjacent habitat within the Kelly
Ranch “Core Area.” The Section 4(d) Permit granted for the construction of Cannon
Road, and the Section 4 (d) Permit for the Area “F” Nature Center, included the
“take” of gnatcatchers and loss of habitat along Cannon Road.
l The Kelly Ranch “Core Area” primary connectivity is with Agua Hedionda Lagoon to
the north and west, and with the proposed Carlsbad Municipal Golf Course to the
south. The habitat and wildlife connection across the “Core Area” would be
significantly impacted by the Kelly Ranch project because north to south movement
would be reduced by the nearness of human activity. However, a modified linkage
could continue to exist if it is revegetated with appropriate plant materials.
However, the suite of animals utilizing the corridor would change with an altered
mosaic of vegetation. Corridor use by mid-sized and small mammals, as well as
reptiles, is expected to be substantially reduced by the development of the Kelly
Ranch “Core Area.” These impacts are considered significant impacts as the
vegetation communities have been identified as sensitive resources (FSEIR, p.
2.1.9).
In general, avian flight corridor access would be maintained, or even improved, for
all species except sage scrub and chaparral resident bird species. Planting of native
plants on the periphery of development areas could even maintain some linkage for
these sage scrub and chaparral species. Retaining bands of sage scrub and
chaparral strictly for corridor utility has merit, but would likely require revegetation
of inappropriate stretches of habitat, which are presently disturbed.
l Street lights and parking lot lighting in Planning Area “F,” and along the project
roadways could negatively affect nocturnal use of the wetlands west of Cannon
Road by mammals. These impacts are considered significant impacts as the
13 31
General Plan Amet rdment & I I . . . Core Area Subdwsron . . mdlnqs of Fact
vegetation communities have been identified as sensitive resources (FSEIR, p.
2.1.9).
l The proposed trail segment #24 along the eastern project would result in further
habitat degradation (i.e., loss of southern maritime chaparral) in an area already
limited in its habitat viability as a local use corridor. These impacts are considered
significant impacts as the vegetation communities have been identified as sensitive
resources (FSEIR, p. 2.1.9).
l The conceptual landscape plan proposes to use exotic plantings on slopes that
would be adjacent to open space areas. The exotic materials are incompatible with
the existing native vegetation on-site. These impacts are considered significant
impacts as the vegetation communities have been identified as sensitive resources
(FSEIR, p. 2.1.9).
Biological Resources Finding
Pursuant to Section 15091 (a) (1) of the State CEQA Guidelines, changes or
alteration are required in, or incorporated into, the project that will avoid the
significant environmental effect as identified in the FSEIR. The following mitigation
measures would reduce the impact to below a level of significance.
Biological Resources Mitigation Measures
1.
2.
The existing desiltation basin west of Cannon Road’ in Planning Area “F” shall be
enlarged by 1.43 acres and planted with mule fat scrub and riparian herb vegetation
to replace the loss of wetland vegetation in the detention basin at the intersection of
the Cannon Road and Street “AA.” If this area is not sufficient for a “no net loss” of
wetland vegetation, as determined by a Section 404 permit, additional wetlands
shall be created in the portion of Agua Hedionda Lagoon north and west of Cannon
Road that is owned by the Kelly Land Company. One potential site is an area of
scattered eucalyptus at the mouth of Macario Canyon, just west of a utility access
road into the marsh (See FSEIR Figures 2.1.3 and 2.1.6). This location contains
weedy upland plants and trees that are slightly higher than the surrounding marsh.
A Wetland Restoration Plan shall be prepared subject to the approval of a Section
404 permit, prior to the issuance of a grading permit. Performance criteria to be
met by the restoration plan are contained in Table 2.1.5 of the FSEIR.
The 22.22 acres of coastal sage scrub impact shall be mitigated at a 2:1 ratio
(44.44 acres). Approximately 38.77 acres would be retained by the proposed “Core
Area” project. Thus, an additional 5.67 acres of mitigation is required. The
manufactured slope on the south side of the private drive connecting Planning Area
“K” to Street “BB” shall be planted with coastal sage scrub (see FSEIR Figure
2.1.3). This area contains 1.85 acres. The manufactured slopes (containing 1.62
acres) along Street “HH” shall be planted with coastal sage scrub. The
manufactured slope created to the rear of Lots 9-28 (1.75 acres) shall be planted
with coastal sage scrub. Planting these slopes with coastal sage scrub would
enhance the utility of the corridor linkage between the city-owned golf course
property and Agua Hedionda lagoon. These slope areas contain a total of 5.22

acres. The revegetation plans for these restoration areas shall incorporate the City
Fire Department requirements for fire clearing.
Several small patches of non-native grasslands and ruderal growth within the on-site
open spaces could also be revegetated with appropriate coastal sage scrub plant
materials if the areas are not required for mitigation of non-native grasslands (see
Mitigation Measure #I 1). Non-native exotic plant species, particularly invasive plant
species, are to be specifically excluded from the revegetation plan. Ruderal and
non-native grasslands are located in the following proposed open space areas:
Planning Area H 0.46 acPlanning Area I 0.03 acPlanning Area J
0.18 ac
Planning Area K 1.03 ac
Total 1.70 ac
4. If the entire 5.67 acres of coastal sage scrub mitigation cannot be accomplished on-
site, the remaining mitigation shall be accomplished off-site. If feasible, this
dedication should occur within the core habitat and linkage areas within Zone 8.
5. The 5.02 acres of southern maritime chaparral impacted by the project shall be
mitigated at a 2:l ratio by the on-site dedication of southern maritime chaparral, or
the purchase of mitigation credits in established mitigation banks (e.g., the Encinitas
mitigation bank selling maritime chaparral credits), or by the acquisition of open
space easements for off-site maritime chaparral habitat within the City of Carlsbad.
6. The grading for Lots 54-55 and 67-69 should be reduced as shown on Figure 2.1.5
of the FSEIR. This would reduce the level of southern maritime chaparral impacts
by 0.24 acre.
7. Fuel management clearing activities should be monitored by a biologist to ensure
that sensitive shrubs are left in place to the extent feasible.
8. During project construction a biologist should monitor clearing activities at the
interface between the residential areas and the sage scrub/chaparral habitat areas to
minimize the jettisoning of construction debris into the open space.
9. Fencing shall be installed at the rear of lots adjacent to native vegetation open space
areas to discourage entry into the open space by future residents.
1 O.Signage shall be installed at points where the dedicated open space could be
accessed by the public to notify the public that access into dedicated open space
areas is restricted.
1 1 .Non-native grasslands are not classified as a “sensitive” habitat by the draft HMP.
However, the state and federal resource agencies are requesting that non-native
grasslands be mitigated at a 0.5:1 ratio to maintain raptor foraging areas. The
“Core Area” project would need to preserve 10.45 acres of non-native grassland to
achieve this ratio. The project design preserves 1.89 acres of non-native grassland,
however mitigation measure #3 recommends revegetating these areas with coastal
sage scrub. The Kelly Ranch project granted an irrevocable offer of dedication over
15 3s
181 acres of land encompassing the Agua Hedionda Lagoon as a condition of the
original approval. The original approval included the development of the Kelly Ranch
“Core Area.” The area offered for dedication protects a substantial and critical
raptor foraging habitat, albeit with different habitat values. The previous dedication
of 181 acres provides adequate compensating raptor foraging habitat, and no
further mitigation is considered necessary.
12. Grading within Planning Area “K” should be limited to the area shown in Figure
2.1.4 of the FSEIR. This would minimize impacts to the adjacent open space and
enhance the corridor connection across the access road (see Mitigation Measure
#2). [Note: The subdivision and grading of Area “K” is not proposed as part of the
current development project, but a development proposal may be submitted in the
future, and will be subject to subsequent CEQA review.]
13. Nighttime light levels shall be reduced by placing shields on streetlights. The light
fixtures shall be mounted so as to direct light away from Agua Hedionda Lagoon so
as to prevent illumination or “spillover’ onto riparian habitat.
14.The slope easterly of the Lot 162 multi-family housing structures in Planning Area
“D” shall be planted with the coastal sage scrub native plant mix listed on Sheet 5
of the Landscape Plan.
15.Trail segment #24 as shown on the General Plan Conceptual Open Space and
Conservation Map should not be constructed across the Kelly Ranch “Core Area”
property to avoid additional impacts to sensitive maritime chaparral that is proposed
to be retained in open space. If this trail segment must be constructed to satisfy
the requirement of Land Use mitigation measures #3 and #4, the least impactive
route possible should be selected in coordination with the U.S. Fish & Wildlife
Service. The applicant has proposed an alternative trail alignment as shown in
Figure 1 .l .I 1 of the FSEIR. This alignment would avoid all of the southern maritime
chaparral impacts associated with Trail segment 24. Only minor impacts to coastal
sage scrub would result.
16.Clearing during the breeding season of the California gnatcatcher (Feb. 15 to Aug.
30) shall be precluded unless specifically authorized by the City of Carlsbad, U.S.
Fish & Wildlife Service, and California Department of Fish & Game. Clearing of land
adjacent to the lagoon during the breeding season of the least Bell’s Vireo (Mar. 15
to Sept. 15) shall be precluded unless specifically authorized by the City of
Carlsbad, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, and California Department of Fish & Game.
17.Lots 75-77 shown on the tentative map shall be deleted and the area dedicated as
biological open space. The disturbed portions of these lots shall be revegetated
with appropriate coastal sage scrub plant materials. Non-native exotic plant
species, particularly invasive plant species, are to be specifically excluded from the
revegetation plan.

Biological Resources Conclusions
Implementation of the mitigation measures listed in the preceding section would
reduce biological impacts to a less than significant level.
B. Land Use
Land Use Impacts
The Kelly Ranch “Core Area” subdivision map does not provide for a trail segment (#23)
along Cannon Road. Further, the project does not provide for a trail segment (#24)
within Planning Area “J.” Trail segment #24 would connect with segment #23 near
the location of the Agua Hedionda Visitor/Interpretative Center. This is considered to
be a significant impact because the Citywide Trail System as shown on the
Conceptual Open Space and Conservation Map of the Open Space and Conservation
Element of the Carlsbad General Plan would be incomplete without these segments.
Land Use Finding
Pursuant to Section 15091 (a) (1) of the State CEQA Guidelines, changes or
alteration are required in, or incorporated into, the project that will avoid the
significant environmental effect as identified in the FSEIR. The following mitigation
measures would reduce the impact to below a level of significance.
Land Use Mitigation Measures
1. Prior to recordation of a final map for Planning Areas “D” or “G,” an irrevocable offer
of dedication shall be made for a 20-foot wide easement immediately adjacent to the
eastern Cannon Road right-of-way, extending from the easement and trail segment
off-site within Planning Area “E” of Kelly Ranch, and running along Cannon Road to
the southern project boundary.
2. Prior to pad certification for Planning Areas “D,” “G” or “H,” the developer shall
construct the trail segment along Cannon Road from Planning Area “E” to the
southern project boundary. The developer shall maintain the trail until such time as
trail maintenance is accepted by the City.
3. Prior to recordation of a final map for Planning Area “J,” an irrevocable offer of
dedication shall be made for a 12-foot wide easement (or floating easement if no
location can be determined), extending from the off-site Evans Point subdivision, to
the southern project boundary. The applicant has proposed an alternative trail
alignment as shown in Figure 1 .l .l 1 of the FSEIR. This alignment would avoid
all of the southern maritime chaparral impacts associated with Trail Segment 24.
Only minor impacts to coastal sage scrub would result.

4. Prior to pad certification for Planning Area “J,” the developer shall construct the
trail segment from Evans Point to the southern project boundary. The developer
shall maintain the trail until such time as trail maintenance is accepted by the
City.
Land Use Conclusions
With the implementation of the above mitigation measures, the proposed Kelly Ranch
project land uses would be consistent with the City of Carlsbad General Plan and Zoning
Ordinance, and all other applicable policies, ordinances and programs.
C. LandformNisual Resources
LandformNisual Resources Impacts
The southernmost multi-family residential buildings and parking lots in Planning
Areas “G” and “H” would be clearly visible from the golf course and park planned
for the area to the south. This is considered to be a significant impact due to the
lack of landscaping proposed along the perimeter of the housing and parking areas.
LandformNisual Resources Finding
Pursuant to Section 15091 (a) (I 1 of the State CEQA guidelines, changes or
alteration are required in, or incorporated into, the project that will avoid the
significant environmental effect as identified in the FSEIR. The following mitigation
measures would reduce the impact to below a level of significance.
LandformNisual Resources Mitigation Measures
1. The Refined Landscape Zone (Zone 2) shown in the Landscape Concept Plan
shall be extended around the southern edge of the multi-family housing in
Planning Areas “G” and “H.”
Landform/Visual Resources Conclusion
The off-site southerly view impacts would be reduced to a less than significant level
by the implementation of the mitigation measure included in the preceding
discussion.
D. Noise
Noise Impacts
The multi-family units proposed to be constructed adjacent to Cannon Road (Lots
162, 165, 167, and 168) would be exposed to the highest noise levels. The multi-
family units nearest Cannon Road would be significantly impacted because the noise
levels in the yard adjacent to the structure would exceed the City standard of 60.0
dB CNEL.
18 36
Noise Finding
Pursuant to Section 15091 (a) (1) of the State CEQA guidelines, changes or
alteration are required in, or incorporated into, the project that will avoid the
significant environmental effect as identified in the FSEIR. The following mitigation
measures would reduce the impact to below a level of significance.
Noise Mitigation Measures
1. Noise barriers, consisting of berms and walls, shall be constructed along the top
of the slope adjacent to Cannon Road as shown in Figure 2.4.1 of the FSEIR.
The required height for the barriers is indicated on Figure 2.4.1. An alternative
barrier for Lot 161 is shown on Figure 2.4.1. This alternative would provide an
equal level of protection for Lot 162 with a shorter barrier height. If selected, an
analysis shall be completed to determine the exact height required to comply
with City noise standards.
The barriers shall have a surface density of at least 3.5 pounds per square-foot,
and have no openings or cracks. The barriers may be constructed of wood studs
with stucco exterior, 3/8 inch plate glass, 5/8 inch Plexiglas, any masonry
material, or a combination of these materials.
2. A calculation of interior noise levels shall be prepared and submitted to the City
of Carlsbad at the time final architectural plans are completed. The calculations
shall demonstrate that the residential building materials (e.g., double pane glass
for windows facing Cannon Road) would reduce interior noise levels to 45 dB or
less.
Noise Conclusions
Implementation of the recommended mitigation measures would reduce noise
impacts to a less than significant level.
E. Cultural Resources
Cultural Resources
Based on the data provided in the 1982 Archaeological Associates report, and the
1986 Koerper report, clearly Site KR-1 (SDI-9649) qualifies as a significant resource.
The site qualifies under criteria 2, 4, 5, and 9 listed in Appendix K of the State
CEQA Guidelines. The Kelly Ranch “Core Area” project could have a significant
effect on the deposits within SDI-9649 because:
l The sample size of the previous testing was too small to actually comply with
the mitigation levels in the 1983 EIR;
l The screen size used was too large to meet- City guidelines;
l Additional subsurface delineation of the eastern portion of the site needs to be
completed; and
19 37
v Ranch &E.GL/ Plan Amerrdment 81 Y # . . . Core Area Subdrvwon Findinas of Fact
l The previous work on SDI-9649 was intended to complete a mitigation program
for the disturbance of 10% of the archaeological site.
The remaining five sites within the Kelly Ranch “Core Area” do not contain the level
of information potential to be recognized as significant. Each of these five non-
significant sites has no subsurface deposit and all surface artifacts have been
recovered.
Cultural Resources Finding
Pursuant to Section 15091 (a) (I) of the State CEQA guidelines, changes or
alteration are required in, or incorporated into, the project that will avoid the
significant environmental effect as identified in the FSEIR. The following mitigation
measures would reduce the impact to below a level of significance.
Cultural Resources Mitigation Measures
1. Brushing of the project site shall be monitored by an archaeologist, so that as
areas are cleared, the property can be assessed for the presence of any
archaeological sites not previously discovered. Any sites that are discovered by
the monitor would be evaluated for significance and, if found to be significant, a
mitigation program would be implemented to address the potential impacts. The
monitor would have the authority to halt or redirect the brushing activity if any
resources are discovered.
2. A data recovery program shall be completed to address the following issues:
l Define the eastern portion of the site to determine the limits of subsurface
deposits.
l Identification of research issues to be evaluated in the research program and
the methodology to be employed to accomplish the research objectives. The
research design must be submitted to the City for review.
l The level of effort should be 1 O-l 5% in the central, most significant portion
of the deposit, 5-10% of the surrounding moderately significant midden, and
2-5% of the peripheral deposit. The laboratory analysis of the recovered
materials should include all aspects of studies typically included in such
programs, such as radiocarbon dating, fauna1 and ecofactual analysis,
obsidian analysis, lithic reduction analysis, residue analysis, and flake
analysis.
3. A monitor shall be present during the grading of the first five to ten feet of soil
throughout the project site. Any buried deposits encountered during grading
would be subject to evaluation, as required by City guidelines.
4. A qualified paleontologist shall: (I) be present at pre-grading conferences: and
(2) coordinate a monitoring and salvage program.
20
Cultural Resources Conclusions
Implementation of the recommended mitigation measures would reduce cultural
resources impacts to a less than significant level.
IX. CUMULATIVE SIGNIFICANT EFFECTS AND MITIGATION
MEASURES
Past, present, and reasonably anticipated projects in the Kelly Ranch project area
that were evaluated in the cumulative effects section of the FSEIR include: Cannon
Road (Reach 1 & 2); Carlsbad Ranch (Legoland); Kelly Ranch “Core Area”; Kelly
Ranch Village “E”; Ranch0 Carlsbad Mobile Home park (Phase 2); and Carlsbad
Municipal Golf Course. Detailed information concerning these projects is contained
in Table 3.1 .I of the FSEIR.
A. Biological Resources
Cumulative Biological Resources Impacts
The cumulative effects of all the projects include coastal sage scrub (70.53 ac.),
southern willow scrub and mule fat (38.48 ac), brackish marsh (0.10 ac.), riparian
herb (1.04 ac.), southern mixed chaparral (3.20 ac.), southern maritime chaparral
(11.27 ac.), non-native grassland (192.99 ac.), and open water (0.14 ac.). Thirteen
California gnatcatcher habitat use areas would be impacted. Information available at
the time of the FSEIR preparation indicates that seventy percent of this impact (9
pr.) is associated with the golf course project. Both Cannon Road and the Kelly
Ranch “Core Area” affect two gnatcatchers habitat use areas. These gnatcatchers
were sighted adjacent to the Cannon Road alignment. Least Bell’s vireo and
southwestern willow flycatchers would be affected only by the Cannon Road
project. Other species cumulatively affected include orangethroat whiptail,
northwestern San Diego pocket mouse, San Diego desert woodrat, prostrate
spineflower, western dichondra, and decumbent goldenbush.
Cumulative Biological Resources Finding
Pursuant to Section 15091 (a) (1) of the State CEQA guidelines, changes or
alteration are required in, or incorporated into, the project that will avoid the
significant environmental effect as identified in the FSEIR.
Cumulative Biological Resources Mitigation Measures
Mitigation measures have been included as conditions of approval for each of the
approved projects. These measures require no net loss of wetlands and compliance
with the federal ESA section 4(d) rule that limits the cumulative loss of coastal sage
scrub in the City of Carlsbad to five percent. The 4(d) rule will remain in effect until
such time as the City’s Habitat Management Plan (HMP) is adopted and the U.S.
Fish & Wildlife Service issues a section lO(a)(l )(B) permit. Subsequent losses of
coastal sage scrub would be limited to that authorized by the Section IO(a)(l)(B)
21 39
permit. Each project approval includes Natural Community Conservation Planning
Program (NCCP) findings that document the consistency of the project with the
NCCP Plan. The Kelly Ranch “Core Area” project would be approved under the
provisions of the HMP section lO(a)(l I(B) permit, or under a separate section
1 O(a)(l I(B) permit.
No mitigation measures beyond those included in each project approval are required
to reduce cumulative impacts to a less than significant level.
Cumulative Biological Resources Conclusions
Each approved project is conditioned to insure that no net loss of wetlands will
occur as a result of project implementation. The ESA Section 4(d) rule limits the
cumulative loss of coastal sage scrub within the City of Carlsbad to five percent.
B. Land Use
Cumulative Land Use Impacts
All of the projects in the area are consistent with the adopted plans of the City of
Carlsbad. The Carlsbad Ranch project and Kelly Ranch “Core Area” project propose
General Plan Amendments to adjust the boundaries of the General Plan land use
areas to reflect the most recent environmental data available and to adjust for
specific development site plans. The cumulatively related projects are compatible
with existing land uses in the area and do not adversely effect the surrounding
areas. The projects are also consistent with the provisions of the draft Habitat
Management Plan.
Cumulative Land Use Finding
No changes or alterations are required in the project to avoid cumulative significant
land use effects.
Cumulative Land Use Mitigation
No mitigation measures beyond those included in each project approval are required
to reduce cumulative impacts to a less than significant level.
Cumulative Land Use Conclusions
No significant land use impacts would result from the development of the
cumulatively related projects.
C. LandformNisual Resources
Cumulative LandformNisual Resources Impacts
All of the cumulatively related projects involve grading and modification of the
existing landforms. The visual effects of the grading are minimized by the
22 ‘rlo
-

adherence to the requirements of the Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone,
Hillside Development Regulations and Guidelines, and the Landscaping Manual. The
City of Carlsbad reviews all projects against the standards established in these
ordinances and policies, and conditions all projects to insure that the standards are
observed. Waivers are granted only when the required findings can be made to
justify a waiver.
Cumulative LandformNisual Resources Finding
No changes or alteration are required in the project to avoid cumulative significant
landform/visual resource effects.
Cumulative LandformNisual Resources Mitigation
No mitigation measures beyond those included in each project approval are required
to reduce cumulative impacts to a less than significant level.
Cumulative Landformhisual Resources Conclusions
No significant landform/visual resource would result from the development of the
cumulatively related projects.
D. Noise
Cumulative Noise Impacts
The noise analyses completed for the cumulatively related projects identified noise
reduction measures that are appropriate for each project. The Ranch0 Carlsbad
Mobile Home Park, Kelly Ranch “Village E,” and Kelly Ranch “Core Area” projects
will be required to construct noise barriers along College Boulevard and Cannon
Road. The Cannon Road project is also required to construct noise barriers at
selected locations to reduce noise levels in adjacent native habitat where sensitive
species would be adversely affected.
Cumulative Noise Finding
No changes or alteration are required in the project to avoid cumulative significant
noise effects.
Cumulative Noise Mitigation
No mitigation measures beyond those included in each project approval are required
to reduce cumulative impacts to a less than significant level.
Cumulative Noise Conclusions
No significant noise impact would result from the development of the cumulatively
related projects.
23
E. Traffic/Circulation
Cumulative Traffic/Circulation Impacts
With mitigation, project-specific impacts will be less than significant. However, as
indicated in the City’s General Plan Master EIR, the implementation of subsequent
projects (e.g., the Kelly Ranch “Core Area” project) that are consistent with, and
included in, the updated 1994 General Plan will result in increased traffic volumes
(FSEIR, p. 3.9). Roadway segments will be adequate to accommodate buildout
traffic; however, 12 full and two partial intersections will be severely impacted by
regional through-traffic over which the City has no jurisdictional control. Regional
related circulation impacts are considered cumulatively significant because of the
failure of intersections at buildout of the General Plan due to regional through-traffic,
therefore, the proposed project’s contribution, although minor, will still contribute to
a significant cumulative impact.
Cumulative Traffic/Circulation Findings
Pursuant to Section 15091 (a) (I) of the State CEQA Guidelines, changes or
alteration are required in, or incorporated into, the project that will avoid the
significant environmental effect as identified in the FSEIR. The cumulative impacts
are anticipated to remain significant. Pursuant to Section 15091 (a)(3) of the State
CEQA Guidelines, there are no feasible measures that would mitigate the impact
below a level of significance. As described in the Statement of Overriding
Considerations, the City Council has determined that this impact is acceptable
because of specific overriding considerations.
Cumulative Traffic/Circulation Mitigation Measures
The proposed project’s design incorporates several traffic mitigation measures
identified in the City’s General Plan Master EIR. These design components include
the provision of trail segments that will provide access to the City’s trail system,
including a trail along Canon Road.
Cumulative Traffic/Circulation Conclusions
Cumulative traffic/circulation impacts on a citywide basis are an unavoidable,
significant impact. A “Statement of Overriding Considerations” must be adopted if
the decision-makers determine to approve the Kelly Ranch project.
F. Air Quality
Cumulative Air Quality Impacts
Project-specific impacts will be less than significant. However, as indicated in the
City’s General Plan Master EIR, the implementation of subsequent projects (e.g., the
Kelly Ranch “Core Area” project) that are consistent with, and included in, the
updated 1994 General Plan will result in increased air emissions in the area (FSEIR,
p. 3.9). Since the San Diego air Basin is a “non-attainment basin,” any additional air
24
Y I(ellv Ranch General Plan Am-tire Area I . . . Sub&won Findinas of Fact
emissions are considered cumulatively significant, therefore, continued development
to buildout as proposed in the updated General Plan will have cumulative significant
impacts on the air quality of the region. Cumulative air quality impacts are
anticipated to remain significant and unavoidable.
Cumulative Air Quality Findings
Pursuant to Section 15091 (a) (1) of the State CEQA Guidelines, changes or
alteration are required in, or incorporated into, the project that will avoid the
significant environmental effect as identified in the FSEIR. The cumulative impacts
are anticipated to remain significant. Pursuant to Section 15091 (a)(3) of the State
CEQA Guidelines, there are no feasible measures that would mitigate the impact
below a level of significance. As described in the Statement of Overriding
Considerations, the City Council has determined that this impact is acceptable
because of specific overriding considerations.
Cumulative Air Quality Mitigation Measures
To lessen or minimize the impact on air quality associated with General Plan
buildout, a variety of mitigation measures are recommended in the final Master EIR.
These include:
1. Provisions for roadway and intersection improvements prior to or concurrent
with development;
2. Measures to reduce vehicle trips through the implementation of congestion
and Transportation Demand Management;
3. Provisions to encourage alternative modes of transportation including mass
transit services;
4. Conditions to promote energy efficient building and site design; and
5. Participation in regional growth management strategies when adopted.
The applicable and appropriate General Plan air quality mitigation measures have
either been incorporated in the design of the Kelly Ranch project or are included as
conditions of project approval.
Cumulative Air Quality Conclusions
Cumulative air quality impacts on a citywide basis are an unavoidable, significant
impact. A “Statement of Overriding Considerations” must be adopted if the
decision-makers determine to approve the Kelly Ranch project.

X. FEASIBILITY OF POTENTIAL PROJECT ALTERNATIVES
Because the project will cause some unavoidable cumulative significant environmental
effects, as outlined above (see Section IX), the City must consider the feasibility of any
environmentally superior alternative to the project, as finally approved. The City must
evaluate whether one or more of these alternatives could avoid or substantially lessen the
unavoidable significant environmental effects. Citizens for Quality Growth v. City of Mount
Shasta (1988) 198 Cal. App. Ed 433 [243 Cal. Rptr. 7271; see also Public Resources Code
Section 21002. Because it is a judgement call whether an alternative is environmentally
superior these findings contrast and compare all of the alternatives in the FSEIR.
In general, in preparing and adopting findings a lead agency need not necessarily address
the feasibility of both mitigation measures and environmentally superior alternatives when
contemplating the approval of a project with significant effects. Where the significant
effects can be mitigated to an acceptable (insignificant) level solely by the adoption of
mitigation measures, the agency, in drafting its findings, has no obligation to consider the
feasibility of environmentally superior alternatives, even if their impacts would be less
severe than those of the project as mitigated. Laurel Heights Improvement Association v.
Regents of the University of California (1988) 47 Cal. 3d 376 [253 Cal Rptr. 4261; Laurel
Hills Homeowners Association v. City Council (1978) 83 Cal. App. 3d 515 [I47 Cal. Rptr.
8421; see also Kings County Farm Bureau v. City of Hanford (1990) 221 Cal. App. 3d 692
[270 Cal. Rptr. 6501. Accordingly, for this project, in adopting the findings concerning
project alternatives, the City Council considers only those environmental effects that for
the finally approved project, are significant and cannot be avoided or substantially lessened
through mitigation.
Whereas, in this project, significant environmental effects remain even after application of
all feasible mitigation measures identified in the FSEIR, the decision-makers must evaluate
the project alternatives identified in the FSEIR. Under these circumstances, CEQA requires
findings on the feasibility of project alternatives. If no project alternatives are feasible, the
decision-makers must adopt a Statement of Overriding Considerations with regard to the
project. If there is a feasible alternative to the project, the decision-makers must decide
whether it is environmentally superior to the project. Proposed project alternatives
considered must be ones which “could feasibly attain the basic objectives of the project.”
However, the State CEQA Guidelines also require an EIR to examine alternatives “capable
of eliminating” environmental effects even if these alternatives “would impede to some
degree the attainment of the project objectives.” [State CEQA Guidelines Section 15126
subd. id)].
CEQA provides the following definition of the term “feasible” as it applies to the findings
requirement; “Feasible” means capable of being accomplished in a successful manner
within a reasonable period of time, taking into account economic, environmental, social,
and technological factors.” Public Resources Code, 521061.1. The State CEQA
Guidelines provide a broader definition “feasibility” that also encompasses “legal” factors.
The State CEQA Guidelines, 015364 (“The lack of legal powers of an agency to use in
imposing an alternative or mitigation measure may be as great a limitation as any
economic, environmental, social, or technological factor.“) Accordingly, “feasibility” is a
26 44
,-
Kellv Ranch General Plan Amendment & I Co re Area” Subdivision Findinas of Fact
term of art under CEQA and thus is afforded a different meaning as may be provided by
Webster’s Dictionary or any other sources.
Moreover, Public Resources Code Section 21080 governs the “findings” requirement under
CEQA with regard to the feasibility of alternatives. It states in relevant part:
I,
. . . [Nlo public agency shall approve or carry out a project for which an
environmental impact report has been certified which identifies one or more
significant effects on the environment that would occur if the project is
approved or carried out unless the public agency makes one or more of the
following findings:
(a)(3) Specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations,
including considerations for the provision of employment opportunities for
highly trained workers, make infeasible the mitigation measures or
alternatives identified in the environmental impact report.”
The concept of “feasibility,” therefore, as it applies to findings, involves a balancing of
various economic, environmental, social, legal, and technological factors. See Public
Resources Code 521061 .I; State CEQA Guidelines, §I 5364; Public Resources Code,
521081; see also City of De/Mar v. City of San Diego (1992) 133 Cal. App. 3rd 401, 414-
417.
In City of De/ Mar v. City of San Diego (1992) 133 Cal. App. 3rd 401, 414-417, the Court
of appeal found that the City of San Diego had “. . . considered and reasonably rejected . .
. [certain] project alternatives . . . as infeasible in view of the social and economic realities
of the region.” U. at 417. The court determined that San Diego had attempted to
accommodate the feasibility factors based upon its growth management plan that included
the proposed development project. ‘Accordingly, the court concluded:
“Assuming this accommodation is a reasonable one (citation omitted), San
Diego is entitled to rely on it in evaluating various project alternatives. The
cost-benefit analysis, which led to the accommodation, is of course subject
to review, but it need not be mechanically stated at each stage of the
approval process. in this sense, ‘feasibility’ under CEQA encompasses
economic, environmental, social, and technological factors. We accordingly
conclude that San Diego did not abuse its discretion under CEQA in rejecting
various project alternatives as infeasible.” J.& (emphasis added).
These findings contrast and compare the alternatives where appropriate in order to
demonstrate that the selection of the finally approved project, while still resulting in
significant environmental impacts, has substantial environmental, planning, fiscal, and other
benefits. In rejecting all of the alternatives, the decision-makers have examined the finally
approved project objectives and weighed the ability of the various alternatives to meet the
objectives. The decision-makers believe that the project best meets the finally approved
project objectives with the least environmental impacts. The objectives considered by the
decision-makers are:

A. No Project/No Development Alternative
Description of Alternative
CEQA requires the analysis of the No Project Alternative (Public Resources Code
Section 15126). This alternative assumes that the site would not be developed
with the proposed project, and the site would remain in its existing condition.
Finding
The No Project/No Development alternative does not attain the basic objectives of
the proposed project and specific or other considerations identified in the FSEIR
support the determination that the No Project/No Development alternative is
infeasible.
Facts in Support of Finding
Specific facts supporting the rejection of the No Project/No Development alternative
are as follows.
1. The No Project/No Development alternative would not develop the “Core Area”
property with single-family and multi-family dwelling units that are consistent
with the land use designations of the City of Carlsbad General Plan, Growth
Management Plan, and Local Coastal Plan.
2. The No Project/No Development alternative would not implement the City of
Carlsbad/Kelly Ranch Affordable Housing Agreement, nor would it increase the
City’s stock of affordable housing.
3. The No Project/No Development alternative would not be compatible with the
existing and planned land uses in the surrounding area.
28
4. The No Project/No Development alternative would not assure the dedication of
open space to preserve the known environmental resources on the property.
5. The No Project/No Development alternative would not contribute to the
implementation of the draft City of Carlsbad Habitat Management Plan.
B. Kelly Ranch Master Plan Alternative
Description of Alternative
This alternative assumes that the project site would be developed under the existing
approved Kelly Ranch Master Plan that remains in effect. Development applications
could be submitted in accord with the provisions of the Master Plan.
Development of the “Core Area” under the Master Plan alternative would be limited
to a maximum of 679 du by the General Plan top-of-the-range, and 508 dwelling
units by the General Plan Growth Management Control Point. The proposed Kelly
Ranch “Core Area” project proposes to construct 656 single-family and multi-family
units within the “Core Area.” Thus, under the Master Plan alternative an additional
23 dwelling units could be constructed at the General Plan top-of-the-range (see
FSEIR Table 1 .l .l).
Exhibit 5 in the Kelly Ranch Master Plan FEIR (83-4) illustrates the conceptual
development plan approved in the Master Plan. Figure 1.1 .l 1 in the final
Supplemental EIR (98-05) illustrates the precise areas that are proposed to be
developed. The two development areas are essentially the same, however, the
“proposed project” shown in Figure 1 .l .l 1 has been refined to maximize the
preservation of biologically sensitive resources, and to comply with the City’s
hillside development and grading standards.
Finding
The Kelly Ranch Master Plan alternative does not fully attain the basic objectives of
the proposed project and specific or other considerations identified in the FSEIR
support the determination that the Kelly Ranch Master Plan alternative is infeasible.
Facts in Support of Finding
Specific facts supporting the rejection of the Kelly Ranch Master Plan alternative are
as follows.
1. The Kelly Ranch Master Plan alternative would construct 23 more dwelling units
than would the proposed “Core Area” project. These additional units would not
appreciably add to the City’s housing stock, and would be detrimental to the
character of the overall housing design by forcing too many units into the
developable area of the project site.

n -
Kellv Ranch General Plan mnt & ” I . . . Core Area Subdwslon . . mdmas of Fact
2. The Kelly Ranch Master Plan is not considered environmentally superior to the
proposed “Core Area” project because:
a) The landform, visual, land use, and noise impacts of the alternative would be
essentially the same for the proposed Kelly Ranch “Core Area” project; and
b) The Master Plan alternative development design for the ‘Core Area,” as
shown in Figure 1 .1.7, predated the preparation of the City’s draft “Habitat
Management Plan. Consequently the alternative design is not as responsive
to the biological sensitivity of the north-south and east-west wildlife corridors
as is the proposed “Core Area” project.
3. The Kelly Ranch Master Plan alternative would not reflect changes in the General
Plan update (1994) and Local Facilities Management Ordinance (1986) that were
adopted after the Kelly Ranch Master Plan.
4. The proposed “Core Area” project is more responsive to the sensitivity of the
physical environmental as currently defined by the Updated General Plan (1994)
and the draft Habitat Management Plan than is the Master Plan alternative.
. STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS
The project would have significant, unavoidable impacts on the following areas, described
in detail in Section X of these Findings of Fact (Cumulative Significant Effects and
Mitigation Measures):
l Air Quality (Cumulative); and
l Traffic (Cumulative.
The City has adopted all feasible mitigation measures with respect to these impacts.
Although in some instances these mitigation measures may substantially lessen these
significant impacts, adoption of the measures will not fully avoid the impacts.
The City has examined a reasonable range of alternatives to the project. Based on this
examination, the City has determined that none of these alternatives both (1) meets project
objectives, and (2) is environmentally preferable to the finally approved project.
As a result, to approve the project the City must adopt a “statement of overriding
considerations” pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Sections 15043 and 15093. This
statement allows a lead agency to cite a project’s general economic, social or other
benefits as a justification for choosing to allow the occurrence of specified significant
environmental effects that have not been avoided. The state explains why, in the agency’s
Judgment, the project’s benefits outweigh the unavoided significant effects.
CEQA does not require lead agencies to analyze “beneficial impacts” in an EIR. Rather,
ElRs are to focus on potential “significant effects on the environment,” defined to be
“adverse” (Public Resources Code, Section 21068). The Legislature amended the definition
to focus on “adverse” impacts after the California Supreme court had held that beneficial
impacts must also be addressed [see Wildlife Alive v. Chicket-ing (1976) Cal. Ed 190, 206
[132 Cal. Rptr. 37711. Nevertheless, decision-makers benefit from information about
project benefits. These benefits can be cited if necessary, in a state of overriding
consideration (see State CEQA Guidelines, Section 15093).
The City finds that the project would have the following substantial social, environmental
and economic benefits:
1. The proposed project will lead to the provision of needed housing with a diversity of
types, prices, tenures, densities and locations and in sufficient quantity to meet the
demand of anticipated City and regional growth.
2. The proposed project includes 132 affordable housing units in accord with the
provisions of the City of Carlsbad/Kelly Ranch Affordable Housing Agreement. This
agreement implements the General Plan Housing Element Goal 3 to provide
sufficient new, affordable housing opportunities in all quadrants of the City to meet
the needs of current lower and moderate income households and a fair share
proportion of future lower and moderate income households.

4. The proposed project provides a variety of housing opportunities in close proximity
to employment centers (e.g., Legoland, Carlsbad Research Park, and other industrial
centers adjacent to the Palomar Airport Road/El Camino Real intersection.)
5. The proposed project funds a portion of the construction costs of Cannon Road that
implements the City’s Circulation Element and will contribute to a greater
distribution of ADT throughout the central part of the City and thereby potentially
lessening impacts to some existing intersections.
6. The proposed project will deed restrict land for the provision of needed community
facilities such as the Agua Hedionda Lagoon Foundation Visitor Center and a day-
care center.
7. The proposed project will contribute a proportionate share of the funding needed to
provide administrative facilities, library facilities, parks, and schools on a citywide
basis.
8. The proposed project will construct portions of the regional sewer system needed to
serve LFMP 8.
9. The proposed project protects and provides for the management of environmentally
sensitive land, natural resources, sensitive flora and fauna, wildlife habitat, and
existing biodiversity which may not otherwise be protected and preserved.
lO.The proposed project will preserve a key corridor in Core Area #4 of the draft
Habitat Management Plan for Natural Communities in the City of Carlsbad which
may not otherwise be preserved.

J<ellv Ranch EIR
uDose P r- f he i’- r MRP
The purpose of the MMRP is to ensure that the mitigation measures required by the
Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Kelly Ranch “Core Area” are properly
implemented. The City of Carlsbad will monitor the mitigation measures required for
development of the Kelly Ranch “Core Area” subdivision. The MMRP Checklist provides a
mechanism for monitoring the mitigation measures in compliance with the EIR, and general
guidelines for the use and implementation of the monitoring program are described below.
. . . JVlrtraation Mdnitorina ChecklIst
The Mitigation Monitoring Checklist is organized by the time of implementation and by
categories of environmental impacts. For each impact area, the impacts identified in the
EIR are summarized and the required mitigation measures are listed. The following items
are identified for each mitigation measure to ensure the implementation of each measure:
(1) responsibility for implementation and monitoring; (2) date of completion; and (3) initials
of monitor. A “Comments” column is provided for the monitor to insert comments
concerning the completion of the mitigation measures.
Timing
The mitigation measures will be implemented at various times as development proceeds.
Some measures are implemented as plans are completed (e.g., final map, grading permit,
etc.) while others are completed during construction (e.g., during grading). Finally, some
measures may be completed at the end of the construction process, but before the
issuance of certificates of occupancy.
5Donsibility
For each mitigation measure, the responsibility party for implementing the measure is
identified. In most cases, the applicant is the responsible party. The entity responsible for
monitoring the implementation is also identified. In most cases, the City of Carlsbad is
responsible for monitoring. City departments charged with community development,
resource management, infrastructure and public services are typically assigned monitoring
responsibility. If mitigation measures are requested by an agency that has jurisdiction by
law over some component of the environment, the City can request the agency to prepare
a mitigation monitoring program for those mitigation measures.
Verification of CompletionThe “Completion” columns have been left blank. The
mitigation monitor will use these columns to indicate the date of completion, and to initial
the completion of the mitigation measure.
Comments
A comments column is included to provide space for the monitor to record notes and
observations as needed.

That the proposed amendments to the Land Use Element of the General Plan from
RM to RLM and RMH as modified will result in an overall reduction of the
allowable residential density within the project area and will therefore not
compromise the City’s Growth Management Ordinance.
That the proposed change from RM to RMH is appropriate in that the higher
density is located adjacent to a circulation element roadway and close to the
employment centers of the Industrial corridor.
That the proposed change from RM to RLM as modified is appropriate in that the
lower density designations are located within areas of moderate topography which
limits access and the net area of development.
That the proposed change from T-Ik to 0 and OS will effectively reduce the use
intensity of Area “F” which has limited developable area and is adjacent to a
significant sensitive biological resource.
That the proposed open space area as modified is equal to or greater than the area
depicted on the Official Open Space and Conservation Map.
That the proposed open space area as modified is of environmental quality equal to or
greater than that depicted on the Official Open Space and Conservation Map.
That the proposed open space as modified is contiguous or within close proximity to
open space as shown on the Official Open Space and Conservation Map

A) That the foregoing recitations are true and correct.
W That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Commission
ENDS APPROVU, of KELLY RANCH, HDP 97-17, based on the
following findings and subject to the following conditions:
Findings:
1. That.hillside conditions have been properly identified on the constraints map which show
existing and proposed conditions and slope percentages;
2. That undevelopable areas of the project, i.e. slopes over 40%, have been properly
identified on the constraints map;
3. That as conditioned the development proposal is consistent with the intent, purpose, and
requirements of the Hillside Ordinance, Chapter 21.95, in that hillside alteration will not
result in substantial damage or alteration of significant natural resource areas,
wildlife habitats or native vegetation areas; the natural appearance of hillsides is
preserved by assuring that development density and intensity relates to the slope of
the land, and is compatible with hillside preservation; proper design is utilized in
grading, landscaping and in the development of structures and roadways to preserve
the natural appearance of hillsides to the greatest extent feasible; a healthful and
aesthetically pleasing environment is preserved and enhanced by assuring that
hillside development is pleasing to the eye, rich in variety, highly identifiable, and
reflects the City’s cultural and environmental values; hillside conditions are
properly identified ana incorporated into the planning process; the intent of the
land use and open space/conservation elements of the Carlsbad General Plan are
implemented; erosion is prevented and the lagoons protected from excessive siltation;
4. That the development of structures will not occur in the undevelopable portions of the
site pursuant to provisions of Section 21.53.230 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code, in that
all structures are located within areas that have been identified as developable.
5. That as conditioned the project design substantially conforms to the intent of the
concepts illustrated in the Hillside Development Guidelines Manual, in that the
development was designed to take greatest advantage of the flatter areas of the site
and manufactured slopes will be stepped in a best effort to reflect natural hillside
progression.
6. That the project design and lot configuration minimizes disturbance of hillside lands to
the greatest extent possible, in that the project has been designed to take advantage
of existing areas of less slope gradient and to step development pads.
7. That the project is proposed with a modification to the Hillside Development Regulations
as permitted by Section 21.95.070 with slopes that are greater than 30 feet in height
which will result in more open space or undisturbed area than would a strict adherence to

II. INTRODUCTION
The project constitutes the first of a two step development proposal for the 433 acre Kelly Ranch.
The first step includes legislative actions (GPA, ZC, ZCA, LCPA) which will determine the
range and placement of land uses over the entire property by rescinding the existing Master Plan
and replacing it with standard zoning. It also includes adjudicatory actions which will subdivide
a portion of the ranch southeast of the Agua Hedionda Lagoon (174 acres) into 178 lots. The lots
are intended to accommodate 155 single family homes, four large multi-family pads, a
recreational vehicle storage lot, a lot for day-care and/or the Agua Hedionda Lagoon Foundation,
and the remainder as open space and recreation lots. Land uses proposed in the General Plan and
Zoning actions include single family residential @1(-Q)), multi-family residential @D-M-Q, R-

3-Q), open space (OS), and office (0). Lots within the subdivision vary in size from 5,000
square feet to 27 acres. Planning Areas A and C northwest of the Agua Hedionda Lagoon will be
considered for development at a later date.
The above combination of actions will set the stage for step two of the development proposal.
Step two will follow these actions, if approved, by four to six weeks with the review of a Coastal
Development Permit, Site Development Plan, and Planned Unit Development for the architecture
and placement of the 155 single family lots and a Coastal Development Permit and Site
Development Plan for the architecture and building placement of the 4 multi-family lots.
The project has been analyzed for environmental impacts in a supplemental Environmental
Impact Report and is consistent with the General Plan, Zoning Ordinance, Local Coastal
Program, and Local Facilities Management Plan, as amended.
III. PROJECT DESCRIPTXON
The Kelly Ranch has been part of the Kelly Family land holdings in Carlsbad for decades. In
partnership with Kaufman and Broad, a tract map and the Kelly Ranch Master Plan were
approved in 1984. Attempts to develop the property were not fruitful and the partnership
dissolved. Subsequently the Kelly Ranch tract map expired, yet the Kelly Ranch Master Plan
remained valid. The Hillman Company acquired the property and established the Kelly Land
Company which is listed as the current applicant.
For planning purposes, the site was broken into Planning Areas A through J. There are two other
areas which are K and L. Neither Planning Areas K nor L are associated with the Kelly Ranch
development proposals other than their boundaries will be refined by the subdivision and their
Zoning designations will be changed by ZC 97-07.
Some of the requested actions affect the entire site and others are specific to only sections of the
433 acres. Those actions which cover the entire 433 acres and include Planning Areas A through
L are the rescission of the 1984 Kelly Ranch Master Plan, establishment of new General Plan and
Zoning designations, and amendments to the Local Coastal Program and Zone Code to reflect the
proposed project. Those actions which affect only a portion of the site, Planning Areas
D,F,G,H,I, J, K and L, are the subdivision of 174 acres into 4 large lots for multi-family
residential development, 155 smaller single family residential lots, and 19 lots for uses such as
open space, recreation, and day care. Associated with the subdivision is the review of a Hillside
Development Permit, a Coastal Development Permit, and a Planned Unit Development.
Following the land use decisions on the property, Archstone Conmmnities and Shea Homes will
request that the Planning Commission review specific development designs for both the multi-
family, Planning Areas D,G, and H, and single family residential lots in Planning Areas I and J.

IV. ANALYSIS
A. -
Existing General Plan Land Use designations for the Kelly Ranch include Travel/Recreation
Commercial (T-R), Residential Medium (RM), Residential Medium-High (RMH), and Open
Space (OS). The applicant submitted a list of proposed land uses to which staff recommended
changes. The resulting revised list of uses is what is presented to the Commission as the
recommended proposed General Plan amendment. The proposed General Plan amendment
generally replaces the T-R designation in Planning Area F with Open Space and Office, adjusts
the boundary between RMH and Open Space at Planning Area A, adjusts the boundary of
Planning Area C and changes the designation from RMH to Residential Low-Medium (RLM),
re-defines the boundaries of Planning Areas D, G, H, and changes their designation of RM to
RMH, and re-defines the boundaries of I and J and changes their designation from RM to RLM.
The proposed General Plan amendment results in an overall lower density than the existing
General Plan and/or the applicant’s proposed General Plan amendment.
In summary, the majority of the land use change is the reapportionment of residential uses. The
result of the change is a reduction in allowable residential units within the entire 433 acre Kelly
Ranch from 942 to 909 dwelling units. Table 1 and Exhibit GPA 97-07 attached to Resolution
No. 4492 illustrate the proposed changes. Following is a discussion of each Planning Area.
Planning Area A & B
The existing designation for Planning Area A is RMH and Planning Area B is Open Space. Both
will remain the same. The amendment proposes a boundary adjustment between development
Planning Area A and the Agua Hedionda Lagoon, Planning Area B, which separates the
developable portion of the Planning Area from the lagoon and ultimately reduces the size of
Planning Area A. The net effect is a reduction in the allowable residential units.
Planning Area C
The existing designation for Planning Area C is RMH and will be changed to RLM. In addition,
the amendment proposes an adjustment between Planning Area C and Planning Area B which
will reduce the size of Planning Area C. The adjustment is intended to include constrained lands
into Planning Area B which is Open Space. An RLM designation on this property is appropriate
since it is surrounded by single family residential and there is only one point of access.
Residential Medium High has a density range of 8-15 dwelling units per acre (du/ac) and
Residential Low-Medium has a density range of O-4 du/ac. The net effect is a reduction in the
allowable residential units which is compatible with the neighborhood and also equates to fewer
Average Daily Traffic (ADT) to the street which accesses the site.

April 7,1999
Planning Areas D, G, and H
The existing designation for these Planning Areas is RM. The amendment proposes a re-
definition of the Planning Area boundaries and a change to RMH. The net effect of the change
would be an increase in the allowable residential units for the Planning Areas. Residential
Medium High has a density range of 8-15 du/ac as compared to a density range of 4-8 du/ac for
Residential Medium.
The increase in density is appropriate in that, the site is near major sources of employment at the
Carlsbad Research Center, Carlsbad Airport Center, Carlsbad Ranch and LEGOLAND
California. The Site is situated on a Circulation Element Roadway with direct access to
Interstate 5. The site has hillside conditions with a great difference in site elevations. The
Planning Areas are located at the base of the hillside adjacent to the major roadways which
accommodates access and reduces grading requirements. The site is also geographically
separated from established residential neighborhoods by the lagoon and hillsides which
eliminates potential conflicts of new development versus established development.
The increase in density for these Planning Areas is also balanced against the reduction in
densities of Planning Areas I and J located at the upper reaches of the site.
Planning Areas I and J
The existing designation for these Planning Areas is RM. The amendment proposes a re-
definition of the Planning Area boundaries and a change to RLM. The net effect of the change
would be a decrease in the allowable residential units for the Planning Areas. Residential Low
Medium has a density range of O-4 du/ac as compared to a density range of 4-8 du/ac for
Residential Medium.
The reduction in density is appropriate in that these Planning Areas are more difficult to access
because of the hillside conditions.
Planning Area F
The existing designation for this Planning Area is T-R. The amendment proposes a change of
land uses to reflect those portions of the Planning Area that are developable, those which are to
be preserved as open space and to reduce the overall use intensity of the site. The developable
portion of the site is proposed to be changed to Office and Open Space which is a reduction in
the intensity of use from Travel Related Commercial and will accommodate the potential future
use of the site for a child care center and the Agua Hedionda Lagoon Nature/Visitor Center. The
potential child care center would be located within the Office designation and the Nature/Visitor
Center would be located with the OS designation as a quasi-governmental use.
The proposed change is appropriate in that the reduced use intensity will reduce ADT, the
potential future uses will provide community facilities which will benefit the new residential
development and the community at large, and will potentially have lesser offsite impacts to the / / /

adjacent Agua Hedionda Lagoon wetlands in the form of less night lighting and less potential of
unsupervised entrance and disturbance to the wetlands.
Regarding community facilities such as day care, the City is considering the creation of a
Community Facilities (CF) Zone which would be intended specifically to accommodate
community facilities. At such time that a CF zone is created, the City would initiate a rezone of
Planning Area F to designate it as CF.
Planning Areas E, K, and L
Planning Area E has been approved for the development of 144 single family homes. The
amendment will change the existing designation of RM to RLM. The new designation of RLM
will reflect the approved project density range which is within the O-4 du/ac. range.
Planning Areas M and N are currently designated as RM and will remain as RM. The
amendment proposes a refining of the Phuming Area boundaries. Neither of the Planning Area
sizes will be affected.
The proposed amendments are consistent with General Plan policies in that the proposed
designations will accommodate a variety of housing types, will not reduce existing quantities of
designated open space, will provide significant open space which will contribute to an overall
desired quality of life, will provide a correlation between density and topography, and will
accommodate community service facilities. A net effect of the amendment will be a reduction in
the allowable residential units within the 433 acre Kelly Ranch from 942 to 909.
B. Zone
The request for a zone change goes hand-in-hand with the master plan amendment request to
rescind the Kelly Ranch Master Plan. The request is for the zoning to be changed from PC to R-
1 (Planning Area E), R-l-Q (Planning Areas C, I and J), R-3-Q (Planning Areas D, G, and H),
RD-M-Q (Planning Areas A, K and L) , OS (Planning Area B and miscellaneous open space lots)
and OS and R-P-Q (Planning Area F). The “Q” overlay, which requires Planning Commission
review and approval of a Site Development Plan (SDP), is being applied to each zoning
designation with the intent of insuring that future development of the Planning Areas will be
visually and physically compatible with each other similar to the intent of a Master Plan. Each
zoning designation corresponds to an appropriate General Plan designation. The R-1(-Q)
implements the RLM General Plan designation which is characterized by single family
residential development, the R-3-Q and RD-M-Q implement the RMH General Plan designation
which is characterized by attached multi-family residential development, OS implements the OS
General Plan designation which is characterized by improved and natural open space and the R-
P-Q implements the 0 General Plan designation which is characterized by office and
professional uses. Approval of the Zone Change eliminates the requirement for a master plan on
this property.

The Kelly Ranch Master Plan was originally adopted by the Carlsbad City Council in September
1984 consistent with its zoning, Planned Community (PC). The PC zone is intended to provide a
method and encourage the orderly implementation of the General Plan, allow for the
comprehensive planning of all necessary public facilities, and provide a framework for phased
development by the comprehensive planning and development of large tracts of land under
unified ownership in accord with an adopted master plan.
The Zone Change and master plan rescission have been supported by staff, in this case, because
the project has been conditioned and the applicant has stated that he agrees, to provide the
required components of a Master Plan via the ‘Zone 8 Local Facilities Management Plan and
Tentative Tract Map CT 97-16. More specifically those components include public water, sewer,
and circulation facilities which are requirements of the tract map; common recreation vehicle
storage designated on Lot No. 161; community facilities and reservation of land for a child care
facility on Lot No. 167 which will be secured by deed restriction; and coordination of open space
and trails on the tentative map.
Table 2 attached as an appendix to this report provides a comparison between what the existing
Master Plan provides, the effect of rescinding the Kelly Ranch Master Plan and substituting
zoning, and what could be accomplished by creating a new Master Plan. As shown in Table 2,
requirements of both the existing Kelly Ranch Master Plan or a new master plan can be provided
through a combination of a tract map and a Local Facilities Management Plan.
Exhibit ZC 97-07 attached to Resolution No. 4493 provides an illustrative comparison between
the existing zoning and the proposed zoning.
c* Zone
The project includes a repeal of section 2 1.38.160 of the Zoning Ordinance. The elimination of
this section is considered a “housekeeping” item in that with adoption of the proposed General
Plan amendment GPA 97-07 and Zone Change ZCA 97-07, a master plan will no longer be
required for the Kelly Point and Macario Canyon.
Section 21.38.160 is a part of the PC Zone. It states that a master plan is required, it designates
maximum density of development contrary to the density designations of the General Plan, it
references Coastal Development Permit 6-84-617 which was approved by the Coastal
Commission for the original 1984 Kelly Ranch Master Plan, it identifies information which shall
be included in a master plan, and it reiterates the requirements of the Coastal Resource Protection
Overlay Zone Chapter 21.203 of the Carlsbad Zoning Ordinance.
Repeal of this section of the Zoning Ordinance will not be inconsistent with the General Plan in
that the associated development standards will either have been changed with GPA 97-07 and ZC
97-07 and/or are applicable in other sections of the Zoning Ordinance.

D. al Co&al Program Amendment
Text and graphics are proposed for modification in both the Agua Hedionda Lagoon and Mello II
segments. The land use map changes are shown on Exhibits 1-B and 2-B. The amendment will
provide Local Coastal Program consistency with the proposed General Plan amendment, Zone
Change, and Zone Code Amendment. The text amendments are as follows:
The Agua Hedionda LCP map, Exhibit C, will be changed to reflect the new General Plan and
Zoning designations.
Land Use Policy 1.2 is proposed to be deleted. The policy describes allowed uses in the lagoon
wetlands and is proposed for deletion because the allowed uses are inconsistent with
Environmental Policy 3.1 which is far more restrictive. Environmental Policy 3.1 states that no
uses shall occur within the boundaries of the wetland area except those activities necessary for
maintenance, resource management, farming and grazing, or as approved by the State
Department of Fish and Game. By comparison Land Use Policy 1.2 allows for outdoor plant
nurseries, fish hatcheries, driving ranges, archery ranges, and agricultural production. The uses
allowed in wetlands by Policy 3.1 are also more consistent with the City of Carlsbad Open Space
zone and should be used in place of the existing text.
Mello II
Policy 3-5(a)(6) will be revised as follows:
Residential densities in the 433 acre Kelly Ranch shall be permitted and based on net
developable acres as defined by the City of Carlsbad Zoning Ordinance and the
underlying General Plan Land Use designation.
Policy 3-5(a)(7) will be revised as follows:
Approximately 2.8 acres located adjacent to Cannon Road, and as described in CDP 98-
47 are designated for an interpretive center for Agua Hedionda and for child care facilities
under Residential-Professional (RP) and Open Space (OS) zoning.
Section 21.38.160 Carlsbad Zoning
The Coastal Program will be affected by the repeal of Section 21.38.160 in that the Zoning
Ordinance is the Implementing Ordinance for the Coastal Program. Standards of development
found in 21.38.160 are still present in the Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone. Repeal of
this section will not alter the need for the review and evaluation of issues specific to the coastal
zone and can therefore be found to be consistent with the Carlsbad Local Coastal Program.

E. . . . 1 Factis m
The Local Facilities Management Plan for Zone 8 includes the project property, the City owned
Macario property and the Kirgis property. The proposed Zone 8 Local Facilities Management
Plan amendment (LFMP 87-08B) is the second amendment to the plan since its original adoption
in 1989 and is intended to reflect a reduction in land use density as proposed in the project
General Plan amendment.
Specifically, the original 1989 Zone 8 LFMP projected 1,224 dwelling units at buildout. The
first amendment to the LFMP (LFMP 87-08A) was approved in January 1999 and reduced the
projected dwelling units to 1,153. The current amendment (LFMP 87-08B) further reduces the
buildout for all of Zone 8 to 963 dwelling units. These buildout numbers include the entire 433
acre Kelly Ranch and the 21.9 acre Kirgis property. The overall reduction in units is a result of
the proposed General Plan amendment for the Kelly Ranch. The amended zone plan is based on
an estimation of potential development capacity per existing ordinances and constraints.
The impacts of the proposed Zone 8 development buildout and the proposed financing to assure
compliance with the adopted performance standards are summarized in Table 3 included as an
appendix to this report. The table provides a summary of the Zone 8 requirements and sources of
tImding for Zone 8 buildout as amended. Following is a brief analysis of each of the sections of
the LFMP which have been modified. In general the zone plan amendment assumes a reduction
in residential units by 190 and a reduction in population by 579 residents. These reductions are
reflected in the needs analysis for each of the facilities areas.
The demand for facilities will be reduced as a result of reduced dwelling units and population.
Since Zone 8 funding contributions through Community Facilities District 1 and Public Facilities
fees are based on dwelling units, the reduction of dwelling units will proportionately reduce the
property’s fiscal contributions.
Waste Water Treatment
The Special Conditions have been modified to reflect actions already completed.
A reduction in the number of residential units, and consequently population, reduces the demand
for parks by 1.32 acres
There currently exists a demand for 76 acres of park within Park District 1 (Northwest Quadrant)
and there is an existing supply of 94.6 acres. The existing surplus is 18.6 acres. The amended
buildout demand is projected at 106.87 acres and buildout supply projected at 174.25 which will
be a 67.38 acre surplus. Park facilities will be satisfied through the payment of park-in-lieu fees
and public facilities fees. )/*---

Average Daily Traffic has been reduced based on the reduction of assumed residential units.
Facilities needs and phasing were updated in the January 1999 Zone Plan amendment (LFMP 87-

Planning Area A and easterly to existing Kelly Drive. The Park Drive improvements were
identified as necessary for development in the Kelly Ranch Master Plan. The Park Drive
improvements contribute to complete and comprehensive circulation facilities throughout the
Kelly Ranch and Zone 8. A new Special Condition has been added to the Zone 8 LFMP to
require Park Drive improvements with the development of Planning Area “A”.
In addition, the City has received its annual Growth Management Traffic Monitoring Report.
The Report has recorded an unanticipated intersection “level of service” (LOS) failure at Palomar
Airport Road (PAR) and El Camino Real (ECR) during both the a.m. and p.m. peak hours. This
potentially creates a changed circumstance negating reliance on previous environmental
documentation. Pursuant to $15 162 of the CEQA Guidelines a lead agency must prepare a
“Subsequent” environmental documentation if substantial evidence (i.e., the recorded
intersection failure) determines that a changed circumstance exists. However, case law has
interpreted this section of the CEQA Guidelines to not require the preparation of a “Subsequent
EIR” if mitigation measures are adopted which reduce the identified impacts to a level of
insignificance.
A mitigation measure has been identified which, if implemented, will bring the peak hours LOS
into the acceptable range. The mitigation measure involves construction of two dual right turn
lanes-northbound to eastbound and westbound to northbound. This project has been conditioned
to pay its fair share of the intersection “short-term improvements” thereby, guaranteeing
mitigation to a level of insignificance.
The Zone 8 Fire performance standard allows up to 1,500 units to be outside of a five minute
response time. The amendment equates to a reduction in overall dwelling units and fewer units in
Zone 8 outside of the five minute response time. The estimated number of units outside of the
five minute response time for Zone 8 is 596.
Space
The Qpen Space standard has not changed and will be applied to the project.

Since the generation of school aged children is based on dwelling units, the anticipated number
of students generated by the Kelly Ranch project has been reduced commensurate with the
reduction of residential units. The Carlsbad School District has entered into an agreement with
the Kelly Land Company obligating development within the Kelly Ranch to pay a fare share per
residential unit to the school district at issuance of building permits.
New Special Conditions have been added to reflect the Kelly Ranch school agreement and to
stipulate that the Kirgis property will be subject to school fees when that property develops.

F. Carlsbad
Per Title 20 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code, the project is required to process a major
subdivision. Chapter 20.12 identifies the procedure for processing a major subdivision and
includes the required findings for approval of same. Chapter 20.16 identifies the requirements
that must be met in the design of the subdivision. The proper procedure was followed regarding
the submittal of the application for the requested subdivision including the provision of all of the
required information on the map.
The project subdivision encompasses 174 acres of. the entire 433 acre Kelly Ranch. The
Planning Areas affected by the subdivision are D, F, G, H, I, J, K and L. The proposed map and
the proposed design and improvement of the subdivision as conditioned, is consistent with and
satisfies all requirements of the General Plan as proposed to be amended, the Mello II segment of
the Local Coastal Program, any applicable specific plans, Titles 20 and 21 of the Carlsbad
Municipal Code, and the State Subdivision Map Act, and will not cause serious public health
problems, in that the proposed grading includes remedial measures to stabilize slopes, the
subdivision is not located within close proximity to land uses which are known to cause health
problems, and the extent and quantities of grading are within prescribed limits.
The site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate residential development at the density
proposed and is therefore physically suitable for the type and density of the development, in that
the subdivision proposes a number of dwelling units which is within the density range allowed
by the General Plan and the Mello II segment of the Local Coastal Program.
The design of the subdivision will not conflict with easements of record or easements established
by court judgment, or acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of property //7

within the proposed subdivision, in that all lots created by the subdivision will have access to a
publicly dedicated roads and conform to the dimension criteria established in Chapter 20.16 and
Chapter 21.45. Since the property is currently not accessible by improved roadways, the project
shall provide full improvements to Cannon Road from the westerly terminus of Planning Area E
to the intersection with Future Faraday Avenue. The project provided a portions of trail segment
23 consistent with the Qpen Space Conservation and Resource Management Plan and has been
conditioned to provide a portion of trail segment 24 within lot 175.
The property is not subject to a contract entered into pursuant to the Land Conservation Act of
1965 (Williamson Act) and is not subject to the agricultural preservation policies of the Mello II
segment of the Local Coastal Program.
The single family portion of the subdivision is within the density range of (O-4) du/acre specified
for the site as indicated on the Land Use Element of the General Plan, and is below the growth
control point of 3.2. The project will provide Cannon Road improvements which is a Circulation
Element roadway. The subdivision was analyzed for noise impacts related to Cannon Road and
mitigation has been included as a condition of approval. The project is consistent with the
Housing Element of the General Plan and the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance as the Developer
has entered into an Affordable Housing Agreement to provide and deed restrict 132 dwelling
units as affordable to lower-income households. The Housing agreement pertains only to
Planning Areas A, C, D, E, G, H, I, and J. All other Planning Areas will be required to provide
their fair share with subdivision approval. The project provides significant areas of General Plan
Open Space which supports open space conservation and natural habitats preservation.
The proposed lot sizes conform to the requirements of Chapter 20.16 and Chapter 21.45. Lots
that do not meet the requirements of Title 20 of the underlying zone, (R-l requires a minimum of
7,500 square feet,) may be approved by PUD. In that case, minimum lot size is then established
as 3,500 square feet. Lots within the R-l-Q segment of the project range in size from 5,000 to
20,000 square feet.
G. . Hillside DevelQparent Perma
Chapter 21.95 requires that a Hillside Development Permit accompany any development
proposal which involves slopes of greater than 15 percent and an elevation differential greater
than 15 feet in height. These conditions apply within the 174 acre subdivision. A Hillside
Development Permit may only be approved if the six hillside findings can be made.
The first two findings require that hillside and undevelopable areas have been properly identified.
The proper identification of these circumstances are provided through the project submittal in the
form of a hillside conditions exhibit and a constraints exhibit. Both exhibits were provided as
required. Approximately 55 percent of the site is comprised of slopes between 0 and 25 percent,
13 percent of the slopes from 25 to 40 percent, and 32 percent of the slopes in grades over 40
percent.

April 7,1999
The third criterion is that the development must be consistent with the purpose, intent and
requirements of the Hillside Ordinance. The stated purpose and intent of the ordinance includes
the avoidance of substantial damage or alteration of significant natural resource areas;
preservation of the natural appearance of hillsides; consistency with the Open Space and
Conservation Element of the General Plan; prevention of erosion and protection of the lagoons
from excessive siltation; and assurance that development is compatible with existing topography.
Generally, the project has avoided substantial alteration of the site’s natural resources in that
40% of the site will not be disturbed by grading. The grading proposed over the remaining 60%
of the site includes varying slope heights and terraced pads which reflects the site’s natural slope
progression from low near the lagoon and upward movement in elevation to the plateau at
Planning Area “J. Erosion control is a standard function of the grading permit process. The
project is consistent with the purpose and intent of the Hillside Ordinance.
Criterion number four requires that no residential or habitable development or grading will occur
in those portions of the property which are undevelopable pursuant to the provisions of Section
21.53.230. The undevelopable lands include beaches, permanent bodies of water, floodways,
slopes greater than 40%, significant wetlands, riparian or woodland habitats, land subject to
major power line easements, land upon which other significant environmental features are
located, and railroad track beds. No residential or habitable development is proposed in areas
that are undevelopable.
The fifth and sixth criteria relate to the project’s design. The project must be designed to
minimize disturbance to hillside lands and substantially conform to the intent of the concepts
illustrated in the hillside design guidelines manual.
The majority of the project is proposed in areas that have been previously disturbed by
authorized grading. Some areas of hillside which will be disturbed by the project are isolated
and not a part of the greater significant slopes. The proposed development substantially follows
the hillside pattern of the site. Some areas of steep slope disturbance are required to access
flatter portions of the site. Thus all of the hillside findings can be made.
H. . Coastal Develop-t Permrt
The 174 acre Carlsbad Tract and associated development permits are located within the Mello II
segment of the Carlsbad Local Coastal Program. The development is also subject to the Coastal
Resource Protection Overlay Zone. The intent of the overlay zone is to supplement the
underlying zoning by providing additional resource protective regulations within designated
areas to preserve, protect and enhance the habitat resource values of Buena Vista Lagoon, Agua
Hedionda Lagoon, Batiquitos Lagoon, and steep sloping hillsides; to provide regulations in areas
which provide the best wildlife habitat characteristics; to encourage proper lagoon management;
and to deter soil erosion by maintaining the vegetative cover on steep slopes.
Development within the Coastal Zone requires the issuance of a Coastal Development Permit
consistent with the Local Coastal Program, the underlying zoning and applicable overlay zones. l/9

Discussion regarding the project’s compliance with the City’s General Plan and Zoning is found
in the General Plan Amendment, Zone Change, and Zone Code Amendment sections of this staff
report. Discussion of the project’s compliance with the applicable LCP overlay zone follows:
Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone
The overlay zone identifies five areas of protection. They are 1) steep slopes and vegetation; 2)
drainage, erosion, sedimentation, habitat; 3) landslides and slope instability; 4) seismic hazards;
and 5) floodplain development.
1. The overlay policy states that slopes of 25% grade and over shall be preserved in their
natural state unless application of the policy would preclude reasonable use of the
property. Since disturbance of 25% slopes will be required to access flatter portions of
the site and thus a reasonable use of the property, the policy further states that up to 10%
of the total slopes greater than 25% possessing endangered plant/animal species and/or
coastal sage scrub and chaparral plant communities may be disturbed plus steep slope
areas that are required to access flatter developable areas if there is no less
environmentally damaging alternative available. The project has implemented the
Hillside Street Standard to the greatest extent allowed in order to minimize impacts to the
natural slopes. No less environmentally damaging alternative is available without non-
compliance with minimum development standards. Disturbance of 25% slopes is
predominantly associated with hillside road grading. Hillside road grading allows
deviations from typical road design to accommodate a more environmentally sensitive
approach to hillside access and development. The site contains 61.6 acres of slopes
greater than 25% with significant species. The project proposes disturbance of 6 acres of
slopes greater than 25% which contain significant species which is a less than 10%
disturbance. In addition 7.2 acres will be disturbed in order to access flatter developable
areas.
2. Special erosion control measures must be included as conditions of approval. These
“special” measures are standard measures required by the City’s Grading Ordinance and
are included as conditions of approval.

3. The geotechnical investigation prepared by Leighton and Associates did not indicate that
there are soils onsite of the La Jolla group which are susceptible to accelerated erosion.
Therefore, additional reports are not required.
4. Because of the soil types and topography, the site is not prone to liquefaction and
therefore site-specific investigations are not required.
5. No development proposed within the 100 year floodplain.
The proposed project is in compliance with the requirements of the Local Coastal Program.
I.
Allowance of single family lots less than 7,500 square feet in an R-l zone requires approval of a
Planned Unit Development (PUD). The proposal includes the subdivision of single family
residential lots ranging in size from 5,098 to 12,507 square feet in Planning Area “I” and 7,500 to
20,655 square feet in Planning Area “J”. Planning Area I is proposed as R-l-Q, therefore a PUD
is required. The proposed project does comply with the applicable PUD standards as shown
below.

Lots smaller than 7,500 square foot have been proposed in Planning Area “I” to maintain a
reasonable density of development within a reduced footprint of disturbance. One of the stated
‘intents for use of the Planned Development Ordinance is to encourage development which is
sensitive to the natural topography of the site, minimizes alterations to the land, and maintains
and enhances significant natural resources. Reduction in lot size commensurately reduces the
total area of disturbance. Maintaining a relatively consistent density of development reduces the
desire to encroach further into natural resources. Significant natural resources are the slopes
which separate Planning Area “J” from Planning Areas “I” and “I-I”. /a

Some aspects of the Planned Development Ordinance requirements will be deferred for review
until step two of the project, however, those applicable standards which will be provided with the
subdivision include: 1) a cormnon recreation open space lot; and 2) a recreational vehicle storage
facility. Lot number 156 in Planning Area “I” is designated as a common recreation open space
lot for the two single family subdivisions. The lot exceeds the 100 square feet per unit standard
of 15,500 square feet. Lot number 161 is a recreational vehicle storage facility which will be
available to the entire subdivision. The minimum requirement is approximately 6,060 square
feet. Lot number 161 will provide approximately 40,000 square feet for recreational vehicle
storage.
Other PUD standards such as building setbacks and height, individual unit storage, individual
unit recreational open space requirements, and guest parking are not applied at this time since
there are no buildings proposed. A subsequent PUD application will be required prior to the
approval of building permits for Planning Area I.
V. FNVIRON-AL REVIEW
The environmental issues identified in the initial study are land use, biological resources,
traffic/circulation, air quality, noise, and aesthetics. A summary of the environmental impacts
and mitigation measures is provided in Table S-l of the Environmental Impact Report. A
surnmary comparison of impacts between the proposed project and alternatives is provided in
Section 4.0 of the Environmental Impact Report (EIR).
Based on data and conclusions of the EIR, the project will result in cumulative impacts to air
quality and traffic/circulation which cannot be fully mitigated. Therefore a statement of
overriding considerations pursuant to Sections 15093 and 15126(b) of the CEQA Guidelines
must be adopted. The statement has been included within the Findings of Facts marked as
Exhibit “B” of Resolution No. 425 1. ’
Significant project level impacts have been identified for biological resources, land use, visual
resources, noise, and archeological and paleontological resources. These significant impacts can
be reduced to a less than significant level with the implementation of identified mitigation
measures which are identified in the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program.

Chairperson Heineman asked the applicant if he had any objection to having this item heard by less than
a full Commission. The Hillman Properties’ representative, Larry Clemens stated that he had no
objections.
Assistant Planning Director, Gary Wayne introduced the item and announced that the Commission’s
action is not final and will be forward to the City Council for its consideration. Mr. Wayne introduced Associate Planner, Christer Westman who, using slides and exhibits, pointed out a number of areas of
proposed development and presented the staff report as follows: this is a combination of several actions
and if approved will allow development to occur on the Kelly Family property which has sweeping views of
MINUTES /3 4
PLANNING COMMISSION April 7, 1999 Page 16
the Agua Hedionda Lagoon, the Pacific Ocean, and hills and mountains to the east. The property is
located in Local Facilities Management Zone 8, which is southwest of El Camino Real, north of Macario
Canyon, northeast of the Carlsbad Ranch and LEGOLAND. The site itself is only a portion of Zone 8.
Zone 8 is approximately 731 acres and is divided between 3 owners; the Kelly Land Company (433
acres), the Kirgis Family Trust (21 acres), and the City of Carlsbad (277 acres). All of the actions, outside
the Zone Plan Amendment, will affect only the Kelly Ranch. There are several legislative actions and
quasi judicial actions that are being requested at this time. The legislative actions include a General Plan
Amendment, a Zone Change, a Zone Code Amendment, a Local Coastal Program Amendment, a Master
Plan Amendment, and a Local Facilities Management Plan Amendment. The existing General Plan Land
Use designations for the Kelly Ranch include Travel/Recreation Commercial (T-R), Residential Medium
(RM), Residential Medium-High (RMH), and Open Space (OS). The proposed General Plan remains the
same for Planning Area A. Planning Area C is reduced to an RLM designation because there is a
surrounding single family neighborhood. Planning Area B remains open space. Planning Area E will be
designated RM and is currently approved for a 144 family home project being built by Shea Homes.
Planning Areas D, G, & H, will change to RMH, and re-defines the boundaries of I and J and changes
their designation from RM to RLM. The net effect of the proposed changes is a reduction in total number
of residential units allowed per Growth Management and there would be a 0.2 acre increase in Open
Space.
The entire property is zoned PC (Planned Community). The proposal is to change the zoning for Planning
Area “A” to RD-M-Q which is multi-family, and Planning Area “C” to R-l-Q single-family, the existing Shea
Home development, Planning Area “E” would change to R-l, Planning Area I and J will change to R-l-Q,
and Areas D, G, & H will change to R-3-Q. The existing Kelly family home in that planning are will be R-
M (multi-family). Planning Area K will remain as a multi-family designation.
The existing designation for Planning Area F is T-R. The amendment proposes a change of land uses to
reflect those portions of the Planning Area that are developable, those which are to be preserved as open
space and to reduce the overall use intensity of the site. The developable portion of the site is proposed to
be changed to Office and Open Space which is a reduction in the intensity of use from Travel Related
Commercial and will accommodate the potential future use of the site for a child care center and the Agua
Hedionda Lagoon Nature/Visitor Center. The potential child care center would be located within the R-P
(Residential-Professional) and the Nature/Visitor Center would be located with the OS designation. There
will be corresponding General Plan designations on all. It should be noted that there is a Q overlay on
each of the different zoning designations. The intention behind the Q overlay is to require that future
development of any of these properties come back through the public review process in order to assess
the Site Plan that is being proposed and also the building elevations, density, relationship of buildings to
the property, etc.
Other legislative actions are the Zone Code Amendment, Local Coastal Program Amendment, Master
Plan Amendment, and Local Facilities Management Plan Amendment. The Zone Code Amendment
repeals a section of the Planned Community Ordinance which requires a Master Plan to be prepared for
the Kelly Ranch and identifies content requirements for such a Master Plan. The Local Coastal Program
Amendment changes the zoning and the General Plan designations, consistent with the City designations,
reflects the appeal of the aforementioned Section 21.38.160 which is the Zone Code Amendment and
modifies language in the Mello II and the Agua Hedionda segments of the Coastal Program, to limit uses
in the Open Space zones, establish residential densities consistent with the City’s General Plan, and limit
the uses on Planning Area F to child care and the Agua Hedionda Lagoon Foundation Interpretive Center.
The Master Plan Amendment is an action to repeal the Kelly Ranch Master Plan, and the Local Facilities
Management Plan Update is to coordinate the Local Facilities Management Plan build-out projections with
the proposed General Plan designations. The change in the General Plan will actually reduce the total
number of units allowed on the site. That reduction in units then has a correlation on the improvements
that are required and fees to be paid for the infrastructure that is required for the Local Facilities
Management Plan.
The quasi-judicial actions involved with this application are a Tract Map, a Hillside Development Permit, a
Coastal Development Permit, and a Planned Unit Development Permit. Each of the four actions are
interdependent and will, if approved, allow for the subdivision of 174 acres of the Kelly Ranch into 178
lots; 155 single-family, 4 large lots for the future development of multi-family, and the remaining lots will
MINUTES /3 7
PLANNING COMMISSION April 7, 1999 Page 17
essentially be open space or recreation lots. Within the single-family Planning Area I, there are proposed
lots that are less than 7,500 square feet, thereby the requirement for the Planned Unit Development.
Common recreation and recreational vehicle storage will be provided for lots, including the multi-family.
This part of the project also includes grading the property into pads, the construction of Cannon Road
from the intersection with Faraday Avenue east to Planning Area E which is currently under construction,
and the improvement of interior roadways, sidewalks, and trails.
The project is subject to the inclusionary housing ordinance. The project applicant has entered into an
affordable housing agreement which requires that 132 affordable units be provided within the Kelly Ranch,
concurrent with the development of market-rate units. Implementation of that agreement will occur with
the review of building proposals for Planning Areas D, G, and H. If the requested land use changes are
approved, it is expected that the building proposals will be before this Commission on the May, 19, 1999
agenda.
The project was reviewed for environmental impacts consistent with CEQA through and Environmental
Impact Report (EIR). Significant, but mitigable, impacts were identified to biology, land form, land use, and
noise and cultural resources. On site mitigation for Coastal Sage disturbance is proposed and must be
approved by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Currently the applicant is pursuing a 10(A) permit with
the agencies. A IO(A) permit would allow them to disturb the Coastal Sage and would also specify
(consistent with the EIR) mitigation that is required in order to engage in that disturbance. The land form
and visual resources impacts are identified, because there is great variation in topography. Impacts will
be mitigated through implementation of the Hillside Ordinance. Through different grading techniques and
the revegetation of slopes, the land form and visual source impacts will be reduced to a level of less than
significance. The land use impacts are essentially that the project is proposing land uses that are not
consistent with the zoning and the General Plan. By changing both the General Plan and the zoning, the
proposed uses become consistent and there are no longer impacts. Noise was identified, for the
properties, along Cannon Road. Mitigation includes the construction of sound attenuation walls along
Cannon Road. It is proposed that those will be on slope and at the top of slopes so there will not be a
visual impact from walls. Regarding cultural resources; there has been one significant archeological site
identified on the property. Because there is quite a bit of existing brush, further evaluation of the site for
significance could not be conducted. With the removal of onsite brush, an onsite archeologist will be able
to monitor and determine if any further data recovery would be appropriate for the site.
Corrections, deletions, and/or additions to the errata sheet, dated April 7, 1999, are as follows:
52c. Line 3. - Delete City’s capital improvements north of Macario Canyon Bridge.
520. Line 3. - Replace width with wide
Mr. Wayne asked Mr. Wojcik to explain what the changes specifically do in the second reimbursement
agreement on page 2 of the errata.
Mr. Wojcik replied as follows: There is a finance district being created for Cannon Road. The developer’s
obligation for Cannon Road would typically only be for a portion of the roadway. However, because the
developer is going to be out there, anyway, the City has entered into an agreement with him that he will
build all of Cannon Road and then the City will use the funds from the fee district to reimburse the
developer for those portions of Cannon Road that are not his obligation. Regarding El Camino Real, there
is a portion of the property that belongs to the Robertsons. From Cannon Road there is 500 feet of true
frontage of the Kelly Ranch. Beyond that 500 feet there is a gap up to the Ranch0 Real project (currently
under construction). The condition allows the developer (Kelly Ranch) to do the improvements within that
gap area. The City then would enter into a reimbursement agreement with the developer stating that
when the Robertson Ranch develops, the City would then obtain the reimbursement funds from the
Robertsons to pay for the improvements that were done on their frontage property.
Assistant City Attorney, Rich Rudolf, asked the applicant if it is understood that prior to the issuance of the
Final Map there would be a reimbursement agreement and that agreement would provide that the Kelly
Land Company does not get reimbursed for that portion of the work unless and until the Robertson Ranch
develops and then provides the source of money for the reimbursement. There is no other source of
money except from the Robertson Ranch.

PLANNING COMMISSION April 7, 1999 Page 18
The applicant replied affirmatively.
Commissioner Compas asked why the word “may”, instead of the word “shall”, is used in the discussion of
the reimbursement agreement.
Mr. Wojcik replied that the reimbursement agreements must be approved by the City Council and staff did
not feel it appropriate to obligate the City Council. By using language “may” indicates that City staff is
supporting it and will be recommending it to the City Council.
Chairperson Heineman asked if staff, in effect, is waiting for the City Council to change the word “may” to
the word “shall”.
Mr. Wojcik replied affirmatively.
Commissioner Compas asked if an action to repeal a Master Plan without replacing it with a new Master
Plan has ever been done in the history of Carlsbad. If not, what are the implications for the future if such
an appeal is approved.
Mr. Wojcik replied that to his knowledge, this has never before been done. As far as a precedent, he
does not believe this will have any impact.
Mr. Westman stated that it would be extremely difficult to identify future problems with any project.
However, staff has reviewed the project with the applicant and although there was a Master Plan for the
entire Kelly Ranch property that through the Local Facilities Management Plan requirements, through
Tract Map requirements, and through implementing the Planned Unit Development Ordinance, staff is
safely satisfied that the requirements that were in the Master Plan are being provided with this project. It
is a somewhat unique project in that their development proposal is essentially all coming forward at the
same time. Typically a Master Plan will set out the parameters for future development and in this case
there is a single property owner who is proposing the development now as opposed to deferring
development.
Commissioner Compas asked if his understanding is correct that in repealing this Master Plan staff is
sufficiently satisfied that the repeal will not cause significant future problems with some other project.
Mr. Westman replied that the Commissioner’s understanding is correct and that it also may not cause
problems because each property will have it’s own unique circumstances.
Mr. Wayne stated that, under normal circumstances, would create a tremendous precedent in that
everybody would probably come back asking for conventional zoning. The City does get, through Chapter
21.38, master planning of communities and the things that go along with it are the requirements in that
chapter of the Zone Code. Some of the requirements are coordination of trails and open space,
improvements to roads that may not necessarily be adjacent to development, etc. In earlier discussions
with the applicant, staff said that the City would not be willing to recommend approval of a repeal of the
Master Plan unless the developer would guarantee that they would essentially provide all of those things
that the City would normally get with a Master Plan. Those things include such things as affordable
housing and they have already entered into an affordable housing agreement. They have agreed to deal
with some of the off-site improvements such as Park Drive and El Camino Real. If, in the future someone
wants to do the same thing it may be acceptable. The important thing is, as Mr. Westman previously
stated, that the applicant is coming in with almost all of the development, concurrently.
Mr. Rudolf assured the Commission that the City Attorney’s Office is satisfied that the conditions of the
recision will give the City everything that was promised in the Master Plan. As for the future when other
developers come to the City asking for a recision of their Master Plan and how they will be dealt with, a
precedent will be good. The precedent is that the City has done a very good job in getting everything that
would have otherwise been in the Master Plan.
Commissioner Compas asked if there will be a traffic light where Cannon Road intersects El Camino Real.
Mr. Wojcik replied that there will be a traffic light and it is currently under construction.
MINUTES 139
PLANNING COMMISSION April 7, 1999 Page 19
Regarding Ranch0 Real, Commissioner Compas asked what the situation will be when it connect to El
Camino Real.
Mr. Wojcik replied that there will not be a traffic signal and that the subdivision was specifically
conditioned for a right-in, right-out only. Basically, deed restrictions were placed on the property to notify
any future buyers of that condition. With the approval of this project, the City will be moving forward in
notifying Ranch0 Real that their condition to put the median in front of their frontage property is now
appropriate and will connect with the median conditioned for the Kelly Ranch project.
Commissioner Segall asked what the implications would be, other than a very lengthy delay of the
process, if the Commission asked for a Master Plan rather than approve the repeal of the current Master
Plan.
Staff responded by pointing out that the Commissioner effectively answered his own question in that by
not approving the repeal of the Master Plan, it would indeed cause a very lengthy and costly delay.
Commissioner Segall asked for clarification regarding which plans will be brought back in May.
Mr. Wayne responded by pointing out that the Kelly Ranch is a very large piece of property and not all of
the Planning Areas are being proposed for development at this time. Because of that, conventional
zoning and matching the zoning with what it should be, makes sense.
Commissioner Segall asked Mr. Wayne if he is satisfied that the document before this Commission, at this
time, is sufficiently conditioned to protect the City.
Mr. Wayne replied that it has been thoroughly reviewed and he is satisfied.
Commissioner L’Heureux asked Mr. Westman to explain the Q overlay.
Mr. Westman stated that, in practical terms, the Q overlay means that a Site Development Plan is
required to be processed and a Site Development Plan is an application that is reviewed by the Planning
Commission. The things that a Site Development Plan reviews are the location of buildings, the Site Plan
itself, the building design, etc. Other things might- include the design, aesthetics, the placement of the
buildings, the height, bulk, and mass of the structures.
Commissioner Savary asked how large the Kelly private home property is.
Mr. Westman replied that the Kelly’s private home land is 6.3 gross acres.
Commissioner Savary asked how that property will be protected from the new development and what the
plan is for the future use of the 6.3 acres.
Mr. Westman replied that the General Plan designation on it is multi-family. They could eventually
request a residential development on that site, consistent with the General Plan density range of 4-8 units
per acre with 6 units per acre as the control point. The actual number of units depends upon the actual
net acreage that can be developed, and other constraints.
Commissioner Segall stated that while reading the documents, he found two different numbers for the
total number of dwelling units; one was 963 dwelling units and the other was 971 dwelling units. He
asked Mr. Westman to clarify.
Mr. Westman replied that the Zone Plan identifies 963 residential units and that is for all of the properties
within Zone 8. There are some assumptions associated with those numbers. There is a lesser number
for the Kelly Ranch property itself because Kelly Ranch is a portion of Zone 8. The numbers to be looked
at are 963 for all of Zone 8 and 909 is a maximum for the Kelly Ranch property itself.
Larry Clemens, Hillman Properties, 2011 Palomar Airport Road, Carlsbad, representing the Kelly Land
Company, reviewed the history of this property and commented as follows: The existing Master Plan is
MINUTES Ho
PLANNING COMMISSION April 7, 1999 Page 20
obsolete in that it does not have any growth management provisions and was approved for over 1,600
units. The applicant does not want to construct that many units. The applicant wants to build a
development with builders that can construct another fine community taking into consideration the
canyons and protected areas that need to be woven into the plan and done correctly. It is expected that
over 400 acres of lagoon property will be dedicated to the State of California within the next 2 months.
This has been an offer of dedication since the mid 1980s. The upland areas of this project are in the HMP
program. One of the most special, and most difficult, things about this project is the creation of the Agua
Hedionda Lagoon Nature Center. At I:00 a.m., Thursday, April 8, 1999, one half of the 3,800 square foot
Aviara Information Center will be loaded on a truck and taken to Village F where (when both halves have
been relocated) it will be reconstructed. Upon completion of the reconstruction, both the land and the
building (complete with furniture) will be deeded to the Agua Hedionda Lagoon Foundation for use as a
nature center. Affordable housing is a very important component to the City of Carlsbad and a builder has
been found that can not only build market-rate apartments but can, seamlessly, integrate affordable
apartments. When the apartment project is finished, the only ones who will know which ones are
considered “affordable” will be the City and the leasing agent. The applicant agrees with staffs
recommendations with one exception; the trail that is being proposed for the south side of Village J. It is
staffs intention that the trail fall directly behind Village J in a very steep canyon area. It is the applicants
feeling that this is not the absolute right place for that trail. It is estimated that the cost of the trail, in that
location, would be approximately $250,000 because of the need for the construction of 1,800 feet of 4 foot
to 6 foot retaining walls. Also, if the trail should be built in its proposed location, it will come to a dead-
end at the Evans Point project. The Evans Point project, however, is not required to put in a trail but only
to dedicate an easement and is currently a private, blocked off area. The applicant, therefore, proposes
to move the trail that joins from an easement, moves into the neighborhood and exits into the Veterans
Memorial Park. The applicant feels that not only is that a practical solution, in terms of dollars and
construction, but it would be in accordance with the direction of the wildlife agencies to stay out of habitat.
Also, if the trail is constructed in the currently proposed location, someone will have to accept liability for
it. If no one is willing to accept that liability, then the applicant will be obliged to put gates at each end of
the trail and call it a private trail. That would only result in no one using the trail.
Mr. Clemens further stated that they conceptually approve the condition requiring the fair share fees for
the Palomar Airport Road/El Camino Real intersection and that the applicant will participate in the City
Council hearings regarding this item.
Commissioner Compas asked Mr. Clemens if he has discussed the subject of the trail with the Planning
Department and have they agreed to disagree.
Mr. Clemens responded affirmatively.
Commissioner Compas asked how they intend to proceed if this project is approved.
Mr. Clemens replied that as soon as the Coastal Permit is issued (hopefully in August, 1999) will be to
start the mass grading for Cannon Road which will probably take about 6 months. Once that is complete,
the unit construction will possibly begin in April, 2000 with the first structure built in the Summer of the
same year.
Commissioner Compas asked if they will start in certain Planning Areas or will they start everywhere at
once.
Mr. Clemens replied that because it is a mass grading, Village J, I, G, & H would be one large operational
grading. Because there will be both multi-family and single-family product types, it is likely they will be
started at the same time.
Referring to perceived legal problems surrounding apartment construction, Commissioner Compas asked
Mr. Clemens to explain why they feel comfortable with building apartments.
Mr. Clemens replied that apartments have not been the subject of law suits but rather, condominiums.
Apartments have not always been cost effective and, more to the point, have not been allowed by most
municipalities.

PLANNING COMMISSION April 7, 1999 Page 21
Regarding the specification in the original Master Plan for a Zone 8 school, Commissioner Segall asked
Mr. Clemens why there is no such specification in the proposed plan.
Mr. Clemens explained that when it was thought that the old Master Plan would be rescinded and the
zoning approach would be applied, there were long discussions with the school district. It was found that
the old Master Plan provided for 1,600 homes which is far more than are proposed in this project. Also,
density in the northwest quadrant of the City has generally decreased while school construction has
continued. The result is that the school district decided that it is not necessary to have that Zone 8 school
and they shifted the need for a school in Zone 8 to an area on the east side of El Camino Real. The
applicant voluntarily (rather than have to pay standard school fees) entered into a mitigation agreement
with the school district, in harmony with a Master Plan, approved by the Trustees about a year ago, as to
how student compilations would allocated at not only existing schools but at new schools on the near
horizon. This mitigation gave the school district the ability to move funds into areas needing public
schools, not only for Kelly Ranch but regionally.
Referring to the Local Facilities Management Plan regarding schools, Commissioner Segall asked Mr.
Clemens where the plan calls for placing all of the students generated from this project.
Mr. Clemens replied that according to the Superintendent of Schools, Cheryl Ernst, there are slightly over
200 students generated at build-out of Kelly Ranch. Mr. Clemens further explained that not all of the
houses in Kelly Ranch will be occupied simultaneously. During the phase-in period, certain students will
be transferred to other schools because of intra-district transfers and other relocation of students that
should be going to other schools rather than the Kelly School. There will also be some students
transferred to the new Calavera Hills school. Eventually, the Kelly School will be occupied solely by those
from the immediate surrounding neighborhood and Kelly Ranch and everyone else will be at new schools
on the east side of El Camino Real.
For the record, Commissioner Segall stated that at a time when this Commission is about to approve a
major development, he is concerned that the City has sufficient schools. He further stated that he
understands who makes the decisions regarding schools but does not want a repeat of the overcrowding
at Aviara Oaks Elementary School.
Commissioner Compas stated that he cannot deal with the trail issue and the suggestions by the
applicant, without receiving a lot more information on the subject than has been given, and asked Mr.
Clemens if he could or would accept a continuance on this item in order to obtain that information.
Mr. Clemens replied that timing is always a problem and timing is of the essence. He explained that if
things do not go very sequentially they will not be able to get to the August hearing and Cannon Road will
be delayed and not constructed as proposed. Therefore they would encourage the project to continue.
Chairperson Heineman opened Public Testimony and offered the invitation to speak.

commented on this application as follows: On one hand, the Foundations is a watch dog and on the other
hand they are a partner with Kelly, the City, and the Coastal Conservancy. The Foundation does not
oppose this project. The project appears to be in conformance with all of the applicable ordinances and
policies and will not have a detrimental impact on the lagoon, watershed, and public access. In fact, the
Local Coastal Program being processed severely limits the uses permitted in the wetlands compared to
the original permit. Approximately 100 acres of wooded slopes will also be protected. This developer has
done a first class job in providing siltation protection for the Agua Hedionda Creek and Lagoon. The
Foundation has reviewed the responses to their comments of October 15, 1998, on the EIR and have
found that they have adequately addressed their concerns. It is recognized that there is a dispute over
where the trail will be located but one is required and the Foundation is delighted to see the commitment
to a trail on the part of the developer. They look forward to reviewing the elevations when they are
presented to this Commission, as they wish to have a visually pleasant project when viewed from the
Lagoon. Regarding the Nature Center, the Foundation supports the Local Coastal Program Amendment
that will permit the Foundation’s Nature Center to be located in Planning Area F. It is important, since the
Foundation is a non-profit organization, that the Nature Center not be located on property that would
subject them to property taxes and therefore support the splitting of Planning Area F into 2 parcels, as

PLANNING COMMISSION April 7, 1999 Page 22
proposed by staff, one as open space for the Foundation and the other recommended by staff. In
conclusion, the Foundation urges the Commission to approve this project.
Seeing no one else wishing to testify, Chairperson Heineman closed Public Testimony.
Regarding the location of the trail, Mr. Westman stated the following: Staffs intention in requiring the trail
to be located as proposed, is to follow the intent of the trail plan in the Open Space Conservation and
Resource Management Plan. That is to create a trail experience. Staff feels that by requiring the trail to
go through a good portion of what is a manufactured slope, along with some natural slopes with
vegetation, it would be the best trail experience versus through a residential subdivision on a sidewalk. It
is with that intent that staff has conditioned the project to provide the trail in the location proposed versus
on the street.
Chairperson Heineman asked if Mr. Westman was aware that the proposed trail location would require so
much retaining wall.
Mr. Westman replied that there is the potential for the requirement for retaining walls. However, there
have been no trail designs provided to staff, to date, to show what those retaining walls would be. Staff
has talked with the applicant about reducing the width of those trails, given the fact that it is in slopes with
the potential of minimizing retaining to the greatest extent possible.
Commissioner Segall asked if the trails will be dirt or concrete.
Mr. Westman replied that they are natural and no concrete will be used.
Commissioner Segall referred to Mr. Clemens’ reference to a sidewalk and asked if that is actually a
sidewalk and if so, is it concrete.
Mr. Westman replied that it is a public sidewalk and is concrete.
Chairperson Heineman asked Mr. Westman if there is any possibility that staff and the applicant might
reach an agreement on a modification of the trail.
Mr. Westman replied that it would depend upon the flexibility of both parties.
Mr. Rudolf interjected with a reference to Resolution No. 4497, Page 8, Condition No. 23 which concludes
with . . . and shall construct same trail segments according to the standards described in the Open Space
Conservation and Resource Management Plan or as modified to reduce impacts to slopes and biological
habitat to the satisfaction of the Planning Director, and stated that this condition should give both parties
enough flexibility to have some reasonable compromise sufficient to move forward at this time. If it is not
enough flexibility for the applicant, then there will have to be more clarity as to what they wish to propose
instead, in order to present the Commission with a real choice.
Mr. Clemens stated that even if the trail were to be reduced to a 6 foot width, a three foot high retaining
wall would still be required. A narrower trail is not conceivable nor practical. The problem is that it is
either going to be expensive retaining walls that are not practical or taking the trail through on a public
sidewalk which is more practical and certainly less expensive. Mr. Clemens also stated that he questions
how natural the surroundings will be on a manufactured slope.
Chairperson Heineman asked Mr. Clemens if he is ruling out any possible negotiation to at least
somewhat change the path of the trail.
Mr. Clemens replied that he never rules out negotiation.
Chairperson Heineman asked Mr. Westman, in view of what Mr. Rudolf found in the conditions, if further
negotiations with the applicant are possible.
Mr. Westman replied that he believes there is room for negotiation but, as Mr. Clemens pointed out, there
are going to be some physical constraints and at some point it will not be possible to negotiate any further.
MINUTES ) r’3
PLANNING COMMISSION April 7, 1999 Page 23
Chairperson Heineman stated that it is his assumption, according to Mr. Clemens’ testimony, that
because time is so much of the essence, Mr. Clemens’ would not be in favor of continuing this item until
the trail matter has been settled. He asked Mr. Clemens if he is correct in that assumption.
Mr. Clemens replied that Chairperson Heineman is correct.
Mr. Rudolf pointed out that it is not likely that staff would recommend a location for a trail that is
inconsistent with or contrary to the recommendations of the EIR.
Mr. Westman stated that the EIR acknowledges that there would be impacts to vegetation if the trail did go
through the proposed area. It also identifies that if the trail needs to go through in order to satisfy the trail
requirement, that the least impacted route be designed and that it also be done in conjunction with the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service who will be the curators of the impacted Coastal Sage Scrub.
ACTION: Motion by Commissioner Compas, and duly seconded, to adopt Planning
Commission Resolution No. 4491, recommending certification of Supplemental
Environmental Impact Report EIR 98-05, Findings of Fact, Statement of
Overriding Considerations, and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program,
and adopt Planning Commission Resolutions No. 4492, 4493, 4543, 4494, 4495,

contained therein, including the errata sheet dated April 7, 1999, and including a
revision to Condition No. 24, Resolution No. 4497 changing . . . into 178 lots, to . .
. into 179 lots.
Commissioner Compas stated that he cannot change the trail location from the recommended location
without considerable further information and suggested that the developer gather and produce more
information to present to the City Council.
Commissioner Segall concurred with Commissioner Compas.
Commissioner Savary also concurred with Commissioner Compas and stated that she feels that there is
room for negotiation by both parties, and that should be done before the item goes before the Council.
Commissioner L’Heureux concurred with Commissioner Savary.
Chairperson Heineman stated that he feels this requires a favorable vote and strongly urged the parties
involved to strenuously seek a resolution to the trail problem.
