ITEM EXPLANATION:
I This agenda bill is designed to bring two resolutions before the City Council.
The first resolution is for approval of an addendum to the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) for the Ranch0 Santa Fe Road realignment and mass grading. This addendum has been prepared to address the City construction of a road only project with minor technical alignment differences from the alignment shown in the FEIR. The minor differences are an adjustment in the horizontal location in the area south of San Marcos Creek of about 100 feet and an adjustment upward to the profile in the area of the existing truck bypass. Both of these adjustments were made to lower the amount of rock excavation on the project and reduce the amount of excess excavation.
The second resolution approves the Ratification of Extension and Addendum No. 3 to the
Professional Services Agreement with Dokken Engineering for preparation of plans, specifications, and estimates for construction of Ranch0 Santa Fe Road, Phase 2, Project No. 3190. The Public Works Director desires to move ahead with the preparation of plans, specifications and estimates at
this time to have these documents ready for construction as soon as the federal environmental process and permitting is completed. Proceeding with design in advance of NEPA approval will
expedite the construction of the road realignment. The design costs will not be reimbursed from the federal funding allocated to the project.
In 1993, the City Council adopted an interim financing plan that allowed developers in the in the area of Ranch0 Santa Fe Road to enter into agreements with the City to prepay their estimated Communities Facility District No. 2 taxes based on an projected cost per unit.
I ENVIRONMENTAL:
On June 2, 1992, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 92-152 certifying the Environmental
Impact Report for a project to realign and construct Ranch0 Santa Fe Road in the “Canyon Alignment” and the mass grading of land on both sides of the roadway. Subsequent to the City Council certification of the EIR, a Petition for Writ of Mandate was filed in Superior Court. The resulting legal action resulted in the court upholding the City Council action to certify the EIR.
Addendum Number 2 to the EIR is required to address several minor technical changes that have come to light since the certification of the EIR. According to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, the purpose of an addendum to an EIR is to comply with CEQA in situations in which the EIR requires “minor technical changes or additions that do not raise new important issues about the projects significant effects on the environment, and where no factors are present that would require the preparation of either a subsequent or supplemental EIR” (CEQA section 15164(a)). CEQA also states that “An addendum need not be circulated for public review, but can be included in or attached to the Final EIR” (CEQA section 15164(b), and that “The decision making body shall consider the addendum with the Final EIR prior to making a decision on the project”
(CEQA section 15146(c).

FISCAL IMPACT:
During the past few years, the City has continued to work on the formation of a Community Facilities
District (CFD) to fund the construction of Ranch0 Santa Fe Road. Until the CFD is finally formed,
developers in the Ranch0 Santa Fe Road area have chosen to enter into agreements with the City
to prepay their obligation under the future CFD. These payments total about $19.7 million as of
March 1999. The estimated cost for the engineering services for the final design of Ranch0 Santa
Fe Road, Phase 2 associated with Amendment No. 3 to Dokken Engineering’s agreement, including
a 15% contingency, is $980,000. Vallecitos Water District (VWD) is expected to provide a partial reimbursement for design to relocate some of their facilities that are in conflict with the realigned
roadway. The exact amount of reimbursement will be worked out in a cooperative agreement
with Vallecitos Water District.
Approximately $7.5 million was previously appropriated for the project, $5.3 million has been spent,
and $2.2 million is currently available.
The total construction cost of the Ranch0 Santa Fe Road realignment project is estimated at $29.5
million. This cost is composed of $18.0 million for Phase 1 and $11.5 million for Phase 2.
Funding for construction is anticipated to be composed of the following sources:
0 CFD No.2
l CFD No. 1
l Federal Funding (HBRR)
Estimated Construction Cost.
$18.1 million
$5.7 million
$5.8 million
$29.5 million
Therefore, there are sufficient funds for this agreement.

SECTION 1 .O
INTRODUCTION
1 .l Purpose of the Addendum
In 1992, the City of Carlsbad (the City) approved the preliminary alignment for the Ranch0
Santa Fe Road Realignment and Mass Grading project. Approval of the project was based on
the certified Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) - Rancho Santa Fe Road Realignment and
Mass Grading (SCH #~OLVOS~O,J dated April 3, 19% This EIR is available for review at the
City of Carlsbad.
The City project approved in 1992 provided for realignment and construction of Ranch0
Santa Fe Road and mass grading of 448 acres within an area in eastern Carlsbad. The project
evaluated in the EIR addressed relocation of existing Ranch0 Santa Fe Road easterly to what
was referred to as the “Canyon Alignment,” replacing the bridge over San Marcos Creek, and
expansion of the road into a six-lane arterial between La Costa Avenue and Melrose Drive as
called for in the Circulation Element of the City’s General Plan.
The project evaluated in the EIR set the preliminary alignment and limits of grading for the
roadway and bridge replacement. The City has now completed Final Alignment Studies for
the roadway realignment as well as the bridge replacement which differ slightly from the
preliminary alignment and bridge replacement evaluated in the EIR. The City desires to
document the Final Alignment Studies for the roadway realignment and bridge replacement.
This Addendum fulfills this need and conforms to the provisions of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and CEQA Guidelines, Section 15164, providing for the
preparation of an Addendum. The CEQA Guidelines allow the preparation of an Addendum
to an EIR under the following circumstances:
1. Only minor technical changes or additions are necessary to make the-EIR under
consideration adequate;
2. The changes and additions to the EIR do not raise important new issues about
significant effects on the environment; and
3. None of the conditions described in Section 15162, CEQA Guidelines, calling for the
preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred.

SECTION 2.0
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
2.1 Purpose
As discussed in the EIR, the proposed roadway realignment, widening and bridge replacement
improvements are necessary to implement the transportation requirements of the City of
Carlsbad General Plan. Community benefits from this project will include reduced
congestion, improved traffic flow and increased safety for travelers on the roadway.
Additionally, this road realignment will provide a vital link in the regions roadway network.
Increasing the capacity of the roadway would bring levels of service at intersections in the
project vicinity to acceptable levels and improve air quality by reducing traffic congestion.
The project will also involve replacement of the existing bridge over San Marcos Creek which
is currently hydraulically inadequate and cannot pass the loo-year storm without becoming
submerged.
2.2 Location and Setting
Ranch0 Santa Fe Road would be widened and realigned from two lanes to an ultimate six
lane prime arterial roadway from approximately 100 feet south of the La Costa Avenue/
Ranch0 Santa Fe Road intersection to approximately 100 feet north of the Melrose
Drive/Ranch0 Santa Fe Road within the City of Carlsbad. Figure 1 illustrates the preliminary
alignment evaluated in the EIR and the Final Alignment evaluated in this Addendum. As
illustrated in Figure I, the Final Alignment Studies and associated limits of grading for the
roadway realignment as well as bridge replacement are substantially in conformance with the
preliminary alignment and bridge replacement evaluated in the EIR.
2.3 Project Characteristics
The City intends to construct the project in two phases. Phase 1 will consist of the
realignment of Ranch0 Santa Fe Road south of the San Marcos Bridge crossing. Phase 2 will
consist of the bridge replacement and intersection improvements north of the bridge.
As a part of the Final Alignment Studies, the roadway would be widened at the locations
anticipated in the EIR and no substantial changes to the preliminary alignment or permanent
limits of grading are proposed as a part of the Final Alignment Studies.

Section 2.0 Project Description
The Final Alignment Studies configuration illustrated in Figure B represents a refinement of
the preliminary alignment to accommodate specific grading and alignment design developed
for the Final Alignment Studies. As a result, some minor modifications to the area of
disturbance from that addressed in the EIR to accommodate temporary construction
activities, and improvements to existing roads are necessary to implement the Final
Alignment Studies. As shown in Figure 1, the Final Alignment Studies extend beyond the
limits of grading identified in the EIR at the Melrose Drive/Ranch0 Santa Fe Road
intersection as well as the southeastern border south of Questhaven. The Final Alignment
Studies also incorporate some roadway work south of the Ranch0 Santa Fe Road/La Costa
Avenue intersection; Questhaven Road and La Costa Meadows Avenue that is not covered
by the EIR. The area of disturbance in the vicinity of the Melrose/Rancho Santa Fe
intersection from that identified in the EIR is necessary to accommodate temporary
construction staging areas, further.refine the location of the Melrose/Rancho Santa Fe Road
intersection as required by the EIR, as well as provide a connection with the Ranch0 Santa
Fe Road alignment and widening to be built by the City of San Marcos. Work to be
completed south of the La Costa Avenue/Ranch0 Santa Fe Road intersection would consist
of connection with the previously widened portions of Ranch0 Santa Fe Road and would not
represent an expansion of the capacity of the roadway from that anticipated in the EIR. The
increase in the limits of grading for Questhaven Road and La Costa Meadows Avenue is
necessary to accommodate turning lanes at the intersections with Ranch0 Santa Fe Road and
no increase to the capacity or alignment of these roadways is proposed.
2.3.1 Phase 1 and 2: Roadway Realianment
As shown in Figure 2, the Final Alignment Studies include specifics regarding grading
including location and size of manufactured slopes. The realigned Ranch0 Santa Fe Road
would be constructed to the full width on the east side of the median, with sidewalks, curb
and gutter, and street lights from the bridge to Melrose Drive. The west side of the roadway
will be constructed with 32 feet of paving adjacent to the median curb. The Final Alignment
Studies also include drainage facilities and drainage outlets to be constructed as a part of the
project.
As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the Final Alignment Studies also include a configuration and
specific grading plans for the Melrose Drive/Ranch0 Santa Fe Road intersection. The EIR
required that the City finalize this intersection configuration prior to construction. As
shown in Figure I, the final alignment intersection configuration conforms with the
preliminary alignment anticipated by the City as a part of the EIR.

Section 2.0 Project Description
2.3.2 Phase 2: Bridae Improvements
The EIR identified the location and limits of grading for replacement of the bridge over San
Marcos Creek. The proposed final alignment bridge replacement would conform with the
location and limits of grading evaluated in the 1992 EIR.
The Final Alignment Studies provide details necessary to construct the bridge replacement
that were not identified in the preliminary alignment evaluated in the 1992 EIR. As shown
in Figure 2, under the final alignment, the bridge would consist of six lanes. The span over
San Marcos Creek would extend for approximately 375 feet and would range in height from
15 to 20 feet from the creek bottom to the bottom of the bridge. The bridge would be
supported by manufactured fill slopes at the northern and southern termini of the bridge.
A total of twelve piers would support the bridge span. Each pier would be constructed by
excavating a pit and using driven iron piers to form and cast each individual concrete pier.
Following construction of the piers, the excavation area would be refilled and returned to
original grade. Each pier would include 4’x6’ columns and 12’x12’ footings.
2.3.3 Project Construction
The EIR identified construction activities necessary to complete grading for the roadway.
The EIR identified construction staging areas as well as locations for blasting operations.
Construction activities and equipment for the Final Alignment Studies would conform with
that anticipated by the EIR. As required by the EIR, the proposed earthwork will be balanced
between cut and fill. .The quantity of dirt and rocked moved within the project construction
area would not exceed that evaluated by the EIR. Staging and blasting areas anticipated to
be used during construction are included in the limits of grading shown in Figure ,? and are
consistent with that anticipated by the EIR.
Construction of the project is scheduled to begin in 2001 fiscal year. Construction activities
will begin with Phase 1 portion of the project. Construction of Phase 1 will take
approximately eighteen months. Construction of the Phase 2 portion of the project is
expected to begin in 2002 and will take approximately 18 months.
As required in the EIR, in association with completion of Phases 1 and 2 segments of the
realigned roadway, those portions of the existing Ranch0 Santa Fe Road that are no longer
required as roads will be vacated. Figures I and 2 illustrate the roadway removal that will
occur during construction. As shown inFigure 1, the area of roadway to be vacated conforms
with that evaluated in the EIR.

feasible. Project impacts to southern willow scrub wetlands and unvegetated
stream channel will be minimized as follows:
-- For impacts to wetlands habitats, the project will include habitat
creation, restoration, enhancement or acquisition pursuant to permit
requirements of the ACOE and CDFG. The following ratios are
included in the project for permanent impacts: for unvegetated stream
channels, 1: 1; for southern willow scrub, 3: 1. Following demolition of
the old bridge over San Marcos Creek, this area will be restored to
support southern willow scrub habitat. Following temporary impacts
necessary to construct the new bridge, pre-construction contours will
be restored and those areas that will support vegetation will be
revegetated with riparian plants.
0 For permanent impacts to upland habitats associated with the roadway
realignment, the City has purchased habitat credits in conformance with the
1996 Fieldstone Habitat Conservation Plan(HCP). The City has contributed
approximately 2 million dollars to the purchase of mitigation property
identified as a part of the HCP for impacts associated with realignment of the
roadway.

All work will be conducted during the daytime hours; night lighting will not
occur except in an emergency situation.
With the eight-foot high sound wall proposed by the project to be located
along the western right-of-way north of Melrose Drive/Ranch0 Santa Fe Road
intersection, the future peak hour average noise level would be 61 to 62 dB and
future noise levels would not exceed FHWA/Caltrans noise criteria at four
homes located along Ranch0 Santa Fe Road. The eight-foot wall height is based
on the acoustical assessment prepared for the City of San Marcos to address the
widening of Ranch0 Santa Fe Road at this location (DUDEK, January 2000).
Assuming the City of San Marcos constructs this segment of Ranch0 Santa Fe
Road, the City of San Marcos will be responsible for constructing the eight-foot
high sound wall. If the City of Carlsbad constructs the proposed project first, the
City of Carlsbad has committed to constructing the sound wall.
All City construction timing requirements would be adhered to as a part of
project construction.
Stationary equipment will be placed such that emitted noise is directed away
from sensitive noise receivers such as residential areas.
Stockpiling and vehicle staging areas will be located as far as practical from

Grading techniques such as rounding the edges of the cut will be used to blend the
slopes in the existing terrain
To control erosion, exposed portions of proposed fill and cut areas will be planted
with a hydroseed mix containing native drought tolerant species.
Due to the high visibility of the proposed manufactured slopes, cut slope areas
adjacent to natural areas will be planted with native, drought tolerant shrubs and
trees where feasible (shrubs and trees may not survive in cut areas that expose
rocky surfaces). All cut slopes will be treated with a hydroseed mix containing
native species. Planting will occur within three months after grading and will be
temporariIy irrigated until plants become established.
All landscaping on manufactured slopes, as well as on the roadway median, will
comply with the guidelines of the City of Carlsbad Scenic Corridor Guidelines

SECTION 3.0
DETERMINATION
The CECL4 Guidelines Section 15162 through 15164 set forth the criteria for determining the
appropriate environmental documentation, if any, to be completed when there is a pre-
existing adopted EIR covering the project. The City provides the following findings: The
Rationale of the Findings is presented in Section 4 of this document.
CEQA Guidelines, Section ,15162(a) and 15163 state that “when an EIR has been certified for a
project, no subsequent or supplemental EIR shall be prepared for that project unless the lead agency
determines, on the basis of substantial evidence in light of the whole public record, one or more of the
following:”
1. “Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the
previous EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial
increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects. n
Discussion: As discussed in Section 2.0 of this document and illustrated in Figure 4,
the Final Alignment Studies for the roadway realignment and bridge replacement
substantially conforms with the preliminary roadway alignment evaluated in the EIR.
The Final Alignment Studies provide the detail regarding grading and roadway
alignment necessary to construct the alignment approved by the City that was not
identified as a part of the preliminary alignment evaluated in the EIR. As also shown
in Figure 1, improvements associated with the Final Alignment Studies would
substantially conform with that evaluated in the EIR. As discussed in Section 4,
Rationale, of this document, comparison of the environmental impacts considered in
the certified EIR with the current proposed Final Alignment Studies for the roadway
realignment and bridge replacement would not result iri new significant
environmental effects. The proposed action will not require any changes to the
project description that may have a significant adverse impact to the environment.
Therefore, no substantial changes have been identified.
2. “Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is
undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR due to the involvement of new
significant environmentaleffects or a substantial increase in the severity ofpreviously identified
significant effects.”

Section 3.0 Determination
Discussion: No changes to the circumstances under which the EIR was adopted in
1992, resulting in significant new or increased effects were identified in the
environmental review of the proposed roadway and bridge Final Alignment Studies,
As discussed in Section 4, Rationale, of this document, comparison of the
environmental impacts considered in the certified EIR with the current proposed
construction plans for the roadway did not identify any change to the baseline
conditions or to impacts associated with the project. Consequently , no changes in
circumstances have occurred that would require major revisions of the previous EIR
due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial
increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects.
3. “New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been
known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as
complete shows any of the following:”
4 “The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR
or Negative Declaration; or”
Discussion: As discussed in Section 4, Rationale, of this document, no new
information of substantial importance which was not known and could not
have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the
previous EIR was certified has been identified during the environmental review
of the Final Alignment Studies for the roadway realignment and bridge
replacement.
b) “Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown
in the previous EIR; or”
Discussion: As discussed in Section 4, Rationale, of this document, based on a
review of the previous EIR, no previously examined effects will be more severe
than shown in the previous EIR.
4 “Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact
be feasible, and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project,
but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or”

Section 3.0 Determination
Discussion: As discussed in Section 4, Rationale of this document, no new
information or changes in the project design have been identified or proposed
that would change the feasibility of any proposed mitigation measures.
Measures incorporated into the project (see Section 2.4) combined with
mitigation measures adopted with the EIR in 1992 are found to be adequate
and mitigate for all impacts associated with proposed Final Alignment Studies
for the roadway realignment and bridge replacement.
4 “Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those
analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects
on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure
or alterna five. ”
Discussion: The proposed Final Alignment Studies for the roadway
realignment and bridge replacement incorporate measures to reduce or avoid
potential environmental impacts. As discussed in Section 4, Rationale of this
document, there are no additional mitigation measures or alternatives required
to implement the modifications to the project. Mitigation measures adopted
with the EIR in 1992 are found to be adequate and mitigate for all impacts
associated with proposed FinalAlignment Studies for the roadway realignment
and bridge replacement.
CEQA Guidelines, Section 15164(b) states that “AnAddendum to a previously certified EIR may
be prepared if only minor technical changes or additions are necessary.”
Discussion: Only minor changes or additions are required. As discussed in Section 4,
Rationale, of this document. The proposed Final Alignment Studies for the roadway
realignment and bridge replacement would not create new significant impacts or require
substantial revisions to the mitigation measures identified in the EIR. In addition, the
proposed Final Alignment Studies for the roadway realignment and bridge replacement would
not meet the criteria set forth in Section 15162(a) and 15163 of CEQA requiring the
preparation of a Supplemental or Subsequent EIR.

SECTION 4.0
RATIONALE
h
The Final Alignment Studies for the roadway realignment and bridge replacement described
in Section 2 substantially conform with the preliminary alignment and bridge replacement
location covered in the EIR. Figure i shows the alignment of the roadway covered in the EIR
as well as the proposed final alignment and limits of grading for roadway and bridge
replacement. As shown in Figure 1, considering that the road capacity, alignment, and limits
of grading of the proposed project conform with that covered by the EIR, approval of the
Final Alignment Studies would not create new significant environmental effects or increase
the severity of significant effects for the issues of air quality, traffic circulation, land use,
light and glare, landform alteration, noise, floodplains, water quality, public services,
hazardous wastes, visual quality, cumulative effects and growth inducement from that
identified in the EIR. The rationale for support of these conclusions is discussed further
below.
Subsequent to certification of the EIR, technical studies and analysis have been completed
related to the Final Alignment Studies for the roadway realignment to update the cultural
resources and biological resources analysis. As discussed below, based on review of the
technical studies and analysis no new significant impacts have been identified beyond that
identified in the EIR related to these issues.
The proposed bridge replacement location is consistent &ith that anticipated in the EIR in
that the proposed bridge would be located immediately to the west of the existing bridge.
The proposed Final Alignment Studies provide detailed grading and design information for
these improvements that were not included in the EIR. Technical studies for the proposed
bridge replacement project in the areas of earth resources, biological resources, cultural
resources, noise, hazardous materials, water quality, flood hazards and visual assessment
were conducted to determine whether the Final Alignment Studies for Ranch0 Santa Fe
Bridge Replacement would have an impact on the environment. It was determined, as
discussed further below that with implementation of measures incorporated into the project
design the Final Alignment Studies for the bridge replacement would not create new
significant environmental effects or increase the severity of significant effects identified in
the EIR.

Section 4.0 Rationale
4.1 Air Quality
The EIR identified short term significant impacts to air quality associated with construction
and long term significant impacts based on the proposed roadway realignment and widening
as well as the urban development accommodated by the mass grading. Additional grading
beyond that associated with the roadway was intended to accommodate residential,
commercial, office, park, and open space as specified in the General Plan. Development in
accordance with the proposed Final Alignment Studies for the roadway realignment and
bridge replacement would not create new significant impacts beyond that identified in the
EIR. As illustrated in Figure 1, the limits of grading proposed in the Final Alignment Studies
substantially conform to the preliminary limits of grading evaluated in the EIR.
Short-Term Construction IHZ~LZC~S: Measures have been incorporated into the design and
construction process to reduce short term construction impacts below a level of significance
(see Section 2.4).
Long-Term Impacts: The Final Alignment Studies for the roadway realignment and bridge
replacement would not increase the travelway width or capacity beyond that addressed in
the EIR. Considering that no additional capacity would be developed, no new long term air
quality impacts beyond that addressed in the EIR would be associated with approval of the
Final Alignment Studies.
4.2 Earth Resources
No features of the proposed Final Alignment Studies for the roadway realignment or the
bridge replacement would alter the conclusion of the previous EIR regarding geotechnical
hazards or earth resources. The project would not involve an increase from the limit of
grading for the roadway alignment from that anticipated in the EIR. As a result, no new
formations or soil types would be disturbed. In addition, no manufactured slopes proposed
as a part of the project would exceed the lOO-foot maximum height identified in the EIR. As
discussed in Section 2.4, all improvements proposed will be completed in accordance with the
requirements of the geotechnical analysis included as Appendix C of the EIR. In addition,
supplemental geotechnical analysis has been prepared for the City by Agra Environmental to
address the Final Alignment Studies (Agra Environmental, 1998). Measures required by the
Agra Environmental reports to avoid geotechnical hazards such as soil instability, erosion or

Section 4.0 Rationale
dam instability from blasting represent refinements to the measures called for the in
geotechnical report prepared for the EIR. As a result implementation of the Final Alignment
would not increase the severity of any geotechnical hazards from that identified in the EIR.
4.3 Water Resources
The EIR concluded that surface and subsurface water quality would be adversely affected
by urban contributions. Altering the 448-acre site through mass grading for urban
development and realignment of the roadway would produce greater runoff and potentially
increase downstream flooding.
Development in accordance with the proposed Final Alignment Studies for the roadway
realignment and bridge replacement would not create new significant impacts to water
resources beyond that identified in the EIR. The Final Alignment Studies for the roadway
realignment and bridge replacement are in substantial conformance with the EIR and include
all erosion control measures required by the City grading ordinance and the EIR be
incorporated into the project design (see Section 2.4). A majority of the drainage from the
roadway would be outletted to existing drainages adjacent to the roadway as shown inFigure
2. All drainage outlets would contain rip-rap filters to slow the velocity of the runoff and
minimize offsite erosion. Eventually, a majority of the drainage outlets associated with the
roadway would be connected to systems associated with planned urban development in the
area. In addition, the drainage system has been designed to reduce velocities of runoff that
outlet into the adjacent drainages.
A separate technical study has been prepared by the City to evaluate potential effects of the
bridge design on hydrology and water quality in San Marcos Creek. This study is
incorporated by reference to this Addendum and is available for review at the City (Dudek
& Associates March 24, 1997). The report concluded that with measures included in the
design of the bridge that the hydrology and water quality of San Marcos Creek would not be
adversely impacted. These measures are listed in Section 2.4 of this Addendum.
A separate technical study has also been prepared by the City to evaluate the potential
impacts of the bridge replacement and associated roadway improvements to flood waters
(Dudek & Associates, January 12, 2000). The report concluded that the project does not

encroach on the base flood plain of San Marcos Creek and that the risk from flooding
associated with this project is not significant. Routine construction measures necessary to
minimize short term impacts to the floodplain incorporated into the project are listed in
Section 2.4 of this Addendum.
4.4 Biological Resources
Development in accordance with the proposed Final Alignment Studies for the roadway
realignment and bridge replacement would not create new significant impacts beyond that
identified in the EIR. Measures have been incorporated into the design and construction
process to reduce biological resources impacts-below a level of significance (see Section 2.4).
As shown in Figure 4, the Final Alignment Studies for the roadway realignment and bridge
replacement would substantially conform to the preliminary alignment plan evaluated in the
EIR would occur. Furthermore, the City has completed a biological resources report
subsequent to approval of the EIR that updates the biological resources analysis and addresses
the specific impacts of the Final Alignment Studies for the roadway realignment and bridge
replacement. The Biological Resources Report, prepared by Dudek & Associates in February
2000, is incorporated by reference to this addendum and is available for review at the City.
As discussed further below, the updated Biological Resources Report concluded that with
measures incorporated into the project design no significant impacts to biological resources
would occur.
As discussed in Section 2.0 and shown in Figure 4, some minor modifications to the area of
disturbance from that addressed in the EIR to accommodate temporary construction
activities, and improvements to existing roads are necessary to implement the Final
Alignment Studies. The construction staging area proposed to the south of the
Melrose/Rancho Santa Fe Road intersection would be restricted to areas characterized by
annual non-native grassland and no impacts to native vegetation or riparian vegetation would
occur. Proposed construction activities south of La Costa Avenue and in the vicinity of La
Costa Meadows Drive would be restricted to the existing roadway or disturbed habitat
immediately surrounding the roadway. Construction activities in the vicinity of the existing
Questhaven/Rancho Santa Fe Road intersection would be designed to avoid disturbance to
coastal sage scrub and native grassland areas. Based on a review of the updated Biological
Resources Report and with implementation of measures incorporated into the project listed
in Section 2.4, the proposed construction staging areas and improvements to existing roads

would not create new significant impacts to biological resources beyond that identified in the
EIR.
Upland Vegetation and Sensitive Animal/Plant Species
The EIR identified impacts to the upland vegetation communities, the California gnatcatcher
and sensitive plant species. As discussed in Section 5.4 of the EIR (pgs 5.4/12-15), the
roadway and associated mass grading would result in significant impacts to coastal sage
scrub, the California gnatcatcher, and San Diego Goldenstar. The updated Biological
Resources Report (Dudek & Associates, February 2000) concluded that the roadway
realignment would result in a similar level of disturbance of sensitive upland vegetation,
including coastal sage scrub and southern mixed chaparral, as that anticipated for the
roadway realignment in the EIR. Both the updated Biological Resources Report and the EIR
also identified significant impacts to the sensitive plant species San Diego Goldenstar.
Sensitive animal species impacted included the California Gnatcatcher and potentially
occurring raptor species. As described in the updated biological resources report, the City has
committed that upland vegetation communities and sensitive species would be mitigated
within the context of the approved Habitat Conservation Plan/Ongoing Multi-Species Plan
(HCP/OMSP).
Use of the HCP/OSMP as mitigation for impacts of the Final Alignment Studies to upland
vegetation and sensitive species is consistent with the mitigation requirements of the EIR.
The EIR concludes that all impacts to upland vegetation and sensitive species would
mitigated once the HCPIOMSP has been adopted and a system of mitigation credits are in
place. Consistent with the requirements of the EIR, the City has implemented the
requirements of the HCP/OMSP in the form of purchasing credits to mitigate impacts to
upland vegetation and sensitive animal and plant species associated with the roadway
realignment.
The updated Biological Resources Report also addresses recently listed endangered species as
well as other sensitive animal and plant species that were not covered by the EIR. The report
concludes that all mitigation required in the approved HCP/OMSP would address all
potentially occurring animal species except for two fairy shrimp species, quino checkerspot
butterfly and Pacific pocket mouse. According to the Biological Resources Report, surveys
for the quino checkerspot were negative and the habitat onsite is inappropriate for the pocket

mouse. In addition, the site is located in a portion of the County for which the USFWS
determined in 2000 that no additional surveys would be required if negative surveys had been
previously conducted. Vernal pools would not be impacted by the project. As a result, it is
not anticipated that the road would directly impact fairy shrimp. The Biological Resources
Report also included surveys for sensitive reptile species including the California redlegged
frog that were negative. Results of surveys for San Diego thornmint were also negative.
Wetlands
The EIR concludes that the project would result in impacts to jurisdictional wetlands and
that mitigation in the form of offsite creation/enhancement as well as obtaining the
necessary permits from the ACOE, the CDFG and RWQCB will be required prior to
construction. The updated Biological Resources Report concludes that the roadway and
bridge replacement would disturb approximately 1.5 acres of riparian habitat includingACOE
jurisdiction waters. Measures incorporated into the project to reduce impacts to wetlands
to below a level of significance are listed in Section 2.4 of this Addendum and are consistent
with those measures listed in the EIR. Considering that measures are incorporated into the
project including commitment to offsite wetland restoration/creation and that the proposed
project substantially conforms to the limits of grading covered by the EIR, no new significant
impacts to wetlands beyond that identified in the EIR would be associated with
implementation of the project.
The updated Biological Resources Report identifies four vernal pools in the project vicinity
that were not identified in the EIR. However, these vernal pools would be located
approximately 200-600 feet from the proposed limits of grading for the Final Alignment. As
a result, it is not anticipated that implementation of the roadway would impact these vernal
pools.
4.5 Noise
The EIR concluded that increased traffic on the proposed roadway would result in long term *
noise level greater than 60 db(A) at the property line from increased traffic on the realigned
Ranch0 Santa Fe Road. As a result, residential land uses proposed adjacent to the roadway
may experience significant noise levels. Mitigation identified in the EIR consists of
implementation of measures contained in the City Noise element as a part of future
developments adjacent to the roadway.

Prof~siond Pam3 fm CmnpLs hojets Final EIR Addendum + Ranch0 Santa Fe Road Realignment and Bridge Replacement 4-6
Section 4.0 Rationale
Implementation of the roadway realignment and widening in accordance with the Final
Alignment Studies for the roadway realignment and bridge replacement would not create
new significant impacts in terms of construction noise or long-term traffic generated noise
beyond that identified in the EIR. Measures have been incorporated into the design and
construction process to reduce short term construction noise impacts below a level of
significance (see Section 2.4). The Final Alignment Studies for the roadway realignment and
bridge replacement would not increase the travelway width or capacity beyond that
addressed in the EIR. Considering that no additional capacity would be developed, no new
long term impacts from traffic noise beyond that addressed in the EIR would be associated
with approval of the Final Alignment Studies
Furthermore, the City has completed an acoustical report subsequent to approval of the EIR
to comply with the requirement of the EIR that subsequent acoustical studies be prepared
to refine measures necessary to reduce impacts from traffic noise on residential projects. The
acoustical report (Dudek & Associates, 1997) is incorporated by reference to this Addendum
and is available for review at the City. The report concluded that with measures incorporated
into the project design (see Section 2.4) no significant impacts to existing residences in the
vicinity of the roadway would occur.
4.6 Light and Glare
No new significant impacts from light and glare to existing residents are anticipated with
project implementation beyond that identified in the EIR. The proposed project design
incorporates measures required by the EIR (see Section 2.4) to reduce light from the roadway.
In addition, the alignment for the roadway was chosen by the City to maximize the distance
between the roadway and the existing residences in the vicinity of La Costa Avenue. The
proposed alignment conforms with that anticipated by the EIR. As a result, no lighting
sources from the proposed project would be closer to the existing residences than from that
evaluated by the EIR.
4.7 Land Use
The Final Alignment Studies proposed for the roadway conform with the alignment and
capacity evaluated in the EIR and approved by the Circulation Element of the City General
Plan. Therefore, the proposed project would not create any new land use inconsistencies with
relevant land use planning documents beyond that identified in the EIR.

Section 4.0 Rationale
4.8 Public Services
Implementation of the proposed Final Alignment Studies for the roadway realignment and
bridge replacement would not generate additional population growth. The proposed Final
Alignment Studies implement the roadway alignment and capacity increase evaluated in the
EIR. In addition, widening the roadway is designed to implement the approved Circulation
Element of the City General Plan. The Circulation Element provides for transportation
elements necessary to accommodate both existing demand and planned growth within the
City.
4.9 Utilities
Adoption of the proposed Final Alignment Studies would not generate demand for sewer,
water, natural gas, electrical or solid water services. It is anticipated that utilities such as
sewer, water, gas and electricity necessary to serve future development would be located
within the alignment proposed for the roadway. However, adoption of the Final Alignment
Studies and construction of the roadway itself would not include any utility connections or
increase demand for those services. As a result, implementation of the project would not
create any new significant impacts with respect to utilities from that anticipated by the EIR.
4.10 Landform Alteration/Visual Quality
The Final Alignment Studies proposed by the project would implement the alignment and
roadway width anticipated by the EIR. The limits of grading or location of the roadway
proposed as a part of the Final Alignment Studies substantially conform with that identified
in the EIR and approved as a part of the General Plan Circulation Element are proposed.
Therefore, quantities of earth work as well as size of manufactured slopes (50-100 feet) would
not exceed that anticipated by the EIR. In addition, the proposed project design incorporates
the measures required by the EIR to mitigate potential impacts to existing land forms and
visual quality. These measures are listed in Section 2.4 of this Addendum.
A separate visual assessment was prepared by the City for the bridge replacement portion of
the project in 1997 to further define measures necessary to reduce visual impacts associated
with manufactured slopes identified in the Final Alignment Studies (DUDEK, March 25,
1997). Preparation of the technical study was completed in accordance with the requirement

.-
Section 4.0 Rationale
of the EIR that grading from hillsides be designed to maintain the appearance of natural
slopes where possible. The visual assessment is incorporated by reference to this document
and is available for review at the City. Measures required in the visual assessment for
potential impacts to visual quality associated with exposed manufactured slopes have been
incorporated into the project (see Section 2.4 of this Addendum).
4.11 Cultural/Historic Resources
The EIR concluded that six.historic sites within the project area are vulnerable to destruction.
Five of these sites are considered potentially important. The EIR required further site testing
and surveys as a part of future development of urban uses to mitigate for potential impacts
to these cultural sites.
The City has completed a cultural resource study subsequent to the approval of the EIR that
cover the proposed Final Alignment Studies for both Phases 1 and 2 of the roadway (Gallegos
& Associates, 2000). These cultural resources studies are available for review at the City of
Carlsbad and are incorporated by reference to this Addendum. The cultural resources studies
prepared for Phase 1 for Phase 2 concluded that the proposed Final Alignment Studies would
avoid disturbance of significant cultural resources. Therefore, implementation of the
proposed Final Alignment Studies would not result in new impacts to cultural resources from
that identified in the EIR.
4.12 Traffic/Circulation
The EIR concludes that traffic volumes would increase in association with development of
the 448-acre area proposed for mass grading. However, the realigned and widened Ranch0
Santa Fe Road would operate acceptably by accommodating proposed traffic levels and
improving levels of service at intersections in the project vicinity. As a result, the EIR
concluded that development of the project area as well as construction of the roadway would
not result in significant adverse impacts to traffic congestion or circulation within the project
area.
Adoption of the proposed Final Alignment Studies would not alter the alignment or capacity
of the roadway from that covered in the EIR and, therefore, would implement the traffic
congestion relief anticipated by the EIR with implementation of the realignment. As
discussed in the EIR, the proposed roadway realignment, widening and bridge replacement
March 2000 1576-17
I’raf.nia.l7ralN for complex Pl*ject* Final EIR Addendum + Ranch0 Santa Fe Road Realignment and Bridge Replacement 4-9
-
Section 4.0 Rationale
improvements are necessary to implement the transportation requirements of the City of
Carlsbad General Plan. Community benefits from this project will include reduced
congestion, improved traffic flow and increased safety for travelers on the roadway.
Additionally, this road realignment will provide a vital link in the regions roadway network,
Increasing the capacity of the roadway would bring levels of service at intersections in the
project vicinity to acceptable levels. In addition, the proposed project incorporates all traffic
mitigation measures required by the EIR related to Ranch0 Santa Fe Road. Measures required
by the EIR incorporated into the project are listed in section 2.4 of this Addendum.
4.13 Cumulative Effects
As concluded in the previous discussion for each environmental category, no new significant
impacts beyond that identified in the EIR would occur with implementation of the proposed
Final Alignment Studies. Furthermore, measures are incorporated into the proposed Final
Alignment Studies to reduce Air Quality, Earth Resources, Water Resources, Biological
Resources, Noise, Light and Glare, Visual Quality/Landform Alteration and Traffic/
Circulation. Therefore, in the absence of significant impacts or increase in the severity of
impacts, development in accordance with the Final Alignment Studies would not create new
significant cumulative impacts beyond that identified in the EIR.
4.14 Growth Inducement
The proposed Final Alignment Studies implement the roadway alignment and capacity
increase evaluated in the EIR. In addition, widening the roadway is designed to implement
the approved Circulation Element of the City General Plan. The Circulation Element
provides for transportation elements necessary to accommodate both existing demand and
planned growth within the City. Therefore, implementation of the proposed Final Alignment
Studies would not create new growth impacts beyond that identified in the EIR.

MITIGATION,MONITORING AND
REPORTXNGPROGRAM(MMRP)
The City is responsible for the overall implementation and management of the MMRP
through the design, construction and operations period.
The mitigation measures that were adopted as conditions of project approval are described
in the EIR (see Section 2.0, Summary ofFindings). The City has incorporated, as part of its
proposed Final Alignment Studies for the roadway realignment and bridge replacement, a
number of measures to reduce or avoid potential environmental impacts associated with
construction and operation. These measures are considered part of the proposed Final
Alignment Studies are listed in Section 2.4 of this document.
No other mitigation measure has been identified as necessary in order to accommodate the
proposed project.
