DEPT. 19,672 12/16/08 PLN AMENDMENT TO THE GENERAL PLAN BATCH 3 OF 2008 GPA 06-08 (Adams Street Subdivision)/GPA 08-01 (Robertson Ranch PA 14) DEPT. HEAD M/l^' CITY ATTY. <$££ CITY MGR. (V RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council ADOPT Resolution No. 2008-333 APPROVING the third amendments in 2008 to the Land Use Element and Open Space and Conservation Element of the General Plan, consisting of two projects commonly known as "Adams Street Subdivision" (GPA 06-08), and "Robertson Ranch PA 14" (GPA 08-01). ITEM EXPLANATION: State law allows a jurisdiction to amend a mandatory element of the General Plan no more than four times per calendar year. The mandatory elements are Land Use, Circulation, Housing, Open Space, Noise, Safety, and Conservation. Each amendment to a mandatory element, however, may include more than one change to that element. The two General Plan Amendment (GPA) applications listed below propose changes to the Land Use Element, and one GPA application proposes a change to the Open Space and Conservation Element. The City Council has approved in concept each of the applications at duly noticed public hearings on the meeting dates noted below. The two applications are now being grouped together to comprise the third amendments in 2008 to the Land Use Element and Open Space and Conservation Element. The recommended action would formally adopt the changes to the General Plan (previously approved in concept), which will ensure consistency between the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: TABLE C ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS OF THE THIRD AMENDMENTS IN 2008 TO THE LAND USE ELEMENT AND THE OPEN SPACE AND CONSERVATION ELEMENT Project Environmental Status Third Amendment to the General Plan in 2008 The amendments to the Land Use Element and the Open Space and Conservation Element of the General Plan are considered a project, and are therefore subject to CEQA. The environmental analyses of the two projects that comprise the third amendments in 2008 to the Land Use Element and Open Space and Conservation Element have been previously conducted, and reviewed and certified by the City Council in accordance with CEQA (described below). No additional environmental analysis is necessary. GPA 06-08 Adams Street Subdivision GPA 06-08 is part of a project that consists of a two-lot minor subdivision and construction of two single- family residences on property generally located on the south side of Adams street along the north shore of Agua Hedionda Lagoon between Highland Drive and Park Drive. Environmental review for the project, including GPA 06-08, was processed in accordance with CEQA. Potentially significant impacts were identified to both biological and cultural resources, as well as exposure of people or structures to wild land fire. The developer has agreed to mitigation measures to reduce the identified impacts to below a level of significance in accordance with CEQA. A Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program were adopted by the City Council on November 18, 2008. GPA 08-01 Robertson Ranch PA 14 GPA 08-01 is part of a project that consists of the development of 16 residential dwelling units on property generally located northwest of the intersection of Wind Trail Way and future Glen Avenue. The property is identified as Planning Area 14 and is located within the East Village of the Robertson Ranch Master Plan. Environmental review for the project, including GPA 08-01, was processed in accordance with CEQA. No potentially significant impacts would result with implementation of the project that were not previously examined and evaluated in the Final Program Environmental Impact Report for the Robertson Ranch Master Plan (EIR 03-03), certified by the City Council on November 14, 2006, and dated April 2006, BRG Consulting Inc. At the certification hearing, the City Council adopted the CEQA Findings of Fact, a Statement of Overriding Considerations, and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. The EIR 03-03 "Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations" applies to all subsequent projects covered by the Robertson Ranch Master Plan Final Program EIR. All mitigation measures contained in the adopted Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program from EIR 03-03 applicable to the proposed project have been completed, incorporated into the project design, or are required as conditions of approval for the project or for the previously approved East Village Master Tentative Map (CT 02-16). All mitigation required for the grading plan and the Final Map for CT 02-16 to permit grading for the project area have been applied. On December 2, 2008 City Council adopted Resolution 2008-320 determining that the project is within the scope of the Final Program EIR 03-03 and that no further CEQA compliance is required.
