Fiscal Analysis

provides a list of the public facilities necessary to serve development within Zone 21.
Next Steps
The City Clerk will have the ordinance or a summary of the ordinance published in a newspaper of
general circulation within fifteen days following adoption of the ordinance.
Environmental Evaluation {CEQA}
An Environmental Impact Report (EIR 15-03 -State Clearinghouse No. 2016031006) was prepared for the
project in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the CEQA Guidelines and the
Environmental Protection Procedures (Title 19) of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. The EIR addresses the
environmental impacts associated with all discretionary applications for the proposed project including
ultimate buildout of the entire project.
Item #7 March 28, 2017 Page 1 of 5
On October 31, 2016, the Draft EIR was published and the City notified interested Responsible and Trustee
Agencies, as well as other interested agencies. The "Notice of Completion" (NOC} commenced an initial 45-
day public review and comment period expiring on December 15, 2016. The NOC advised that the Draft EIR
was available for review at four locations: the City of Carlsbad Planning Division; the City Clerk's Office; the
Carlsbad Dove Library and the Georgina Cole Public Library. Complete copies were also available for
purchase, with the Appendices, through the Planning Division. The Draft EIR was also posted on the city
website. Nine comment letters were received prior to the close of the public review period . Responses to
the comment letters are contained in the Final EIR, and were sent to each commenting individual,
organization or agency. The response transmittal letter also provided notice of availability of the Final EIR.
The analysis contained in the EIR concluded that all significant impacts would be mitigated to below a level
of significance. The Final EIR includes a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP). The CEQA
Findings of Fact and the MMRP are attached to Planning Commission Resolution No. 7224 for the EIR. The
EIR also includes the required Habitat Management Plan consistency findings, which have been approved
by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and the US Fish and Wildlife Service, subject to minor
modifications. These minor modifications do not require recirculation of the EIR, and are addressed in an
Errata to the Final EIR.
Public Notification
The City Clerk will have the ordinance or a summary of the ordinance published within fifteen days,
if adopted.
