A REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION
P.C. AGENDA OF: November 5, 1997
ItemNo.@
Application complete date: May 29, 1997
Project Planner: Chris DeCerbo
Project Engineer: Clyde Wickham
SUBJECT: CT 97-04/CP 97-02/SDP 97-03 -CALAVERA HILLS VILLAGE L-1 -
Request for approval of a Tentative Map, Condominium Permit and Site
Development Plan to construct 35 single family detached condominium units on
the northwest comer of Harwich Drive and Edgeware Way in the PC zone in
Local Facilities Management Plan Zone 7.
I. RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolutions No. 4181, 4182 and
4183 APPROVING CT 97-04, CP 97-02 and SDP 97-03, based on the findings and subject to
the conditions contained therein.
II. INTRODUCTION
The applicant is requesting the approval of various permits to develop a 6.3 acre site (Village L-
I) in the Calavera Hills Master Plan with 35 single family detached condominium units, one
common recreation lot and private streets. Five (5) of the proposed units will be reserved as
affordable for-sale condominium units. In order to enable the achievement of these 5 affordable
dwelling units, the applicant is requesting the approval of three development standards
modifications (economic incentives) including 24 foot wide private streets, 18 foot garage
setbacks and exclusive use areas (lots) less than 3,500 square feet in area. This inclusionary
housing project was unanimously approved (6-0) by the Housing Commission on September 11,
1997. Otherwise, as designed and conditioned, the project is in compliance with the General
Plan, the Calavera Hills Master Plan, the Zoning Ordinance, Subdivision Ordinance and the Zone
7 Local Facilities Management Plan.
III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
A major amendment to the Calavera Hills Master Plan, located in the Northeast Quadrant of the
City, was approved by the City Council on November 1, 1993. The Master Plan is divided into
Villages A through Y for planning purposes. The applicant, the Clurman Company, Inc., is
requesting approval of a Tentative Map, Condominium Permit and Site Development Plan to
construct 35 detached condominium units in Village L-1, on a 6.3 acre rectangular shaped lot
which is located on the northwest comer of Harwich Drive and Edgeware Way.
As shown on Exhibits "A" -"Q", the proposed project would consist of 35 detached single
family condominium units developed around a central 24 foot wide private street which is
~ CT 97-04/CP 97-02/SDP '-03-CALA VERA HILLS VILLAGE L!
November 5, 1997
Pa e2
configured in a loop. Five of the proposed condominium units (units 17, 25, 29, 34 and 35)
would be restricted as affordable to lower-income households. Each of the detached
condominium units have fenced exclusive use yard areas (including a minimum 10 foot wide
side yard and minimum 480 square foot rear yard). The units are separated by a minimum of 10
feet and are setback an average of 15 feet from the private street. Twelve (12) guest parking
spaces (including 10 bay and 2 on-street) are well dispersed along the private street. Also
included within the center of the project is a 3500 square foot common active recreation area
containing a practice basketball court and a tot-lot area. .
The condominiums would all be two-stories (between 23'6" and 25') in height, have attached
two-car garages and would range in size from 1,330 to 1,910 square feet. The project would
feature Mediterranean architecture consisting of barrel tile roofs with varying roof lines, stucco
exteriors with wood and wrought iron accents and front entries with single story roof overhangs.
The eastern two-thirds (4.16 acres) of the subject property has been rough graded into a relatively
level building pad consistent with a previous discretionary approval (CT 85-30) and the western
one-third of the property (2.14 acres) is comprised of steep natural slopes which are vegetated
with coastal sage scrub habitat and are located within an existing open space easement. Public
street improvements have been constructed along Harwich Drive, and Edgeware Way has been
graded, but is not improved with paving, curb, gutter and sidewalks.
The surrounding neighborhood is developed with three-story, multi-family units to the west, two-
story duplex units to the north, and vacant residentially designated land to the south and east.
The Calavera Hills Community Park is located approximately 700 feet to the south along
Harwich Drive and a designated neighborhood commercial site is located at the intersection of
Carlsbad Village Drive and College Avenue within walking distance of Village L-1.
The property is located in the Planned Community (PC) zone and is subject to the requirements
of the Calavera Hills Master Plan and is designated Residential Medium High (RMH 8-15 du/ac)
by the General Plan.
In 1992 the City Council approved an application (CT 92-05/PUD 92-06/SDP 92-05) for the
development of 58 attached townhome units on this property. This project included 9 affordable
dwelling units, thereby qualifying as the City's first approved inclusionary housing project.
This approved inclusionary housing project was granted a standards modification to reduce
driveway widths to 24 feet. A similar standards modification is being requested with this
application.
IV. ANALYSIS
Staffs recommendation of approval for this project was developed by analyzing the project's
consistency with the applicable City regulations and policies. This analysis will present in text
. and tables the project's consistency with the applicable regulations and policies listed below:

2. Chapter 21.53, Section 21,53.120, Site Development Plan;
D. Growth Management Ordinance, Local Facilities Management Plan Zone 7;
E. Subdivision Ordinance (Title 20) and the California Subdivision Map Act; and
F. Environmental Protection Procedures (Title 19) and the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA).
A. GENERAL PLAN
LAND USE ELEMENT
The property has a Residential Medium High (RMH) General Plan Land Use designation that
allows the development of low rise condominium projects that range in density from 8 to 15
du/acre with an 11.5 du/acre growth management control point. The project will include 35
detached condominium units developed at a density of 8.3 dwelling units per net acre, therefore,
the project is consistent with the allowed density and land use designation of the General Plan.
HOUSING ELEMENT
Pursuant to Housing Element Policy 3.6.b (15% Inclusionary Housing Requirement), this project
is required to provide 15% of it's total units (35 units x .15 = 5 .25 units) as affordable to lower
income households. Consistent with this policy, the project will provide 5 condominium units
which are affordable to lower income households. The remaining one-quarter unit inclusionary
housing requirement will be satisfied through the payment of an inclusionary housing in-lieu fee
to the City. All of the 5 affordable condominium units will have 4 bedrooms, thereby helping the
City to achieve it's large family housing policy objective (Housing Element Policy 3.2).
B. CALA VERA HILLS MASTER PLAN lS0(G)
The Calavera Hills Master Plan designates the Residential Density-Multiple Zone (RD-M) of the
City's Zoning Ordinance as the implementing zone for development standards in Village "L-1".
A Condominium Permit is being processed as part of this application and Section 21.45.020(a) of
the Planned Development Ordinance requires that the project meet the standards of the
underlying zone unless otherwise modified by the Condominium Permit. This project would
comply with the standards of the RD-M zone as follows:

With the exception of required :minimum lot size, the proposed project complies with the
requirements of the Calavera Hills Master Plan as discussed below. See discussion within
subsection C.2 of this report regarding minimum lot size standards modification request.
1) The Calavera Hills Master Plan allows multiple family development types within Village
"L-1 ". In that the Master Plan defines single family detached units as a "multiple family"
development type, the proposed detached single family condominium units are a
permitted use within Village "L-1".
2) The proposed project has been clustered adjacent to Harwich Drive and the steep, natural
coastal sage covered slopes located in the western and northwestern area of the property
have been placed into an open space easement to the City for their protection as required
by the master plan. This open space easement will be maintained by the project
homeowner' s association.
C. CARLSBAD MUNICIPAL CODE, TITLE 21
1. CHAPTER 21.45 -PLANNED DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE
A Condominium Permit is being processed along with a Tentative Map in order to allow
common ownership of the private streets and open space and to provide a method of approving
35 air space detached condominium units. Residential condominiums are subject to the
requirements of the Planned Development Ordinance. As discussed above, the development of
this site with 35 detached condominium units (8.3 du/acre) is consistent with the Residential
Medium High (RMH 8-15 du/acre and 11.5 du/acre Growth Management Control Point) land use
designation and Calavera Hills Master Plan. This condominium use would also_ be compatible
with surrounding duplex and multiple family uses.
The detached condominium units would be developed around a private loop street that is
landscaped with a combination of trees, ground cover and shrubs and enhanced with textured
paving material at the project entryway. The condominium units would each have fenced
exclusive use rear and side yard areas (minimum area of 480 SF). A 3500 square foot common
active recreation area containing a practice basketball court and a tot-lot would also be provided
in the center of the project. Each unit would have an attached two-car garage with internal
access. Recreational Vehicle parking for this project would be provided at the existing 2.5 acre

Calavera Hills R.V. storage site which is located along Tamarack Ave. Although not a
requirement for detached air-space condominium units, the project nevertheless complies with
the City's small lot architectural guidelines.
When a Condominium Permit is required, the Planned Development Ordinance has a separate set
of requirements in addition to the Master Plan requirements. This condominium project (35
detached air-space units on a single lot) was reviewed relative to the Planned Unit Development
standards which are applicable to small lot single family dwellings because of it's similarity to
such use type. The proposed project complies with the requirements of the Planned
Development Ordinance as follows:

2. CHAPTER 21.53, SECTION 21.53.120 -SITE DEVELOPMENT PLAN
The Calavera Hills Master Plan requires project compliance with the City's Inclusionary Housing
Ordinance (Chapter 21.85 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code). Therefore, 15% (5 du) of the total
number of units in Village L-1 would be required to be restricted as affordable to lower-income
households. Chapter 21.53 of the Zoning ordinance requires the approval of a Site Development
Plan for affordable housing projects of any size. The required findings, include consistency with
the General Plan goals and policies ( discussed previously in this report), adequacy of the site and
street system, and a determination that the affordable units are compatible with surrounding uses,
and will not adversely impact the site or surrounding areas ( discussed below).

November 5, 1997
Pae 6
This project would have 35 residential units of which 15%, or 5 units, are designated as
affordable to lower-income households. The proposed project does not meet the Planned
Development Ordinance's 30 foot standard for the minimum width of a private street/driveway
the 20 foot setback standard for garages facing private streets or the minimum 3,500 square foot
lot size. The project proposes 24 foot wide private streets, minimum 18 foot garage setbacks and
lot sizes ranging between 2,780 square feet to 5,540 square feet. The previous affordable
housing project approval on this site (SDP 92-05) did similarly include 24 foot wide private
driveways and the proposed 18 foot garage setback would be adequate to accommodate a parked
automobile within the driveway. In order to provide affordable housing in this project, the
applicant is requesting that the Planning Commission approve these standards modifications
pursuant to Section 21.53.120(c) of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. Section 21.53.120(c) allows a
Site Development Plan for an affordable housing project to have less restrictive development
standards than specified in the zone code or underlying zone if the project is in conformance with
the General Plan and would not have a detrimental effect on public health, safety and welfare.
For the reasons discussed below, this finding and the other above-noted findings can be made:
a. This project is consistent with the General Plan and the Calavera Hills Master
Plan as explained in Section A of this report. The project would not have a
significant impact on the environment as discussed below in Section F of this
report.
b. The proposed two story detached residential units would be compatible with the
surrounding residential development. The proposed detached single family
condominium land use would be visually and operationally less intensive, and
therefore, compatible with the duplex condominiums to the north and the multi-
family units to the west. An 11 to 30 foot building setback from Harwich Drive in
association with the construction of a masonry wall with landscaping along
Harwich Drive and Edgeware Way would provide an adequate buffer between this
project and the public streets.
c. The design of the project is creative and aesthetically sensitive in that:
1. All elevations of the detached residential condominium units include
considerable facade articulation, single story elements, varied rooflines
and sufficient architectural accent features and building forms to provide
pedestrian scale and visual interest both from the private streets within the
project and the perimeter public streets.
11. The front yard and street side setbacks would be landscaped with a
combination of trees and shrubs to partially screen the residential
structures from the public streets.
d. The proposed 3 5 residential units would be accommodated on the existing level
areas of the property without encroaching into the steep coastal sage covered
slopes located in the western portion of the site.

November 5, 1997
Pae 7
e. The project would provide adequate onsite parking and circulation to serve the
needs of the residents and their guests, and it would not impact the availability of
offsite street parking.
f. Sidewalks and drainage facilities would be provided along the project's street
frontages to serve the project.
g. The existing Planned Development Ordinance requires at a minimum 30 foot
wide private streets/driveways, however, the proposed 24 foot wide private street
would be adequate to provide safe and efficient traffic circulation, vehicle turn
movements and emergency access. The City's Parking Ordinance requires a
minimum standard width of 24 feet for a two-way traffic aisle containing 90
degree parking on both sides. A 24 foot wide driveway aisle provides adequate
separation and distance for vehicles backing out of garages and guest parking
spaces and adequate separation for two-way traffic.
Prior to January, 1987 the City's Planned Development Ordinance permitted 24
foot wide private streets/driveways in Residential Planned Unit Developments.
Under this old ordinance, the existing multi-family projects surrounding Village
L-1 in Calavera Hills were developed with 24 foot wide private streets/driveways.
Based on these neighboring residential developments, the 24 foot wide driveways
have been proven functional and historically have not resulted in traffic
circulation and public safety problems.
h. The existing Planned Development Ordinance requires that garages with entries
that face directly onto a public or private street shall maintain a minimum setback
of 20 feet. This 20 foot minimum garage setback standard ensures that resident or
guest vehicles which are parked in such driveways do not encroach into the right-
of-way of the fronting public or private street. However, based upon the fact that
the average motor vehicle (excluding recreational vehicles) measures between 15
feet and 17 feet in length, the proposed minimum 18 foot garage setback would be
adequate to allow for the typical resident or guest motor vehicle to be parked in
the driveway without encroaching into the private streets or sidewalks.
Additionally, all of the project units which have less than a 20 foot front yard
garage setback shall be conditioned to be equipped with roll-up garage doors and
garage door openers and a condition has been included which requires the project
CC&Rs to include a provision which requires that all resident vehicles be parked
within the garage unless more than 2 vehicles are owned by the resident. In this
situation, the other vehicles may be parked in the driveway.
i. Adequate primary and secondary emergency access is provided from Edgeware
Way and a utility easement off of Harwich Drive respectively. The 24 foot
private street is wide enough to accommodate emergency vehicles, and the project
would be conditioned to prohibit parallel parking along this central access way.
The project has been reviewed and approved by the Fire Department.

J. This project proposes exclusive use areas (lots) which average 3,500 square feet in
area but do not comply with the 3,500 square foot minimum lot size. However,
this reduced lot size will not result in any impacts to public health, safety and
welfare and will accomplish the General Plan (Housing Element) objective of
providing a diversity of housing types for lower-income households.
D. GROWTH MANAGEMENT
The proposed project is located within Local Facilities Management Plan Zone 7 in the Northeast
Quadrant of the City. The impacts on public facilities created by this project and compliance
with·the adopted performance standards are summarized as follows:
FACILITY .. IMPACTS COMPLIANCE
WITH STANDARDS
City Administration 121. 7 square feet Yes
Library 64.9 square feet Yes
Waste Water Treatment 35EDU Yes
Parks .24 acres Yes
Drainage NIA Yes
Circulation 350 ADT Yes
Fire Station# 3 Yes
Open Space NIA Yes
Schools CUSD Yes
Sewer Collection System 35EDU Yes
Water Distribution System 7,700 GPD Yes
This project is 45 dwelling units below the Growth Management Dwelling unit allowance for the
planning area. Based on the constraints analysis in the Local Facilities Management Plan for
Zone 7, Village L-1 was allocated 80 dwelling units. Since this project would develop only 35
units, there would be an additional 45 units available for the City's Bank of Excess Dwelling
Units in the Northeast Quadrant.
E. SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE
The proposed Tentative Map would comply with all the requirements of the City's Subdivision
Ordinance, Title 20. Adequate drainage would be provided with Edgeware Way and the entire
lot draining into an existing storm drain that flows north through the project. The project grading
to create building pads and private streets would be balanced on-site and consists of 6,100 cubic
yards of cut and 6,100 cubic yards of fill. All required public street improvements are existing
along Harwich Drive and paving, curb, gutter and sidewalk would be provided along Edgeware
Way. Access to the residences would be provided by a 24 foot wide private street containing one
ingress and egress point onto Edgeware Way and an additional gated emergency access off of
Harwich Drive.

V. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed project will be located on a property that has been rough graded into a relatively
level pad consistent with a previous discretionary approval (CT 85-30). This previously graded
pad contains no sensitive vegetation, wildlife or cultural resources. The western 1/3 of the
property is comprised of steep slopes which are vegetated with coastal sage scrub habitat. This
area of the property is however located within an existing open space easement and will not be
impacted by the project. This finding ofno project impact has been verified through surveys of
the property by staff, the US Fish and Wildlife Service, and the California Department of Fish
and Game. Based upon the EIA Part II "Initial Study" for the project and the above-noted site
surveys, it is concluded that this proposed 35 unit residential project will not create any
additional impacts that have not been previously analyzed adequately in the City's General Plan
Update EIR (MEIR 93-01 ). Therefore, the Planning Director issued a Notice of Prior
Compliance for the project on July 25, 1997.

(To be completed by the Lead Agency)
D I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the
environment, and a NEGATIVE DE CLARA TI ON will be prepared.
D I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the
environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation
measures described on an attached sheet have been added to the project A NEGATIVE
DECLARATION will be prepared.
D I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
D I find that the proposed project MAY have significant effect(s) on the environment, but at
least one potentially significant effect 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier
document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation
measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. An EIR is
required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed.
IZJ I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the
environment, there WILL NOT be a significant effect in this case because all potentially
significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier Master Environmental
Impact Review (MEIR 93-01) pursuant to applicable standards and (b) have been voided
or mitigated pursuant to that earlier Master Environmental Review (MEIR 93-01),
including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project.
Therefore, a Notice of Prior Compliance has been prepared.

--ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
STATE CEQA GUIDELINES, Chapter 3, Article 5, Section 15063 requires that the City
conduct an Environmental Impact Assessment to determine if a project may have a significant
effect on the environment. The Environmental Impact Assessment appears in the following
pages in the form of a checklist. This checklist identifies any physical, biological and human
factors that might be impacted by the proposed project and provides the City with information to
use as the basis for deciding whether to prepare an Environmental Impact Report (EIR), Negative
Declaration, or to rely on a previously approved EIR or Negative Declaration.
• A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are
adequately supported by an information source cited in the parentheses following each
question. A "No Impact" answer is adequately supported if the referenced information
sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved. A
''No Impact" answer should be explained when there is no source document to refer to, or
it is based on project-specific factors as well as general standards. ·
• "Less Than Significant Impact" applies where there is supporting evidence that the
potential impact is not adversely significant, and the impact does not exceed adopted
general standards and policies.
• "Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the incorporation
of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impact" to a
"Less Than Significant Impact." The developer must agree to the mitigation, and the
City must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the
effect to a less than significant level.
• "Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an
effect is significant.
• Based on an "EIA-Part II", if a proposed project could have a potentially significant
effect on the environment, but all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed
adequately iri an earlier EIR or Mitigated Negative Declaration pursuant to applicable
standards and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or Mitigated
Negative Declaration, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon
the proposed project, and none of the circumstances requiring a supplement to or
supplemental EIR are present and all the mitigation measures required by the prior
environmental document have been incorporated into this project, then no additional
environmental document is required (Prior Compliance).
• When "Potentially Significant Impact" is checked the project is not necessarily required
to prepare an EIR if the significant effect has been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR
pursuant to applicable standards and the effect will be mitigated, or a "Statement of
Overriding Considerations" has been made pursuant to that earlier EIR.
• A Negative Declaration may be prepared if the City perceives no substantial evidence that
the project or any of its aspects may cause a significant effect on the environment.
3 Rev. 03/28/96
--
• If there are one or more potentially significant effects, the City may avoid preparing an
EIR if there are mitigation measures to clearly reduce impacts to less than significant, and
those mitigation measures are agreed to by the developer prior to public review. In this
case, the appropriate "Potentially Significant Impact Unless Mitigation Incorporated"
may be checked and a Mitigated Negative Declaration may be prepared.
• An EIR must be prepared if "Potentially Significant Impact" is checked, and including
but not limited to the following circumstances: (1) the potentially significant effect has
not been discussed or mitigated in an Earlier EIR pursuant to applicable standards, and
the developer does not agree to mitigation measures that reduce the impact to less than
significant; (2) a "Statement of Overriding Considerations" for the significant impact has
not been made pursuant to an earlier EIR; (3) proposed mitigation measures do not reduce
the impact to less than significant, or; (4) through the EIA-Part II analysis it is not
possible to determine the level of significance for a potentially adverse effect, or
determine the effectiveness of a mitigation measure in reducing a potentially significant
effect to below a level of significance.
A discussion of potential impacts and the proposed mitigation measures appears at the end of the
form under DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION. Particular attention
should be given to discussing mitigation for impacts which would otherwise be determined
significant.

a) Does the project have the potential to degrade the □ □ □ ~ quality of the environment, substantially reduce the
habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or
wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels,
threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community,
reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or
endangered plant or animal or eliminate important
examples of the major periods of California history or
prehistory?
b) Does the project have impacts that are individually □ □ □ limited, but cumulatively considerable?
("Cumulatively considerable" means that the
incremental effects of a project are considerable when
viewed in connection with the effects of past projects,
the effects of other current projects, and the effects of
probable future projects)?
c) Does the project have environmental effects which will □ □ □ cause the substantial adverse effects on human beings,
either directly or indirectly?
XVII. EARLIER ANALYSES.
Earlier analysis of this proposed 35 unit condominium project has been completed through
the General Plan Update (GPA 94-01) and related Master Environmental Impact Report (MEIR
93-01) . The MEIR is cited as source #1 in the preceding checklist. This proposal is consistent
with the applicable portions of the General Plan and is considered a Subsequent Project that was
described in MEIR 93-01 as within its scope. There will be no additional significant impacts
due to this development that were not analyzed in the MEIR and no new or additional mitigation
measures or alternatives are required. This Subsequent Project is, therefore, within the scope of
the prior MEIR and no new environmental document nor Public Resources Code 21081
findings are required. All feasible mitigation measures identified in MEIR 93-01 which are
appropriate to this Subsequent Project have been incorporated into this project.

DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION
I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION/ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING
This project is located at the northwest corner of Harwich Drive and Edgeware Way and entails
the further subdivision of a 6.28 acre parcel into 35 two-story single family detached (zero lot
line) condominium units. The project's grading would be balanc·ed on-site and would consist of
8100 cubic yards of cut and fill on this relatively level infill lot that has been previously rough
graded. Public street improvements have been constructed along Harwich Drive and Edgeware
Way has been graded but paving, curb, gutter and sidewalks have not as yet been constructed.
The site is designated RMH (8-15 du/ac) which would allow for the development of detached
single family or multiple family units and is adjacent to a two-story residential duplex
development to the north, vacant residentially designated land to the south and east and open
space to the west. Approximately 1.7 acres located within the western 1/3 of the project site is
vegetated with coastal sage scrub habitat. This habitat is however located within an existing
open space easement and will not be impacted by this project.

ENVIRONMENT AL ANALYSIS
Environmental Impact Discussion
Air Quality
,
The implementation of subsequent projects that are consistent with and included in the updated
1994 General Plan will result in increased gas and electric power consumption and vehicle miles
traveled. These subsequently result in increases in the emission of carbon monoxide, reactive
organic gases, oxides of nitrogen and sulfur, and suspended particulates. These aerosols are the
major contributors to air pollution in the City as well as in the San Diego Air Basin. Since the
San Diego Air Basin is a "non-attainment basin", any additional air 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.
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 into the
design of the project or are included as conditions of project approval.
Operation-related emissions are considered cumulatively significant because the project is
located within a "non-attainment basin", therefore, the "Initial Study" checklist is marked
"Potentially Significant Impact". This project is consistent with the General Plan, therefore, the
preparation of an EIR is not required because the certification of Final Master EIR 93-01, by City
10 Rev. 03/28/96
• -.. Council Resolution No. 94-246, included a "Statement Of Overriding Considerations" for air
quality impacts. This "Statement Of Overriding Considerations" applies to all subsequent
projects covered by the General Plan's Final Master EIR, including this project, therefore, no
further environmental review of air quality impacts is required. This document is available at the
Planning Department.
Transportation/Circulation
The implementation of subsequent projects that are consistent with and included in the updated
1994 General Plan will result in increased traffic volumes. Roadway segments will be adequate
to accommodate buildout traffic; however, 12 full and 2 partial intersections will be severely
impacted by regional through-traffic over which the City has no jurisdictional control. These
generally include all freeway interchange areas and major intersections along Carlsbad
Boulevard. Even with the implementation of roadway improvements, a number of intersections
are projected to fail the City's adopted Growth Management performance standards at buildout. ·
To lessen or minimize the impact on circulation associated with General Plan buildout, numerous
mitigation measures have been recommended in the Final Master EIR. These include measures
to ensure the provision of circulation facilities concurrent with need; 2) provisions to develop
alternative modes of transportation such as trails, bicycle routes, additional sidewalks, pedestrian
linkages, and commuter rail systems; and 3) participation in regional circulation strategies when
adopted. The diversion of regional through-traffic from a failing Interstate or State Highway
onto City streets creates impacts that are not within the jurisdiction of the City to control. The
applicable and appropriate General Plan circulation mitigation measures have either been
incorporated into the design of the project or are included as conditions of project approval.
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 "Initial Study" checklist is marked "Potentially Significant Impact''. This project is
consistent with the General Plan, therefore, the preparation of an EIR is not required because the
recent certification of Final Master EIR 93-01, by City Council Resoluti~n No. 94-246, included
a "Statement Of Overriding Considerations" for circulation impacts. This "Statement Of
Overriding Considerations" applies to all subsequent projects covered by the General Plan's
Master EIR, including this project, therefore, no further environmental review of circulation
impacts is required.
