Subject: Execution of a Declaration of Restrictive Covenants for the Waters End
Open Space Parcel.
Recommended Action
Adopt a Resolution authorizing execution of a Declaration of Restrictive Covenants for the
Waters End Open Space Parcel, a portion of the Poinsettia Station Vernal Pool Preserve.
Executive Summary
The Poinsettia Station Vernal Pool Preserve (Preserve) consists of one parcel owned by the
North County Transit District (NCTD), and another owned by Waters End Home Owner's
Association. A Declaration of Restrictive Covenants (restrictive covenant), a type of
conservation easement grant document, will permanently protect the sensitive habitat and
species on the Waters End parcel. This restrictive covenant is being brought before the City
Council for authorization per Government Code Section 37350.
Discussion
In 1994, the Preserve was established by NCTD within its right-of-way adjacent to the railroad
tracks to mitigate the impacts resulting from construction of the Poinsettia Lane Commuter Rail
Station (Exhibit 2). The impacted biological resources included vernal pool habitat and several
vernal pool species protected by the California Endangered Species Act and Federal Endangered
Species Act. As required by project permits, a conservation easement was placed over this
mitigation area to permanently protect the Preserve.
In 2004, John Lang Homes, the developer for the Waters End residential development located
adjacent to Poinsettia Station, was required to conserve a 1.15-acre area adjacent to the NCTD-
owned preserve to protect sensitive vernal pool and upland habitat. This mitigation area was
added to the Preserve. However, a conservation easement was never recorded for the Waters
End portion of the preserve, allowing for the long-term protection of this parcel.
The City of Carlsbad's Habitat Management Plan (HMP) identified the Preserve as a special
resource area because this location is critical to the conservation of several "narrow endemic"
plant and fairy shrimp species. Narrow endemic species are highly restricted by their habitat
requirements and geographic location. A restrictive covenant will permanently protect the
Waters End parcel and contribute to the long-term sustainability of these vernal pool species.

Fiscal Analysis
The restrictive covenant will give the city a right to enter the property and conduct land
management activities such as invasive species removal and biological monitoring, but does not
obligate the city to any activities or responsibilities that require additional funding. Funding for
management activities will be obtained from an existing non-wasting endowment account
established by the Waters End developer.
Next Steps
After the Declaration of Restrictive Covenants is executed by the city, it will be forwarded to the
San Diego County Recorder for recordation and a copy will be submitted to the current
landowner.
Environmental Evaluation (CEQA)
The project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per State CEQA
Guidelines Section 15307 -Actions by regulatory agencies for protection of natural resources.
Public Notification
This item was noticed in accordance with the Ralph M. Brown Act and was available for public
viewing and review at least 72 hours prior to the scheduled meeting date.
