SUBJECT:
AGREEMENT FOR PROVISION OF CARILLO RANCH EIR
ST AT E M E N T O F TH E M ,£\TT E R
A Master Plan for the Carillo Ranch area was adopted in 1972. The Master Plan
became non-conforming when the Planned Community (P-C) zone was redrafted in 1973.
The Carlsbad Planning Moratorium was amended last year to allow for the processing
of the City I s non-conforming Master Pl ans. As a result, the owners of the Cari 11 o
Ranch property are ·in the process of submitting a plan which conforms to city
-standards. It was determined by staff that such a submittal would req~ire pre-
paration of an Envi~onmental Impact Report.
In December of 1979, staff distributed Requests for Proposals (RFP's)' seeking a
consultant to prepare an EIR for this property. By the deadline period of
January 4, 1980, the Planning Department had received the following bids:
The Dunham Company, Newport Beach
Haworth, Carroll & Anderson,
San Juan Capistrano
Larry Seeman & Associates,
Newport Beach
$19,870
$17,950
$15,860
Staff reviewed each of the proposals and determin~d that either Seeman & Associates
or Haworth, Carroll and Anderson had excellent qualifications for the preparation
of Environmental Impact Reports. Because of a lower bid, staff is prepared to
make the following recommendation:

INTRODUCTION

PROPOSAL
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT
RANCHO CARRILLO
REVISED MASTER PLAN
lsa
Larry Seeman·Associates (LSA) is pleased to submit this proposal for the
preparation of an Environmental Impact Report for the implementation of the
Revised Rancho Carrillo Master Plan. Our proposal is based on discussions
with the City staff and our knowledge of the area. The following scope of
· services reflects a level of effort which, in our opinion, will result in a
complete and objective environmental analysis in a format which will meet all
of the requirements of the City of Carlsbad and the California Environmental
Quality Act. ·
LSA is a highly respected environmental consulting firm with extensive
experience in preparing EIR's for similar projects throughout California.
In addition, all of the_ key members of the study team are · personally familiar
with the City of Carlsbad.
STUDY PLAN/SCOPE OF SERVICES
Gene1--a1.· We propose to prepare-a preiiniinary·draft, a draft, and a.final
. EIR for the proposed development. The EIR will address all of the issues
· normally addressed in such documents and will include all of the information
required by applicable local and state environmental requirements. The draft
and final EIR shall include a summary of impacts section highlighting and ·
abstracting the project descri~tion, impacts, a~d mitigation measures. The
report will cover the full range of potencial environmental issues, but will
focus on those issues which are considered to be the most significant.· The
following tabulation reflects our preliminary assessment of the relative sen-
sitivity of the various issues to be addressed. Our assessment of the sig-
ficiance of individual topics may change during the course of the study.

For the issues identtfted as· 11 high'', we propose rather extensive analysis •
. · For those issues identified as· "moderate'', we p.ropose a thorough review of
existing data including fieldwork a~ necessary. In all cases, the signif-i-
cance of potential impacts will be evaluated and necessary mitigatfon measures
formulated.
The project alternattves section shall address a range of land use altern-
ati.ves and asse:;s the di.fferential envtronmental consequences focusing on im-
pacts and issues whicb are most significant,
_:·. :, . Topograpny. Using topographic:' maps to oe provided by the applicant and
field visits, the topography of the site will be analyzed and described. The
impacts on the landform of the proposed project will be analyzed on the basis of
the conceptual grading plan. Mitigation measures designed to minimize impacts
on tlie l andform will Be proposed as necessary.
· Geology/Soils. We will review and assess previously prepared studies of
· the area. A summary of the findings, conclusions, and recommendatiJns of the
geology/sons report prepared by Geosoils, Inc for the project applicant will
be included, focusing on constraints or hazards .which could affect the pro-
posed development, significant rock oatcroppings, and the impli~ations of the
proposed landform modifications on existing slopes,
Hydrology/Water Quality. We will assess the hydrologic and water quality
impacts of the proposed project with particular emphasis on the impacts of
· runoff and siltation. While the site i_tself is not within a flood plain, any
increase in runoff from the site will contribute to the potential flood
hazard downstream. In addition, siltation and erosion pose significant problems
downstream from the site.· LSA will consult with the project engineer in order
to calculate the potential increase in runoff and will review the drainage
and erosion control plans in conjunction with the co~ceptual grading plans.
( (

lsa
Bioiogical Resources. Existing information on biological resources will
be reviewed, summarized, and evaluated. Because of previous studies, a com--
plete biotic inventory and survey is not required. However, particular
attention will be given to potential project impacts on any identified areas
of riparian vegetation and other significant biological resources, as well
as any identified rare or endangered species. · · ·
Air Quality. We w"ill perform an air quality analysis of the proposed
project. This analysis will be done in accordance with the requirements of
the AQMD and will include a discussion of both the .regional and localized
implications of the project. · ·
Land Use. The proposed project will be analyzed with respect to the
City's General Plan, Zoning Ordinance," and all .other applicable laws and
policies. Potential impacts · of the proposed project on overall City policy
or on land use planning efforts in the immediate vicinity will be identified
and mitigation measures proposed. ·
..
Traffic and Circulation. All existing traffic information in the
, vicinity win be reviewed. A summary of the findings, conclusions, and reco-
mmendations of the traffic report being prepared fbr the applicant by Weston
Pringle will be included •
. Noise. A noise analysis will be conducted to assess potential noise
. problems in the vicinity. Traffie ·and aircraft related noise impacts on
developments within the project area will be quantified. Activities at
the nearby raceway w'ill be reviewed to identify potential problems. Miti-
gation measures will be proposed as necessary.
Utilities and Services •. All departments and agencies which will be
providing utilities and services to the proposed development will be contacted
to determine the capacity and adequacy of existing systems and to ·i d2nti fy
potential defici~ncies, improvements or expansions which would be required.
A summary and an::ilysis of the results of pertinent studies, focluding the
reient Master Plan of sewage treatment facilities, addressing issues of
utilities and services will be included. Particular emphasis will be placed
on water, sewer, police, fire and schools.
Archaeological/Paleontological/Historical Resource~. All previous
studies will be reviewed. A summary of the original archaeological study.
conducted by Recon, and the subsequent review conducted by WESTEC Services
will be prepared.
Energy. A complete analysis of energy consumption, proposed conservation
programs and potential alternate energy sources will be prepared. Mitigation
measures wi 11 be recommended as necessary.
/. ; ( (

lsa
. Agriculture. A summary of the agricultural feasibility study currently
being prepared for the applicant will be prepared.

PROPOSAL
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT
RANCHO CARRILLO
REVISED MASTER PLAN
Larry Seeman Associates (LSA) is pleased to submit this proposal for the
preparation of an Environmental Impact Report for the implementation of the
Revised Rancho Carrillo Master Plan. Our proposal is based on discussions
with the City staff and our knowledge of the area. The follm-ving scope of
services reflects a level of effort which, in our opinion, will result in a
complete and objective environmental analysis in a format which will meet all
of the requirements of the City of Carlsbad and the California Environmental
Qua ii ty Act. ·
LSA .is a highly res~ected environmental consulting firm ~ith extensive
_ experience in preparing EIR's for similar projects throughout California.
In addition, all of the_ key members of the study team are personally familiar
with the City of Carlsbad.
STUDY PLAN/SCOPE OF SERVICES
-. . .
·. General. We propose to prepare-a prei iminary" dra.ft, a draft, -and a final
EIR for the proposed development. The E IR wi l.l address a 11 of the issues ·
· normally addressed in such documents and will include all of the information
required by applicable local and state environmental requirements. The draft
and final EIR shall include a summary of impact? section highlighting and
abstracting the project description, impacts, and mitigation measures. The
report will cover the full range of potencial environmental issues, but will
focus on those issues which are considered to be .the most significant. The
following tabulation reflects our preliminary assessment of the relative sen-
sitivity of the various issues to be addressed. · Our assessment of the sig-
ficiance of individual topics may change during the course of the study.

For the issues identtfted as-"hi_gh11 , we propose rather extensive analysis •
. · For those issues identified as "moderate", we propose a thorough review of
· existing data includi'ng fie'ldwork as necessary. In all cases, the signifi-
cance of potenti"a 1 impacts wtll be evaluated and necessary mitigation measures
formulated. ·
The project alternattves section shall address a· rang~ of land use altern-
a ti_ ves and asse:.;s the di. fferentta l envtronmenta 1 consequences focusing on im-
pacts and issues which are most significant.
. .. Topograpl'.!r. Using topographi_c' maps-to be provided by the applicant and
. field visits, the topography of the site will be analyzed ·and described. The
impacts on the landform of the proposed project will be analyzed on the basis of
··the co~ceptual grading plan. Mitigation measures designed to minimize impacts
on the _ l andform 1vi 11 15e proposed as necessary.
Geology/Soils. We will review and assess previously ·prepared studies of
· the area. A summary of the findings, conclusions, and recommendatiJns of the
geology/soils report prepared by Geosoils, Inc.' for the project applicant wiil
be incl~ded, focusing on constraints or hazards which could affect the pro-
posed development, significant rock outcroppings, a~d the impli~ations of the
proposed landform modificatfons on existing slopes.
Hydrology/Hater Quality_. We will assess the hydrologic and water quality
impacts of the prop,os·ed project wi_th particular emphasis on the impacts of
.· runoff and siltation. While the site i.tself is not within a flood plain, any
increase in runoff from the site will contribute to the potential flood -
hazard downstream. In addttion, siltation and erosion pose significant problems
downstream from the stte. _ LSA will consult with the project engineer in order
to calculate the potential increase in runoff and will review the drainage
and erosion control plans in conjunction with the conceptual grading plans~

Biological Resources. Existing information on biological resources will
be reviewed, summarized, and evaluated. Because of previous studies, a corn~
plete biotic inventory and survey is not required. However, particular
attention will be given to potential project impacts on any identified areas
of riparian vegetation and other significant biological resources, as well
as any ·identified rare or endangered species. · ·
{\ir Quality. We will perform an air qualHy analysis of the propo_sed
project. This analysis will be done in accordance with the requirements of
the AQMD and will include a discussion of both the regional and localized
implications of the project~ · ·
· Land Use. The proposed project will be analyzed with reipect to the
· C·ity's General Plan, Zoning Or dinance; and a1l other applicable lav1s and
policies. Potential impacts of the proposed project on overall City policy
or on land use planning efforts in the immediate vicinity will be identified
and mitigation measures proposed.
Traffic and Circulation. All existing ·traffic information in the
· vicinity 1-,ill be revie\ved. A summary of the findings, conclusions, and reco-
mmendations of the traffic report being prepared for the applicant by Weston
Pringle will be included •
. Noise. A noise analysis will be conducted to assess potential noise
problems in the vicinity. Traffic and aircraft related noise impacts on
developments within the project area will be quantified. Activities at
the nearby raceway will be reviewed to identify potential problems. Miti-
gation measures will be proposed as necessary.
Utilities and Services~. All departments and agencies which will be
. providing utilities ~nd services to the proposecl development will be contacted
to determine the capacity and adequacy of existing systems and to ·j d2nti fy
potential deficiencies, improvements or expans{ons which would be required.
A summary and an~lysis of the results _of pertinent studies, including the·
recent Master Plan of sewage treatment facilities, addressing issues of
utilities and services will be included. Particular emphasis will be placed
on water, sewer, police, fire and schools.
Archaeological/Paleontological/Historical Resources. All previous
studies will be reviewed. A summary of the original archaeological study
conducted by Recon, and the subsequent review conducted by WESTEC Services
will be prepared.
Energy. A complete analysis of energy consumption, proposed conservation
programs and potential alternate energy sources will be· prepared. Mitigation
measures wi 11 be recommended as necessary.
