SUBJECT: CUP 07-03(A}/CDP 07-07(A) -BJ'S RESTAURANT & BREWHOUSE -
Request for a recommendation of approval of a Conditional Use Permit
Amendment and a Coastal Development Permit Amendment for the development
of an 8,376 square foot stand alone restaurant with 1,085 square feet of outdoor
dining on property generally located on the west side of Paseo Del Norte, north of
an approved retail commercial center, south of Car Country Drive, and east of the
Interstate 5 freeway, within the Mello II Segment of the Local Coastal Program
and Local Facilities Management Zone 3.
I. RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolutions No. 6533 and 6534
RECOMMENDING APPROVAL of a Conditional Use Permit Amendment CUP 07-03(A)
and a Coastal Development Permit Amendment CDP 07-07(A), based on the findings and
subject to the conditions contained therein.
II. INTRODUCTION
The applicant, BJ's Restaurant, Inc. is proposing to develop a stand alone restaurant with outdoor
dining on Parcel "C" within the previously approved, but not yet built, Carlsbad Paseo project
site (a.k.a. "Paseo Galleria" Center), which is located across from the Carlsbad Premium Outlets
Mall along the west side of Paseo Del Norte, south of Car Country Drive, and east of the
Interstate 5 freeway. The proposed restaurant use is permitted by the C-T-Q Zone, and is subject
to the approval of a Site Development Plan (SDP). Because the site is located within the
Commercial/Visitor-Serving Overlay Zone, the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) process replaces
the SDP permit and the CUP must be approved by the City Council. The project's location
within the Mello II Segment of the Local Coastal Program requires the processing and approval
of a Coastal Development Permit (CDP), and in accordance with Carlsbad Municipal Code
(C.M.C.) Section 21.201.120(8), the City Council shall be the final approval authority.
The proposed restaurant use was analyzed as part of the "Paseo Galleria" Center project (CUP
07-03/CDP 07-07). Amendments to CUP 07-03 and CDP 07-07 are necessary to approve the
specific details (i.e. architecture and plotting) of this previously approved use. As designed and
conditioned, the project is consistent with all applicable standards and policies, and the necessary
findings to approve the CUP and CDP Amendments can be made.

III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
Background
On August 12, 2008, the City Council approved a Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation
Monitoring & Reporting Program, Conditional Use Permit (CUP 07-03), and Coastal
Development Permit (CDP 07-07) for the development of the "Paseo Galleria" Center. On
August 21, 2008 the City Engineer approved a Tentative Parcel Map (MS 07-02). These
approvals allowed for the subdivision of a vacant 6.96-acre site into three separate parcels and
the development of a 7,511 square foot stand alone P.F. Chang's China Bistro restaurant on the
southernmost Parcel "A", a 44,391 square foot two-story commercial retail center on Parcel "B",
and a building pad area for a future stand alone restaurant of approximately 9,100 square feet in
size on the northernmost Parcel "C". A total of 533 parking spaces were approved with the site
plan. The "Paseo Galleria" Center is presently undergoing its grading and building plan check
review.
Project Description
The proposed project consists of a request for a Conditional Use Permit Amendment and Coastal
Development Permit Amendment for the architecture and plotting of a stand alone BJ's
Restaurant & Brewhouse on Parcel "C" (1.93 acres) of the previously approved, but not yet built,
"Paseo Galleria" Center.
The scope of work for the proposed restaurant includes the construction of a new 8,376 square
foot freestanding restaurant; a 1,085 square foot patio for outdoor dining; construction of a new
trash enclosure on the north side of the building; modifications to the approved parking layout
and landscape areas directly around the building pad; and installation of landscape and
decorative pavement surrounding the proposed building.
The architectural design of the proposed building is reminiscent of an old industrial loft space.
This is characterized on the interior by high ceilings and exposed duct work, stone and tiled
archways, and stamped tin cornices. On the exterior, multiple rooflines and tower features break
up the facades. The building utilizes painted stucco as its primary exterior finish with a slate tile
wainscot and cultured stone sill; painted steel awnings are proposed over each window and the
building's primary entrance; and enhanced exterior lighting is incorporated into the building
facades to accent specific areas of the building's architecture.
IV. ANALYSIS
The proposed project is subject to the following plans, ordinances, standards, and policies:
A. General Plan: Travel/Recreation Commercial (T-R) Land Use designation;
B. Commercial Tourist, Qualified Development Overlay (C-T-Q) Zone, and
Commercial/Visitor-Serving Overlay Zone;
C. Conditional Use Permit findings (C.M.C. 21.42.030), and findings pursuant to the
CommercialNisitor-Serving Overlay Zone (C.M.C. 21.208.110);
D. Mello II Segment of the Local Coastal Program, and Coastal Resource Protection
Overlay Zone (C.M.C. Chapter 21.203);

E. Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP) for McClellan-Palomar Airport; and
F. Growth Management (C.M.C. Chapter 21.90) and Zone 3 Local Facilities Management
Plan.
The recommendation for approval of this project was developed by analyzing the project's
consistency with the applicable regulations and policies. The project's compliance with each of
the above regulations is discussed in the sections below.
A. General Plan
The General Plan Land Use designation for the project site is Travel/Recreation Commercial (T-
R). This designation allows for commercial uses that serve the travel and recreational needs of
tourists, residents, and employees of business and industrial centers. The proposed restaurant use
is part of the "Paseo Galleria" Center, which was previously analyzed and found consistent with
all elements the General Plan. Accordingly, this project is consistent with the General Plan.
B. Commercial Tourist, Qualified Development Overlay (C-T-Q) Zone, and
CommercialNisitor-Serving Overlay Zone
The project site is zoned Commercial Tourist, Qualified Development Overlay (C-T-Q) Zone,
and is also located within the CommercialNisitor-Serving Overlay Zone. The
CommercialNisitor-Serving Overlay Zone contains development standards for projects within
the overlay and supersedes some of the standards of the underlying zone. In addition, the C-T-Q
Zone requirement tq process a Site Development Plan is superseded by the requirement to
process a Conditional Use Permit through the CommercialNisitor-Serving Overlay Zone. The
Conditional Use Permit findings and the Commercial/Visitor-Serving Overlay Zone findings are
discussed below in Section C of this report.
The project complies with all applicable requirements of the C-T and CommercialNisitor-
Serving Overlay Zone as illustrated in Table 1 below:

C. Conditional Use Permit findings (C.M.C. 21.42.030), and findings pursuant to the
CommercialNisitor Serving Overlay Zone (C.M.C. 21.208.110)
Commercial projects located within the Commercial/Visitor-Serving Overlay Zone require the
approval of a Conditional Use Permit by the City Council. The four findings for a Conditional
Use Permit, along with the required findings for the CommercialNisitor-Serving Overlay Zone
are summarized below:
l. That the requested use is necessary or desfrable for the development of the community,
and is in harmony with the various elements and objectives of the General Plan.
The proposed restaurant use is desirable for the development of the community in that it will
provide a service to the travel and recreational needs of tourists, residents, and employees of
the surrounding businesses and industrial centers. As discussed in Section A above, the use
is consistent with the General Plan.
2. That the requested use is not detrimental to existing uses or to uses specifically
permitted in the zone in which the proposed use is to be located.
CUP 07-03(A)/CDP 07-07(A)-BJ'S RESTAURANT & BREWHOUSE
February 18, 2009
Pae 7
The proposed restaurant is not detrimental to the existing surrounding uses or to uses
specifically permitted in the zone, in that the project has been designed to accommodate all
parking onsite within Parcel 'C", provides for adequate traffic circulation around the building
and within the· overall "Paseo Galleria" Center, and incorporates all of the required
development standards of the Commercial Tourist and CommercialNisitor-Serving Overlay
Zones to ensure compatibility of the project with the surrounding community.
3. That the site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the yards, setbacks, walls,
fences, parking, loading facilities, buffer areas, landscaping and other development
features prescribed by code and required by the planning director, planning
commission or city council, in order to integrate the use with other uses in . the
neighborhood.
The 1.93-acre Parcel "C" is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the proposed
restaurant and can fit within the proposed development area without the need for any
development standard modifications. Furthermore, the project complies with all of the
required development standards and parking requirements of the C-T Zone and the
CommercialNisitor-Serving Overlay Zone in that, adequate building and landscape setbacks
are provided; the proposed building is designed with enclosed service areas to conceal trash
receptacles and storage of supplies; and roof-mounted mechanical equipment is fully
screened from public view.
4. That the street system serving the proposed use is adequate to properly handle all
traffic generated by the proposed use.
Traffic for the proposed restaurant use was previously analyzed as part of the approved
"Paseo Galleria" Center, and through project design and traffic mitigation associated with
that project, the street system serving the proposed project is adequate to properly handle all
traffic that is expected to be generated, and all intersections and roadway segments serving
the project will operate at acceptable levels of service.
The CommercialNisitor-Serving Overlay Zone requires three additional findings as follows:
5. That the proposed project is adequately designed to accommodate the high percentage
of visitor, tourist, and shuttle/bus alternative transportation users anticipated given the
proposed use and site location within the overlay zone.
The onsite circulation system has been adequately designed to accommodate the flow of
traffic without creating conflicts between uses, and the site provides the required number of
parking spaces necessary to accommodate the proposed restaurant use. This project is part of
the overall "Paseo Galleria" Center, which includes reciprocal access agreements between
each of the individual parcels and the adjacent uses to the south to ensure cross project
vehicular circulation, and an interconnected pathway between the subject site, the public
right-of-way, and the adjacent parcels to the south ensures safe cross project pedestrian
circulation.

6. That the building form, building colors, and building materials combine to provide an
architectural style of development that will add to the objective of high quality
architecture and building design within the overlay zone.
The building has been designed with an alternative architectural design, which is compatible
with other existing and approved surrounding buildings within the vicinity. The proposed
building represents a high quality of architectural design through the use of varied building
forms, high quality building materials, and decorative architectural elements. This
combination of architectural elements creates a building that is complementary to the
surrounding development, and adds to the objective of high quality architecture and building
design within the overlay zone.
7. That the project complies with all development and design criteria of the overlay zone.
As outlined above in Section B, the project meets or exceeds all of the development and
design criteria of the overlay zone including, but not limited to parking, screening, building
height, building setbacks, building design, and landscaping.
D. Mello II Segment of the Local Coastal Program, and Coastal Resources Protection
Overlay Zone (C.M.C. Chapter 21.203)
The proposed restaurant is part of the "Paseo Galleria" Center, which has been previously
analyzed and found in compliance with the applicable Mello II LCP resource policies and the
Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone. No changes are being proposed by this amendment
which would effect the previous determination.
E. Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP) for McClellan-Palomar Airport
Parcel "C" is located approximately 1.9 miles west of the McClellan-Palomar Airport and
approximately 270 feet below the surface of the runway. It is located within the Airport
Influence Area as identified in the Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP) for the
McClellan-Palomar Airport. The site is located outside of the ALUCP 60 CNEL noise contour.
The proposed restaurant falls under Land Use Category No. 8 of the ALUCP Noise/Land Use
Compatibility Matrix (Commercial-Retail, Shopping Centers, Restaurants, and Movie Theaters).
According to the ALUCP, the proposed use is considered to be "compatible" with aircraft noise
exposures at the site.
G. Growth Management (LFMP Zone 3)
The proposed project is located within Local Facilities Management Zone 3 in the northwest
quadrant. The increase on public facilities is minor with the revised project. The impacts on
public facilities created by this project and compliance with the adopted performance standards
are summarized in Table 2 below:

The "Paseo Galleria" Center project (of which this restaurant land use is a part) was originally
approved with a Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring & Reporting
Program (City Council Resolution 2008-234, August 12, 2008). Staff has reviewed the
amendment request to approve the architecture and plotting of the restaurant, and the Planning
Director has determined that; the project is still in compliance and within the scope of the prior
environmental documents; the project has no new significant environmental effects not analyzed
as significant in the prior Mitigated Negative Declaration; none of the circumstances requiring a
Subsequent Mitigated Negative Declaration under CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 exist, and no
further CEQA compliance is required.

environment, but (1) revisions in the project plans or proposals made by, or agreed to by, the applicant
before the proposed negative declaration and initial study are released for public review would avoid the
effects or mitigate the effects to a point where clearly no significant effect on the environment would
occur, and (2) there is no substantial evidence that the project "as revised" may have a significant effect
on the environment. Therefore, a Mitigated Negative Declaration will be recommended for adoption
by the City of Carlsbad City Council. •• •
A copy of the initial study (EIA Part 2) documenting reasons to support the proposed Mitigated Negative
Declaration is on file in the Planning Department, 1635 Faraday Avenue, Carlsbad, California 92008.
Comments from the public are invited. Please submit comments in writing to the Planning Department
within 30 days of the date of this notice.
The proposed project. and Mitigated Negative Declaration are subject to review and approval/adoption by

9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION/ ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING AND SURROUNDING LAND
USES:
The proposed project includes a Conditional Use Permit (CUP 07-03), Coastal Development
Permit (CDP 07-07), and Minor Subdivision Map (MS 07-02) to allow for the subdivision and
. development of a 6.96-acre Commercial-Tourist (C-T-Q) zoned parcel (APN 211-021-30) located
· on the west side of Paseo de! Norte, south of Car Country Drive, and east of the Interstate 5
freeway.
The parcel is being subdivided into three separate parcels. Parcel A is approximately 1.6 acres in
size and will include a 7,511 sq. ft. stand alone restaurant for P.F. Chang's. Parcel B is
approximately 3.5 acres in size and will include a 44,391 sq. ft. two-story retail commercial
center. Parcel C is approximately I .9 acres in size and will be pad graded and improved with
parking and landscaping for a future stand alone restaurant tenant. Parcel C is providing 162
parking spaces, which are enough spaces to accommodate a future restaurant of approximately
9, l 00 sq. ft. in size. A total 533 parking spaces are being provided for the three uses.
Two additional points of vehicular access for ingress and egress are proposed along Paseo del
Norte. One of the proposed driveways is aligned with the existing driveway for the Carlsbad
Premium Outlets, and the other is aligned with Car Country Drive. The intersection of Car
County Drive and Paseo del Norte is presently a signalized intersection, which will be modified to
accommodate signalized traffic movements for ingress and egress of the site, and for new
pedestrian movements.
( (
Project Number(s): ...:UP 07-03/CDP 07-07/MS 07-02
Project Name: Carlsbad Paseo
The parcel is zoned C-T-Q (Commercial Tourist with a Qualified Development Overlay Zone).
The current General Plan Land Use designation is T-R (Travel Recreation Commercial). No
change is being proposed to either the General Plan or Zoning. The site is located within Local
Facilities Management Plan (LFMP) Zone 3 in the northwest quadrant of the City of Carlsbad.
Surrounding_ land uses include a vehicle storage site for Ken Grody Ford to the north, a stand
alone restaurant (King's Fish House) to the south, Carlsbad Premium Outlets to the east, and
Interstate 5 to the west.
The parcel is presently undeveloped, but has been previously graded into an artificial fill pad
forming the majority of the site. The site is topographically level with drainage relief to the west.
The site location has an existing elevation of between 59 and 62 feet above mean sea level
(AMSL). Grading of the site will require 10,109 cubic yards of cut, 13,864 cubic yards of fill,
and 4,670 cubic yards of remediation.
A concrete-lined trapezoidal-shaped drainage channel bisects the site towards its southern
boundary. Project improvements include replacement of the open drainage channel with an
underground concrete bo~ culvert. Improvements are required within the Caltrans right-of-way at
the outflow of the proposed box culvert, which. .requires the processing of an encroachment
permit. •
No Habitat Management Plan (HMP) listed sensitive habitat or plant species occur on the
property. No species of animals listed as rare, threatened; endangered or otherwise sensitive by
the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) or California Department of Fish & Game (CDFG)
are present on or adjacent to the site. No jurisdictional wetlands as defined by the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers and CDFG exist on or adjacent to the site.

(
Project Number(s): ~UP 07-03/CDP 07-07/MS 07-02
Project Name: Carlsbad Paseo
ST ATE CEQA GUIDELINES, Chapter 3, Article 5, Section 15063 requires that the City conduct an Environmental
Impact Assessment (EIA) 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 orief 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
significantly adverse, 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 thari significant level.
• "Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect is significantly
adverse. •
• Based on an "EIA-Initial Study", if a proposed project could have a potentially significant adverse effect on
the environment, but all potentially significant adverse effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an
earlier EIR o_r 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.
• When "Potentially Significant Impact" is checked the project is not necessarily required to prepare an EIR
if the significant adverse effect has been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR pursuant to applicable
standards and t~e 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 adverse effect on the environment.
• If there are one or more potentially significant adverse effects, the City may avoid preparing an EIR if there
are mitigation measures to clearly reduce adverse 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 circums.tances: (l) the potentially significant adverse 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 adverse impact to less than significant; (2) a "Statement of Overriding
Considerations" for the significant adverse impact has not been made pursuant to an earlier EIR; (3)
proposed mitigation measures do not reduce the adverse impact to less than significant; or (4) through the
EIA-Initial Study 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 after each related set of questions.
Particular attention should be given to discussing mitigation for impacts, which would otherwise be determined
significant.

buildings within a State scenic highway?
c) Substantially degrade the existing visual character or □ □ □ ~ quality of the site and its surroundings?
d) Create a new source of substantial light and glare, □ □ ~ □ which would adversely affect day or nighttime views
in the area?
a-c) No Impact. The project site is located along the westsid~·of Paseo de! Norte, between Car Country Drive and
Palomar Airport Road, and is zoned for Tourist Commercial (C-T) uses. Surrounding land uses include a vehicle
storage site for Ken Grody Ford to the north, a stand alone restaurant (King's Fish House) to the south, Carlsbad
Premium Outlets to the east, and Interstate 5 to the west. No scenic vistas, trees or rock outcroppings will be
impacted by the proposed project. No buildings, including historic buildings, are located on or adjacent to the site.
The area of proposed impact is not located within the view shed of a State scenic highway or any State highway that
is designated by Caltrans as eligible for listing as a scenic highway. The proposed project has been designed to
comply with all City development and design standards, including the City of Carlsbad Landscape Manual and the
Commercial-Visitor Serving Overlay Zone. As such, the proposed project will be harmoniously situated amongst
the surrounding land uses, and therefore will not degrade the existing visual character-or the quality of the site and
its surroundings. •
d) Less than Significant Impact. At the present time, the subject site contains no lights and produces no glare.
However, the proposed project will change the appearance of the subject site from an undeveloped parcel to a
developed site with commercial uses. Light and glare from the proposed project is not anticipated to be significantly
greater than that projected from other similar uses within the surrounding area. Standard development practices
require that all exterior light sources be shielded downward to avoid any offsite glare. The proposed development
modifications will involv.e an increase in urban appearance, but will not be dissimilar from existing uses within the
area. This increase should not result in significant new sources of light and glare, and will not adversely affect day
or nighttime views within the area.
II. AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES -(In determining
whether impacts to agricultural resources are significant
environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to the
California Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site
Assessment Model-1997 prepared by the California
Department of Conservation as an optional model to use
in assessing impacts on agriculture and farmland.) Would

a-c) No Impact. The subject site does not contain prime farmland, unique farmland or farmland of statewide
·importance. The proposed project is consistent with the Tra:vel-Recreation Commercial (T-R) General Plan Land
Use designation for the site, which anticipates. and allows for v.isitor attractions and commercial. uses that serve the
travel and recreational needs of tourists;· residents, and· employees of surrounding business and industrial centers.
The subject site is zoned for Commercial Tourist (C-T) land uses and is not encumbered by any Williamson Act
contracts. The project will not result in other changes to the existing environment, which due to their location will
result in the conversion of farmland to non-agricultural uses. Given the existing commercial land use designation of
the property, existing commercial development surrounding the site, and a lack of any existing agricultural
infrastructure, it is unlikely that agricultural operations could be vi.able at this location. Development of the site as
proposed will not adversely affect agricultural resources. Therefore, no impact is assessed.
III. AIR QUALITY -(Where available, the significance
criteria established by the applicable air quality
management or air pollution control district may be relied
upon to make the following determinations.) Would the
project:
a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the
applicable air quality plan?
b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute
substantially to an existing or projected air quality
violation?
c) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of
any criteria pollutant for which the project region is
in non-attainment under an applicable federal or state
ambient air quality standard (including releasing
emissions which exceed quantitative thresholds for
ozone precursors)?
d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant
concentrations?
e) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial
number of people?

Project Name: Carlsbad Paseo
a) No Impact. The project site is located in the San Diego Air Basin which is a state non-attainment area for ozone
(01) and for particulate matter less than or equal to 10 microns in diameter (PM10). The periodic violations of
national Ambient Air Quality Standards (AAQS) in the San Diego Air Basin (SDAB), particularly for ozone in
inland foothill areas, requires that a plan be developed outlining the pollution. controls that will be undertaken to
improve air quality. In San Diego County, this attainment planning process is embodied in the Regional Air Quality
Strategies (RAQS) developed jointly by the Air Pollution Control District (APCD) and the San Diego Association of
Governments (SANDAG).
A Plan to meet the federal standard for ozone was developed in 1994-during the process of updating the 1991 state-
mandated plan. This local plan was combined with plans from all other California non-attainment areas having
serious ozone problems and used to create the California State Implementation Plan (SIP). The SIP was adopted by
the Air Resources Board (ARB) after public hearings on November 9th through 10th in l 994, and was forwarded to
the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for approval. After considerable analysis and debate, particularly
regarding airsheds with the worst smog problems, EPA approved the SIP in mid-1996.
The proposed project relates to the SIP and/or RAQS through_ the land use and growth assumptions that are
incorporated into the air quality planning document. These growth assumptions are based on each city's and the
County's general plan. If a proposed project is consistent with its applicable General Plan, then the project
presumably has been anticipated with the regional air quality planning process. Such consistency would ensure that
the project would not have an advers5 regional air quality impact.
Section 15125(8) of the State of California Environmental· Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines contains specific
reference to the need to evaluate any inconsistencies between the proposed project and the applicable air quality
management plan. Transportation Control Measures (TCMs) are part of the RAQS. The RAQS and TCM plan set
forth the steps needed to accomplish attainment of state and federal ambient air quality standards. The.California
Air Resources Board provides criteria for determining whether a project conforms with the RAQS which include the
following:
• Is a regional air quality plan being implemented in the project area?
• Is the project-consistent with the growth assumptions in the regional air quality plan?
The project area is located in the San Diego Air Basin, and as such, is located in an area where a RAQS is being
implemented. The project is consistent with the regional air quality plan and will in no way conflict or obstruct
implementation of the regional plan. Therefore, ·no impact is assessed.
b) Less Than Significant Impact. The closest air quality monitoring station to the project site is at Camp
Pendleton. Data available for this monitoring site from 2000 through December 2004, indicate that the most recent
air quality violations recorded were for the state one hour standard for ozone (a total of 10 days during the 5-year
period). No other violations of any air quality standards have been recorded during the 5-year time period. The
project would involve minimal short-term emissions associated with grading and construction. Such emissions
would be minimized through standard construction measures such as the use of properly tuned equipment and
watering the site for dust control. Long-term emissions associated with travel to and from the project will be
minimal. Although air pollutant emissions would be associated with the project, they would neither result in the
violation of any air quality standard ( comprising only an incremental contribution to overall air basin quality
readings), nor contribute substantially to an existing or projected air quality violation. Any impact is assessed as
less than significant.
c) Less Than Significant Impact. The air basin is currently in a state non-attainment zone for ozone and
suspended fine particulates. The proposed project would represent a contribution to a cumulatively considerable
potential net increase in emissions throughout the air basin. As described above, however, emissions associated
with the proposed project would be minimal. Given the limited emissions potentially associated with the proposed
project, air quality would be essentially the same whether or not the proposed project is implemented. According to
the CEQA Guidelines Section l 5 l 30(a)( 4), the proposed project's contribution to the cumulative impact is
considered de minimus. Any impact is assessed as less than significant.
9 Rev. 12/13/07
Project Number(s{ ...,l,]p 07-0JiCDP 07-07/MS 07-02
Project Name: Carlsbad Paseo
d) No impact. As noted above, the proposed would not result in substantial pollutant emissions or concentrations.
In addition, there are no sensitive receptors (e.g., schools or hospitals) located in the vicinity of the project.
Therefore, no impact is assessed.
e) No Impact. The construction of the proposed project could generate fumes_ from the operation of construction
equipment, which may be considered objectionable by some people. Such exposure would be short-term or
transient. In addition, the number of people exposed to such transient impacts is not considered substantial.
Therefore, no impact is assessed.
IV. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES -Would the project:
a) Have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or
through habitat modifications, on any species
identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status
species in local or regional plans, ·policies,. -or
regulations, or by California J?epartment of Fish ,11nd •
Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? • •
b) Have a substaniial adverse effect on any riparian,
aquatic or wetland habitat or other sensitive natural
community identified in local or regional plans,
policies, or regulations or by California Department
of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service?
c) Have a substantial adverse effect on federally
protected wetlands as defined by Section 404 of the
Clean Water Act (including but not limited to marsh,
vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct removal,
filling, hydrological interruption, or other means?
d) Interfere substantially with the movement of any
native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species
or with established native resident or migratory
wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native
wildlife nursery sites?,
e) Conflict with any local policies or ordinances
protecting biological resources, such as a tree
preservation policy or ordinance?
f) Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat
Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation
Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state
habitat conservation plan?

a, b, c, & t) No Impact. The City of Carlsbad has an adopted Habitat Management Plan (HMP), which is a
comprehensive, citywide, program to identify how the City, in cooperation with the federal and state wildlife
agencies, can preserve the diversity of habitat and protect sensitive biological resources within the City while
allowing for additional development consistent with the City's General Plan and its Growth Management Plan. In
so doing, the Plan is intended to lead to citywide permits and authorization for the incidental take of sensitive
species in conjunction with private development projects, public projects, and other activities, which are consistent
10 Rev. 12/l 3/07
( (
Project Number(s): cUP 07-03/CDP 07-07/MS 07-02
Project Name: Carlsbad Paseo
with the Plan. As discussed in the subsequent passages, the project does not conflict with any of the provisions of
theHMP.
The 6.96-acre project site is an undeveloped, infill parcel occurring within a densely urbanized area. The site has
been rough-graded and is surrounded by a vehicle storage site for Ken Grody Ford to the north, a stand alone
restaurant (King's Fish House) to the south, Carlsbad Premium Outlets to the east, and Interstate 5 to the west.
According to the City of Carlsbad's HMP, the site is identified as a Development Area, and is not located adjacent
to or near any Standards Area or Existing/Proposed Hardline Preserve Areas.
A Preliminary Vegetation Assessment was prepared for the project site by Planning Systems, Inc. on May 16, 2007,
and according to the report, the site supports 6.29-acres of Annual (Non-Native) Grassland (NNG), 0.55-acres of
Exotic Species, and 0. 12-acres of Developed Lands. The project will permanently impact 6.29 acres of the NNG,
and 0.55 acres of Exotic Species. The 0.12-acres of developed land, which is an existing concrete-lined trapezoidal-
shaped drainage channel, will be temporarily impacted during the construction/conversion to an underground box-
culvert. Pursuant to the HMP, the developer will be conditioned as part of the project to pay in-lieu fees for impacts
to 6.29-acres ofNNO (Group-E Habitat) and 0.55-acres ofExotic species (Group-F Habitat).
Sensitive Plant Species
According to the preliminary vegetation assessment, no sensitive plant species listed by the United States Fish &
Wildlife Service (USFWS), California Department of Fish & Game (CDFG), or the HMP were observed onsite. A
listing of the sensitive plant species with' a "potential for ·occtrrrence" on the property was prepared. The Del Mar
Mesa Sand Aster (Corethrogyne filaginifolia var. linifolia) is the only species listed in the report as having a high
potential for occurrence onsite. The site was intensively searched and none were determined to be present. The
Nuttal's Scrub Oak (Quercus dumosa) and Engelmann Oak (Quercus enge/manni) were reported as having a
mod_erate to high potential of occurrence onsite, however none were observed. The majority of other sensitive ·plant
species listed in the report are identified as having a low potential of occurrence onsite. The report cites several
factors, which severely limit the likelihood of any sensitive plant species from occurring onsite (i.e., no native
habitat and very few individual native plants occur onsite; the marina soils occurring onsite are not likely to support
sensitive species; the parcel has been rough graded in the past; and the property is regularly maintained, including all
Annual Grasslands). Therefore, no impact to sensitive plant species is assessed.
Sensitive Wildlife Species
According to the preliminary vegetation assessment, an investigation of sensitive animal species occurring onsite
was not necessary given the highly disturbed nature of the site and lack of any existing natural habitat. No listed or
sensitive animal species are anticipated to nest or exist on the site. Therefore, no impact to sensitive wildlife species
is assessed.
Sensitive Wetland Habitat/Species
A Wetland Delineation Study for the project was prepared by Planning Systems, Inc. on April 2, 2008. The
objective of the delineation study was to determine the boundaries of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)
Section 404 jurisdictional wetlands and California Department of Fish & Game (CDFG) Section 1601-1603
jurisdictional wetlands on the proposed project site. Potential jurisdictional areas for this project consist of a single
concrete-lined trapezoidal-shaped drainage channel of255 feet in length bisecting the property towards its southern
boundary. Project improvements include replacement of the open drainage channel with an underground concrete
box culvert. The wetland delineation study analyzed wetland vegetation, wetland hydrology, and hydric soils.
According to the report, no wetland habitat exists on or adjacent to the site; the entire drainage channel (0.053 acres)
is classified as non-wetland waters of the United States given the scarcity of wetland indicator species, the lack of
wetland hydrology, and the absence of hydric soils; and due to the urbanized nature of the drainage channel, and
most particularly the concrete lining in the absence of a natural channel, the CDFG does not have jurisdictional areas
on this site,
However, implementation of the proposed project will result in a temporary impact to 0.053-acres of USACE
jurisdictional non-wetland waters of the United States d_ue to the removal of the concrete-lined drainage channel.
11 Rev. 12/13/07
(-
Project Number(s): t,;(}P 07-03/CDP 07-07/MS 0.7-02
Project Name: Carlsbad Paseo
The impact is considered temporary because the channel will be replaced by an underground box-culvert, which will
transfer upstream drainage across the property for discharge at the same location as the channel being replaced by
the box-culvert.
The temporary impact of 0.053-acres of non-wetland. waters of the United States will require issuance of a Clean
Water Act Section 404 Nationwide Permit. The proposal to replace a currently serviceable drainage structure with
an underground box-culvert, which fulfills the same purpose, is authorized pursuant to NWP 39, which permits the
discharge of dredge or fill material into non-tidal waters of the United States for the construction or expansion of
residential, commercial, and institutional building foundation and attendant features that are necessary for the use
and maintenance of the structures, provided it impacts less than 300 linear feet or ½ acre of waters of the United
States.
The project does not require a Streambed Authorization Permit pursuant to CDFG Code Section 1603, in that no
impacts to a natural creek or channel are associated with the project.
A Section 401 water quality certificate (or waiver) will be required from the California Regional Water Quality
Control Board to permit the replacement of the concrete-lined channel with an underground box-culvert.
The project will be conditioned to consult with the above agencies for each of the associated permits.
d) No Impact. Construction of the proposed project is not expected to impede local wildlife movement or migratory
fish or wildlife movement. The subject she is not located within any of the HMP Core Focus Planning Areas, nor is
the site adjacent to or near any Standards Area or Existing/Proposed Hardline Preserve Areas. Therefore, no impact
is assessed.
e) No Impact. The City of Carlsbad has no adopted tree preservation policy or ordinance which would affect the
subject project. The subject project will not impact trees or other biological resources protected by such policy or
ordinance except as otherwise described above. No trees exist on the subject site, therefore no impact is assessed.

a-d) No Impact. There are no historical resources, archeological resources, paleontological resources, or human
remains known, or are expected to, exist on site. The project site is considered to be in a highly disturbed state
surrounded by urban development and the Interstate-5 freeway. Prior to the site being parceled and zoned for
development, the site was encumbered by the old road alignment for Paseo del No~e and several large underground

Project Name: Carlsbad Paseo
utilities that spanned the entire project site. The old roadway and underground utilities have since been excavated
and removed. Paseo del Norte has been located to its existing alignment, and the subject parcel created as a result.
Despite extensive excavation in the past for the development and removal of the old roadway and underground
utilities, the project site has also been annually disked and/or mowed for fire and weed control. Furthermore, with
the development of the Carlsbad Premium Outlets located across the street, additional excavation occurred on site
for the installation of a 255 ft. long concrete-lined trapezoidal-shaped drainage channel (approximately IO ft. wide
by 5 ft. deep). This channel bisects the project site near its southern boundary and drains towards another concrete
lined drainage channel, which runs parallel with the northbound lane of the 1-5 freeway in Caltrans right-of-way.
The project is proposing to replace the existing open channel . with a box-culvert; however, some offsite
improvements are necessary within Caltrans' right-of-way to connect these two drainages improvements. The area
of offsite improvements within the Caltrans right-of-way will also occur within an area that has experienced
previous excavation for the construction of existing drainage improvements. Given the highly disturbed state of the
site, and disturbed nature of the area within Caltrans' right-of-way, no impact to historical, archeological, or
paleontological resources is assessed.
VI. GEOLOGY AND SOILS -Would the project:
a) Expose people or structures to potential substa~tial
adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury or
death involving:
i. Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as
delineated on the most recent Alquist-Priolo
Earthquake Fault Zoning Map issued by the
State Geologist for the area or based on other
substantial evidence of a known fault? Refer to
Division of Mines and Geology Special
Publication 42.
ii. Strong seismic ground shaking?
iii. Seismic-related ground failure, including
liquefaction?
iv. Landslides?
b) Result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of
topsoil?
c) Be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable,
or that would become unstable as a result of the
project, and potentially result in on-or off-site
landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction,
or collapse?
d) Be located on expansive soils, as defined in Table 18
-1-B of the Uniform Building Code (1997), creating
substantial risks to life or property?
e) Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the
use of septic tanks or alternative wastewater disposal
systems where sewers are not available for the
disposal of wastewater?

a.i.) No Impact. There are no Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault zones within the City of Carlsbad and there is no
other evidence of active or potentially active faults within the City. Therefore, no impact is assessed.
a.ii.) Less Than Significant Impact. A Geotechnical Engineering Investigation Report of the site was prepared by
Testing Engineers San Diego, Inc. on September 26, 2006 (Contract No. 148028). According to the report, the most
significant hazard at the site is considered to be shaking caused by an earthquake occurring on a nearby or distant
active fault. The site is located in a seismically active area, as is the majority of Southern California. Active faults
with.in a 62-mile radius of the site include the Rose Canyon, Coronado Bank, Elsinore-Julian, Newport-Englewood
(offshore segment), Elsinore-Coyote Mountain, and Earthquake Valley. Although the site could be subjected to
strong ground shaking in the event of an earthquake, this hazard is common in Southern California. Standard design
conformance with the California Building Code (CBC), along with the recommendations contained within the
referenced geotechnical report will reduce the effects of ground shaking to a level that is considered less than
signtficant.
a.iii.) Less Than Significant Impact. According to the geotechnical report, the structural site areas are underlain
predominately by a very dense formational bedrock, and medium dense to dense artificial fills, which are not
considered to be susceptible. to liquefaction; the formational and artificial fill materials encountered in exploratory
test borings at the foundation levels of the structural pads are not in the loose to medium-dense category typically
associated with seismic settlement; and the site is not located in an area of known ground subsidence due to the
withdrawal of subsurface fluids. Therefore, the· potential .. for liquefaction and associated ground deformation
occurring beneath the structural site area is considered to be low, seismic settlement of unsaturated deposits is not
anticipated to affect the proposed structures, and the· potential for subsidence occurring at the site due to the
withdrawal of oil, gas, or water is considered to be remote.
a.iv.) No Impact. According to the geotechnical report, the project site location has an existing ground eievation of
59 to 62 feet above mean sea level (AMSL), and is generally level with drainage relief to the west. Given the gently
sloping topography of the site, and the dense, moderately cemented or cohesive character of the formational
materials at shallow depths, the potential for both gross slope stability problems and lurching (earth movement at
right angles to cliff or steep slopes during ground shaking) are considered to be low. No landslides are known to
exist on or near the s·ite, and the site is not located in the path of any known landslides. Therefore, no impact is
assessed. •
b) Less Than Significant Impact. The subject property is an undeveloped parcel. During the finish grading, the
exposure of soils would lead to an increased chance for the erosion of soils from the site. Such grading will follow
best management practices for the control of erosion, such as straw bale or sandbag barriers, silt fences, slope
roughening, and outlet protection in exposed areas. Finished grades will be promptly hydroseeded or otherwise
protected as required per the adopted City Grading Ordinance. If necessary, temporary slope cover such as jute
matting or mulch will be applied to newly graded slopes to reduce the impact to soil erosion or the loss of topsoil to
a level of less than significant.
c) No Impact. According to the geotechnical report, the site is not located on a geologic unit or soil that is
considered to be unstable, or that would become unstable as a result of the project. Therefore, no impact is assessed.
d) No Impact. According to the geotechnical report, laboratory test results of the soils examined from the site had
an expansion index of 21, which has an associated expansion potential considered to be low. The project will not
subject life or property to substantial risk as a result of expansive soils. Therefore, no impact is assessed.
e) No Impact. The proposed project does not propose the use of septic tanks, but instead will utilize the public
sewer system. There will be no impacts involving soils, which support the use of septic tanks or alternative
wastewater disposal systems. Therefore, no impact is assessed.

a-b) Less Than Significant Impact. The project consists of grading operation and construction activity for the
development of a two-story retail center and two stand alone restaurants. During the construction phase of the
proposed project, construction equipment and materials that are typically associated with land development (i.e.
petroleum products, paint, oils and solvents) will be transported and used onsite. Upon completion of project
construction, some use of hazardous cleaning products on the site may occur. Other than during this construction
phase, the project will not routinely utilize hazardous substances or materials. The site currently displays no
evidence of chemical surface staining, or hazardous materials/waste and/or petroleum contamination. All transport,
handling, use, and disposal of any cleaning substances will comply with all federal, state, and local laws regulating
15 Rev. 12/13/0~
( ('.

the management and use of such materials. No extraordinary risk of accidental explosion or the release of hazardous
substances is anticipated with construction, development, and implementation or operation of the proposed project.
It is concluded that the routine amount of hazardous materials utilized during the construction period is not
significant, and therefore impacts to the public or the environment through the routine transport, use, or disposal of
hazardous materials is considered to be less that significant.
c) No Impact. The nearest schools to the subject site are Pacific Rim Elementary located approximately 1.3 miles
to the southeast, and Kelly Elementary located approximately 1.6 miles to the northe~st. No existing or proposed
schools are located within one-quarter mile of the project. Therefore, no impact is assessed.
d) No Impact. The subject property is not included on any lists or registry of sites containing hazardous materials,
and has no known previous _use or history that involved the use or storage of hazardous materials. Therefore, no
impact is assessed.
e-t) No Impact. The subject site is located approximately 1.9 miles west of the McClellan-Palomar Airport runway
and approximately 270 feet below the surface of the runway. The project site is located within the Airport Influence
Area as identified in the Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP) for the McClellan-Palomar Airport. The
proposed retail center and restaurant uses fall within Land Use Category No. 8 of the ALUCP Noise/Land Use
Compatibility Matrix (Commercial-Retail, Shopping Centers, Restaurants, and Movie Theaters). According to the
ALUCP, the southern half of the project site is located withi.n the 60 CNEL noise contour with the northern half
located just outside. The types of uses proposed are consi_dered compatible with the aircraft noise exposure at the
site. Therefore, no impact is assessed. •• • •
g-h) No Impact. The project will not impair the implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted
emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan, nor is the project located in an area that will expose people
or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving wildland fires. Therefore, no impact is assessed.

project:
a) Violate any water quality standards or waste
discharge requirements?
b) Substantially -deplete groundwater supplies or
interfere substantially with ground water recharge
such that there would be a net deficit in aquifer
volume or a lowering of the local ground water table
level (i.e., the production rate of pre-existing nearby
wells would drop to a level which would not support
existing land uses or planned uses for which permits
have been granted)?
c) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the

a) Less Than Significant Impact. Federal, state and local agencies have established goals and objectives for storm
water quality in the region. The proposed project prior to the start of construction, will comply with all federal, state
and local permits including the Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP) required under the County of San Diego
Watershed Protection, Storm Water Management, and Discharge Control Ordinance (WPO) (Section 67.871), the
City of Carlsbad's Standard Urban Storm Water Management Plan (SUSMP), and the National Pollution Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) from the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB). The project will develop
and implement specific erosion control and best management practices to protect downstream water quality. These
plans will ensure that acceptable water quality standards will be maintained both during construction as well as post-
development.
b) Less Than Significant Impact. The project does not propose to directly draw any groundwater; instead it will be
served via existing public water distribution lines within the public right-of-way adjacent to the site. Existing water
lines will adequately serve the project's water demands. Rainwater infiltration is needed to provide adequate
groundwater recharge. Therefore, the project incorporates Low Impact Development (LID) design features, which
promote infiltration of storm water run-off by proposing to minimize impervious surface areas, directing run-off to
landscape areas, and proposing a detention/infiltration "Stonn Chamber" system, which reduces the amount of
discharge and velocity of run-off to pre-development levels, and serves as a treatment BMP to attain water quality
objectives. The project will not significantly deplete· groundwater supplies or quality. Therefore, impacts are
considered to be less than significant.
c) No Impact. There are no streams or _rivers. within or adjacent.to the site. Therefore, no impact is assessed. . ,. ..
d) Less Than Significant Impact. A Preliminary Hydrology Report dated March 17, 2008, and a Preliminary
Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP) dated March 19, 2008, was prepared for the project by Aquaterra
Engineering Inc. According to the reports, the proposed project does not substantially alter the existing drainage
pattern of the site. The amount of discharge and velocity of run-off will not significantly exceed pre-development
levels, and therefore will not cause substantial erosion or flooding. Project grading is designed to maintain the
existing drainage pattern. The project incorporates LID design features, which promote infiltration of storm water
run-off by proposing to minimize impervious surface areas, directing run-off to landscape areas, and proposing a
detention/infiltration ''Stonn Chamber" system, which reduces the amount of discharge and velocity of run-off to
pre-development levels, and serves as a treatment BMP to attain water quality objectives.
e) Less Than Significant Impact. According to the Preliminary Hydrology Report dated March 17, 2008, and the
Preliminary Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP) dated March 19, 2008, which was prepared for the project by
Aquaterra Engineering Inc., the project will not significantly impact the existing or planned storm water systems,
nor will the total post development run-off significantly exceed the pre-development levels. The project is
proposing a detention/infiltration "Storm Chamber" system, which reduces the amount of discharge and velocity of
run-off to pre-development levels, and serves as a treatment BMP to attain water quality objectives.
I) Less Than Significant Impact. The project will not substantially degrade the water quality as demonstrated in
the Preliminary Hydrology Report dated March 17, 2008, and the Preliminary Storm Water Management Plan

incorporates LID design features, which promote infiltration of storm water run-off by proposing to minimize
impervious surface areas, directing run-off to landscape areas, and proposing a detention/infiltration "Storm
Chamber" system, whkh reduces the amount of discharge and velocity of run-off to pre-development _levels, and
serves as a treatment BMP to attain water quality objectives. •
g-j) No Impact. The project site is not located within a 100-year flood hazard area according to the Flood Insurance
Rate Map, Map No. 06073C1027F. June 19, 1997; and according to the City of Carlsbad Geotechnical Hazards
Analysis and Mapping Study, Catastrophic Dam Failure Inundation, Tsunami and Seiche Hazard Zone Maps,
September 1992, the project site is not located within a·n area affected by tsunami, seiche, or mudflow, nor is the site
located within a Catastrophic Dam Failure Inundation Area. Therefore, no impact is assessed.
k) Less Than Significant Impact. The project does not significantly increase erosion into receiving surface waters
as demonstrated in the Preliminary Hydrology Report dated March 17, 2008, and the Preliminary Storm Water
Management Plan (SWMP) dated March 19, 2008, that were prepared for the project by Aquaterra Engineering Inc.

According to these reports, the amount of discharge and velocity of run-off will not significantly exceed pre-
development levels, and therefore will not cause substantial erosion into receiving surface waters. The project
incorporates LID design features, which promote infiltration of storm water run-off by proposing to minimize
impervious surface areas, directing run-off to landscape areas, and proposing a detention/infiltration "Storm
Chamber" system, which reduces the amount of discharge and velocity of run~off to pre-development levels, and
serves as a treatment BMP to attain water quality objectives. In addition, the project will be required to comply with
the current NPDES requirements. A Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) will be required during
construction phase to prevent short-term water quality impacts during or immediately after construction when
graded areas are exposed to rain and storm water run-off.
1-p) Less Than Significant Impact. Storm water run-off drains from the site into the Agua Hedionda Lagoon and
ultimately the Pacific Ocean. • According to the California 2006 Clean Water Act Section 303(d) list published by
the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board, Agua Hedionda Lagoon and the Pacific Ocean are listed as
impaired water bodies by bacteria indicators. To address water quality of the project, BMP's will be implemented
during construction and post construction phases, which specifically address bacteria and will also address
sedimentation/siltation. In addition, other pollutants typically as_sociated with the type of proposed development
(i.e., nutrients from fertilizers, trash and debris, oxygen demanding substances, oil and grease from paved areas, and
pesticides from landscaping) will be addressed through BMP's. As demonstrated in the project's Preliminary Storm
Water Management Plan (SWMP). by Aquaterra Engineering Inc., dated March 19, 2008, the project will not
significantly increase pollutant discharges and will not alter th!' water quality of the receiving surface waters, and the
amount of discharge and velocity of run-off will not significantly exceed pre-development levels. The project is
incorporating LID design features, which promote infiltration of storm water run-off by proposing to minimize
impervious surface areas, directing run-off" to landscape areas, and proposing a detention/infiltration "Storm

serves as a treatment BMP to attain water quality objectives. •
q) Less Than Significant Impact. The project will not result in the exceedance of applicable surface or
groundwater receiving water quality objectives or degradation of beneficial uses as demonstrated in the Preliminary
Hydrology Report dated March 17, 2008, and the Preliminary Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP) dated March
19, 2008, which were-prepared for the project by Aquaterra Engineering Inc. The project incorporates LID design

a) Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated. An acoustical analysis was prepared for the proposed
project by Urban Crossroads on December 11, 2007 (JN:05471-03) to determine compatibility with the City of
Carlsbad's Noise Guidelines Manual. The report identifies vehicle noise from Interstate 5 and Paseo del Norte as
the primary noise source in the vicinity of the project site. Building facade noise levels were found to be
approximately 75 dBA or less at all buildings on the project site. The design of the buildings will be required to
provide a minimum noise reduction of20 dBA CNEL in order to comply with the City's interior Leg(h) standard of
55 dBA CNEL. According to the report, new construction will generally produce a "windows closed" noise
reduction ranging from 25 dBA to 30 dBA. Therefore, with typical building construction, including a means of
mechanical ventilation for all buildings onsite, the project will comply with the City of Carlsbad's 55 dBA CNEL
interior noise standard for commercial uses. A mitigation measure has been applied to the project requiring
mechanical ventilation and a supplemental acoustical analysis ..
The acoustical analysis also analyzed exterior noise impacts as they relate to the outdoor dining area proposed along
the north side of Restaurant-A (P.F. Chang's). In order to block the transmission path of the roadway noise to the
outdoor dining area, a 4-foot high noise barrier is conditioned to be constructed along the northern edge of the
dining area, which will mitigate noise levels to a "conditionally acceptable" noise level of between 68.6 dBA CNEL
and 70.2 dBA CNEL. According to the report, the noise barrier may be constructed of masonry block; stucco
veneer over wood framing (or foam core), or I inch thick tongue and groove wood of sufficient weight per square
foot; glass {¼-inch thick), or other transparent material with sufficient weight per square foot; earthen berm; or any
combination of these materials. Restaurant-A is designed wit~ a 4-foot high wall consisting of a combination of¼-
inch thick tempered glass mounted on top of a,masonry block vvall with a stucco exterior finish. With the inclusion
of a 4-foot high noise barrier, the exterior noise levels at-the outdoor dining area will fall between the City of
Carlsbad's "normally acceptable" policy goai of 65 dBA CNEL and the "conditionally acceptable" 75 dBA CNEL
goal for exterior areas. A mitigation measure requiring a noise barrier around the outdoor dining area ofRestaurant-
A has been applied to the project. :
b & d) Less Than Significant Impact. The anticipated grading operation associated with the proposed project
will result in a temporary and minor increase in groundborne vibration and ambient noise levels. Following the
conclusion of grading, ambient noise level and vibrations are expected to return to pre-existing levels:
c) No Impact. The project is. located on an infill lot surrounding by existing urban development and the Interstate 5
freeway. The proposed commercial retail center and restaurants are not expected to increase the ambient noise
levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without_the project. Therefore, no impact is assessed.
e-t) No Impact. The subject site is located approximately 1.9 miles west of the McClellan-Palomar Airport runway
and approximately 270 feet below the surface of the runway. The project site is located within the Airport Influence
Area as identified in the Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP) for the McClellan-Palomar Airport. The
proposed retail center and restaurant uses fall into Land Use Category No. 8 of the ALUCP Noise/Land Use
Compatibility Matrix (Commercial-Retail, Shopping Centers, Restaurants, and Movie Theaters). According to the
ALUCP, the southern half of the project site is located within the 60 CNEL noise contour with the northern half
located just outside. The types of uses proposed with the project are considered "compatible" according to the
ALUCP with the aircraft noise exposure at the site. Therefore, no impact is assessed.

a-c)·No Impact. The proposed project is located on an infill site surrounded by vehicle storage for Ken Grody Ford
to the north, a stand alone restaurant (King's Fish House) to the south, Carlsbad Premium Outlets to the east, and
Interstate 5 to the west. The area surrounding the propose9 development is designated for Travel/Recreation
Commercial {T-R) and Regional Co.mrnerciai (R) General -Plan land uses. The intensity of the proposed
development is consistent with the surrounding land uses and is also consistent with the Travel/Recreation
Commercial (T-R) General Plan Land Use designation for the site. The project is anticipated to capture the
existing residential community along with servicing the retail needs of tourists visiting the area. The project will not
induce substantial gro:wth in area, thereby necessitating the need for new housing, the extension of roads or· other
infrastructure; nor will it displace substantial numbers of people or existing housing, necessitating the construction
of replacement housing elsewhere. Therefore, no impact is assessed.

a.i.-a.v.) No Impact. The proposed Carlsbad Paseo project will not effect the provision and/or availability of public
facilities (i.e., fire protection, police protection, schools, parks, etc.). The proposed project shall be subject to the
conditions and facility service level requirements within the Local Facilities Management Plan for Zone 3, therefore
no significant public service impacts will occur.
XIV, RECREATION
a) Would the project increase the use of existing
neighborhood and regional parks or other
recreational facilities such that substantial physical
deterioration of the facility would occur or be
accelerated?

a-b) No Impact. The proposed project is not considered a use that would increase the use of existing neighborhood
and regional parks, nor does the project include recreational' facilities or require the construction or expansion of
recreational facilities, which might have an adverse physical effect on the environment. Therefore, no impact is
assessed.
XV. TRANSPORTATION/fRAFFIC -Would the project:
a) Cause an increase in traffic, which is substantial in
relation to the existing traffic load and capacity of the
street system (i.e., result in a substantial increase in
either the number of vehicle trips; the volume to
capacity ratio on roads, or congestion at
intersections)?
b) Exceed, either individually or cumulatively, a level
of service standard established by the county
congestion management agency for designated roads
or highways? .
c) Result in a change in air traffic patterns, including
either an increase in traffic levels or a change in
location that results in substantial safety risks?
d) Substantially increase hazards due to a design feature
(e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or
incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment)?
e) Result in inadequate emergency access?

the project by Darnell & Associates, Inc., dated March 2008. The proposed project would generate 3,752 Average
Daily Trips (ADT), 71 AM peak hour trips and 300 PM peak hour trips. This traffic will utilize the following key
roadways: Cannon Road, Palomar Airport Road, Paseo del Norte, and Interstate_ 5 (1-5). Existing traffic, design
capacity(ies), project traffic, and percent of the existing traffic volume and the design capacity respectively on these
arterials are listed in the table below:

According to SANTEC/ITE Guidelines for Traffic Impact Studies in the San Diego Region, LOS D is an acceptable
level of service for roadways and intersections. Traffic impacts on a roadway segment or intersection is considered
significant, and mitigation must be provided, if one of the following criteria is met:
1. The addition .of trips generated by the proposed project results in a change of Level of Service (LOS) from
an acceptable LOS to unacceptable LOS.
2. When the intersection or roadway segment is operating at an acceptable LOS and the addition of the
proposed project traffic results in a change in volume to capacity ratio of more than 2% (0.02), or results in
an increase in delay of more than 2.0 seconds at a deficient intersection.
For freeway segments, an increase of more than 0.01 in volume to capacity ratio is considered to be significant.
Direct Impacts:
Under an existing plus project condition, the traffic impact analysis indicates that the proposed project -has no
significant direct impacts to key roadway segments and/or intersections within the vicinity of the project, and
furthermore all affected roadway segments will operate at a LOS A (see Table 11, Pg. 19).
For the analyzed segments of the 1-5 freeway (Tamarack Avenue to Cannon Road, Cannon Road to Palomar Airport
Road, and Palomar Airport Road to Poinsettia Lane), the increases in volume to capacity ratio are within the
allowable 0.0 l per SANTEC/ITE guidelines. All analyzed intersections will continue to operate at an acceptable
LOS D or better.

Near Term Impacts:
Under a near term cumulative plus project condition, the traffic impact analysis indicates that the proposed project
will have cumulative indirect impacts at the following intersections:
• Palomar Airport Road/Paseo def Norte,
• Paseo de) Norte/Carlsbad Company Stores Driveway,
• Eastbound Left Tum Queue at Palomar Airport Road/Paseo def Norte, and
• The Southbound I-5/Westbound Palomar Airport Road Ramp Meter
To reduce cumulative indirect impacts at the intersections listed above, the following mitigation is required:
Palomar Airport Road/Paseo del Norte:
To mitigate impacts to the Palomar Airport Road/Paseo def Norte intersection, the developer will be required to pay
a Traffic Impact Fee (TIF) based on Section 18.42 of the City of Carlsbad Municipal Code prior to issuance of a
building permit. • • •
The TIF program identifies the future addition of a westbound through lane at the Palomar Airport Road/Paseo del
Norte intersection. With this improvement, the Palomar Airport Road/Paseo def Norte intersection will operate at
LOS D under the near term cumulative. plus project co_nd!tions. The TIF improvements to the Palomar Airport
Road/Paseo del Norte intersection will· also result in improvements in delay at the Palomar Airport Road/I-5
northbound ramp intersection.
Paseo del Norte/Carlsbad Company Stores Driveway:
To mitigate impacts to the Paseo del Norte/Carlsbad Company Stores Driveway intersection, the developer will be
required to execute a Traffic Signal Subdivision Improvement Agreement with the City of Carlsbad, to design and
install and post appropriate security as provided by Jaw, a traffic signal constructed to the satisfaction of the City
Engineer.
Improvements will consist of designing and constructing a new fully actuated traffic signal, including all
appurtenances and traffic signal interconnect conduit and cable, at the intersection of Paseo def Norte, the Carlsbad
Company Store Driveway and the main entryway to the project. The developer acknowledges the necessity of this
signal is to serve only this project, and as such the developer will bear all costs associated with the design and
construction of this signal if warrants are met. The signal shall be interconnected with adjacent signals to facilitate
signal coordination.
The developer will be required to post security for the design and construction of said improvements, and the traffic
signal will only be installed when written approval is received by the City Engineer. The Agreement will be kept in
force and security kept valid for a period of five (5) years after the last building permit has been issued within this
development.
Eastbound Left Turn Queue at Palomar Airport Road/ Paseo del Norte:
The queuing analysis for the eastbound left turn queue at the Palomar Airport Road/Paseo del Norte intersection
found that the 951n_percentile queue is projected to exceed the 250 feet of available storage during the PM peak hour
under near term cumulative without project condition. The proposed project will add traffic to this movement.
Therefore, prior to recordation of the parcel map, the developer will be required to pay a fair-share contribution for
the lengthening of the eastbound to northbound left turn pocket at the intersection of Palomar Airport Road and
Paseo del Norte, based on a pro-rata share, all of which is to the satisfaction of the City Engineer.
The Southbound 1-5/Westbound Palomar Airport Road Ramp Meter:
Under a near term cumulative plus project condition, delay at the southbound I-5/westbound Palomar Airport Road
ramp meter is projected to increase above the two minute increase that is allowed by SANTEC/ITE standards.

Therefore, an increase in ramp meter flow rate would be required. Caltrans is responsible for controlling ramp meter
flow rate. As such, an increase in ramp meter flow rate will only be implemented if Caltrans determines that traffic
volumes warrant it. The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) reviewed the above referenced traffic
study, and in a letter dated March 28, 2008 found the proposed mitigation to be acceptable,
Future Impacts:
Per SANTEC/ITE guidelines, under a year 2030 scenario, the project will contribute to the future impacts at the
following locations:
• Paseo Del Norte/Carlsbad Company Stores Driveway,
• Northbound 1-5/Cannon Road Ramp Meter, and
• Southbound 1-5/Westbound Palornar Airport Road Ramp Meters
Paseo Del Norte/Carlsbad Company Stores Driveway:
To mitigate impacts to the Paseo de! Norte/Carlsbad Company Stores Driveway intersection, the developer will be
required to execute a Traffic Signal Subdivision Improvement Agreement with the City of Carlsbad, to design and
install and post appropriate security as provided by law, a traffic signal constructed to the satisfaction of the City
Engineer.
Improvements will consist of designing and constructing· a new fully actuated traffic signal, including all

signal is to serve only this project, and as such the developer will bear all costs associated with the ·design and
construction of this signal if warrants are met. The signal shall be interconnected with adjacent signals to facilitate
signal coordination.
The developer will be required to post security in accordance with C.M.C. Section 20.16.070 for the design and
construction of said fmprovements, and the traffic signal will only be installed when written approval is received by
the City Engineer. The Agreement will be kept in force and security kept valid for a period of five (5) years after the
last building permit has been issued within this development.

Meters:
Under the year 2030 scenario, delay at both the northbound I-5/Cannon Road and the Westbound Palomar Airport
Road ramp meters are projected to increase above the two minute increase that is allowed by SANTEC/ITE
standards. Therefore, an increase in ramp meter flow rate would be required. Caltrans is responsible for controlling
ramp meter flow rate. As such, an increase in ramp meter flow rate will only be implemented if Caltrans determines
that traffic volumes warrant it. The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) reviewed the above
referenced traffic study, and in a letter dated March 28, 2008 found the proposed mitigation to be acceptable.
b) Less Than Significant Impact. SANDAG acting as the County Congestion Management Agency has
designated three roads (Rancho Santa Fe Rd., El Camino Real and Palomar Airport Rd.) and one highway segment
in Carlsbad as part of the regional circulation system. The existing LOS on these designated roads and highway in
Carlsbad is: •
Rancho Santa Fe Road
El Camino Real
Palomar Airport Road
SR 78
LOS
"A-D"
"A-D"
"A-D"
"F'
. . .
The Congestion Management Program's '(CMP) acceptable -Level of Service (LOS) standard is "E", or LOS "F" if
that was the LOS in the 1990 base year (e.g., SR 78 in Carlsbad was LOS "F" in 1990). Accordingly, all designated
roads and highway 78 is currently operating at or better than the acceptable standard LOS.
Achievement of the· CMP acceptable Level of Service (LOS) "E" standard assumes implementation of the adopted
CMP strategies. Based on the design capacity(ies) of the designated roads and highway and implementation of the
CMP strategies, they will function at acceptable level(s) of service in the short-term and at build'out.
c) No Impact. The proposed project does not include any aviation components. The project is consistent with the
Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP) for the McClellan-Palomar Airport .. It would not, therefore, result in
a change of air traffic patterns or result in substantial safety risks. Therefore, no impact is assessed.
d) No Impact. All project circulation improvements will be designed and constructed to City standards; and,
therefore, would not result in design hazards. The proposed project is consistent with the City's general plan and
zoning. Therefore, it would not increase hazards due to an incompatible use. Therefore, no impact is assessed.
e) No Impact. The proposed project has been designed to satisfy the emergency requirements of the Fire and
Police Departments. Therefore, no impact is assessed.
t) No Impact. The proposed project is not requesting a parking variance. Additionally, the project would comply
with the City's parking requirements to ensure an adequate parking supply. Therefore, no impact is assessed.
g) No Impact. The project is located on the west side of Paseo def Norte between Cannon Road to the north and
Palomar Airport Road to the south. The project is served by the North County Transit District (NCTD) with Bus
Rciute 321 serving Paseo del Norte. The project has been designed to include a new bus turnout along Paseo del
Norte and bicycle parking onsite. A condition of approval will be added to the project requiring secure bicycle racks
to be installed at each bicycle parking area within the project. Therefore, no impact is assess.ed.

a-g) No Impact. The proposed project will be required to comply with all Regional Water Quality Control Board
Requirements. In addition, the Zone 3 LFMP anticipated that the project site would be developed with
travel/recreation commercial uses and therefore wastewater treatment facilities were planned and designed to
accommodate this future use. All public facilities, including water facilities, wastewater trea~ent facilities and
drainage facilities, have been planned and designed to accommodate the growth projections for the City at build-out.
The project does not result in development that will require expansion or construction of new water
facilities/supplies, wastewater treatment or storm water drainage facilities. Therefore, no impact is assessed.

XVII. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE
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 anirrial
community, reduce the number or restrict the range
ofa 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 individualiy
limited, but cumulatively considerable? ("Cumula-
tively 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 huJl}an
beings, either direct~y or indirectly?

a) No Impact. The proposed project will not degrade the quality of the environment. The project site is considered
an infill site surrounded by urban development and the 1-5 freeway; it does not contain any fish or wildlife species;
is not identified by any habitat conservation plan as containing a protected, rare or endangered plant or animal
species; and does not contain any known historical, archeological, or paleontological resources. Therefore, the
project will not reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species; will not threaten to eliminate or reduce the number of
endangered plant and animal species; and will not result in the elimination of any important examples of California
history or prehistory.
b) Less Than Significant Impact. The San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) projects regional
growth for the greater San Diego area, and local General Plan Land Use policies are incorporated into SANDAG
projections. Based upon those projections, region-wide standards, including storm water quality control, air quality
standards, habitat conservation, congestion management standards, etc., are established to reduce the cumulative
impacts of development in the region. All of the City's development standards and regulations are consistent with
the region wide standards. The City's standards and regulations, including grading standards, water quality and
drainage standards, traffic standards, habitat and cultural resource protection regulations, and public facility
standards, ensure that development within the City will not result in a significant cumulatively considerable impact.
Ther~ are two regional issues that development within the City of Carlsbad has the potential to have a cumulatively
considerable impact on. Those issues are air quality and regional circulation. As described above, the project would
contribute to a cumulatively considerable potential net increase in emissions throughout the air basin. However, the
air quality would be essentially the same whether or not the development is implemented.
The County Congestion Management Ageney (CMA) has designated three roads (Rancho Santa Fe Rd., El Camino
Real and Palomar Airport Rd.) and two highway segments in Carlsbad as part of the regional circulation system.
The CMA had determined, based on the City's growth projections in the General Plan, that these designated
roadways will function at acceptable levels of service in the short-term and at build-out. The project is consistent
29 Rev. 12/13/07
(
Project Number(s): ~UP 07-03/CDP 07-07/MS 0.7-02
• Project Name: Carlsbad Paseo
with the City's growth projections, and therefore, the cumulative impacts from the project to the regional circulation
system are less than significant.
With regard to any other potential impacts associated with the project, City standards and regulations will ensure
that development of the site will not result in any significant cumulatively considerable impacts.
c) Less than Significant Impact. Based upon the fact that future development of the site will comply with all City
standards, the project will not result in any direct or indirect substantial adverse environmental effects on human
beings. However, the project site is located in an area where human beings are exposed to significant levels of noise
generated by traffic on the surrounding streets. As discussed above, any potential impacts from noise can be
mitigated to a level less than significant. Those mitigation measures will be incorporated as conditions of project
approval. Development of the site and structures will be required to comply with all applicable Federal, State,
Regional and City regulations, which will ensure that development of the site will not result in adverse impacts on
human beings, either directly or indirectly.
XVIII. EARLIER ANALYSES
Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuantto the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, one or
more effects have been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section
15063(c)(3)(D). In this case a discussion should identify the following on attached sheets:
a) Earlier analyses used .. Identify earlier analyses and state where they are available for review. .. .
b) Impacts adequately addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the
scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal. standards,
. and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the e:arlier
analysis.
c) Mitigation measures. For effects that are "Less Than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated,"
describe the mitigation measures, which were incorporated or refined from the earlier document
anct"the extent to which they address site-specific conditions for the project.

Re: SCH#2008051076: CEQA Notice of Completion· Mitigated Negative Declaration-CUP 07-03/CDP 07 -07/MS 07-
02 for the Carlsbad Paseo Proiect San Diego County California
Dear Mr.Goff:
The Native American Heritage Commission is the state agency designated to protect California's Native
American Cultural Resources. The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires that any project that
causes a substantial adverse change in the significance of an.historical resource, that indudes archaeological
resources, is a 'significant effect' requiring ttie preparation or-arf Environmental Impact Report (EIR) per the California
Code of Regulations §15064.S(b)(c (CEQA guidelines). Section 15382 of the 2007 CEQA Guidelines defines a
significant impact on the environment as •a substantial, or potentially substantial, adverse change in any of physical
conditions within an area affected by the proposed project, induding ... objects of historic or aesthetic signi.ficance. •
In order to comply with this provision, the lead agency is required to assess whether the project will have an adyerse
impact on these resources within the 'area of potelltial effect (APE)', and if so, to mitigate that effect. To· adequately
assess the project-related impacts on historical r9!iour<;es, the .Commission recommends the following action:
•✓ Contact the appropriate California Historic Resources Information Center (CHRIS) for possible 'recorded sites' in
locations where the development will or might ~r .. _ Contact information for .the lnformatioo Center nearest you is
available from the·State Office of Historic Preservation (91'6/65~7278)/ http://www,ohp.parks.ca,qov. The.record
search will determine:·
• If a part or the· entire APE has been previously surveyed for cultural resources.
• If any known cultural resources have already been recorded in or adjacent to the APE.
• If the probability is low, moderate, or high that cultural resources are located in the APE.
• If a survey is required to determine whether previously unrecorded cultural resources are present ✓ If an archaeological inventory survey is required, the final stage is the preparation of a professional report detailing
. the findings and recommendations of the records search and field survey.
• The final report containing site forms, site significance, and mitigation measurers should be submitted
immediately to the planning department All information regarding site locations, Native American human
remains, and associated funerary objects should be in a separate confidential addendum, and not be made
available for pubic disclosure.
• The final written report should be submitted within 3 months after work has been completed to the appropriate
regional archaeological Information Center.
✓ Contact the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) for:
* A Sacred Lands File (SLF) search of the project area and information on tribal contacts in the project
vicinity that may have additional cultural resource information. Please provide this office with the following
citation format to assist with the Sacred Lands File search request USGS 7.5-minute quadrangle citation
with name township range and section: .
• The NAHC advises the use of Native American Monitors to ensure proper identification and care given cultural
resources that may be discovered. Tfi~recommends,thatcontact be-made with Native American
Contacts on the attached.list to get their input on potential project impact (APE). In some cases, the existence of
a Native American cultural resources may be known only to a local tribe(s) .
./ Lack of surface evidence of archeological resources does not preclude their subsurface existence.
• Lead agencies should include in their mitigation plan provisions for the identification and evaluation of
accidentally discovered archeological resources, per California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) § 15064.5 (f).

* CEQA Guidelines, Section 15064.5(d) requires the lead agency to work with the Native Americans identified
by this Commission if the initial Study identifies the presence or likely presence of Native American human
remains within the APE. CEQA Guidelines provide for agreements with Native American, identified by the .
NAHC, to assure the appropriate and dignified treatment of Native American human remains and any associated

until the county coroner or medical examiner can determine whether the remains are those of a Native American.
Note that §7052 of the Health & Safety Code states that disturbance of Native American cemeteries is a felony. ✓ Lead agencies should consider avoidance as defined jn §15370 of the California Code of Regulations CCEQA

Negative Declaration -CUP 07-:03/CDP 07-07/MS 07-02 for the Carlsbad
Paseo Project,.Sa.q Diego County?--Qalifornia.
Dear Mr. Singleton,
Thank you for your comments dated June 3, 2008 pertaining to the Mitigated Negative
Declaration (MND) that was prepared for the proposed Carlsbad Paseo project located in the
City of Carlsbad, California.
Upon receipt of your comments a Cultural Resources Study was prepared (dated June 2008) for
the project by Gallegos & Associates in accordance with the points of your letter, and the City of
Carlsbad Cultural Resources and California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines. A
field survey of the site was conducted on June 10, 2008, which included, Cami Mojado, a Native
American monitor representing the San Luis Rey Band of Mission Indians. A records search and
literature review was also conducted at the South Coastal Information Center at San Diego State
University on June 13, 2008. The literature review and field survey were negative, identifying
no previously recorded cultural resources, and no new cultural resources within the project area.
Given the absence of previously recorded cultural resources, high level of site disturbance, and
negative survey results, no additional cultural resource work is being recommended by the
cultural resources study. However, the cultural resources study does recommend monitoring of
brush clearing and initial grading activities by a qualified archeologist and a tribal monitor of the
San Luis Rey Band of Mission Indians to ensure that any unanticipated buried cultural resources
(i.e., artifact deposits, burials, hearths) are .evaluated in a timely and proper manner. The
Cultural Resources Study has been reviewed by the San Luis Rey Band of Mission Indians, and
in a letter prepared by California Indian Legal Services dated June 20, 2008, a formal pre-
excavation agreement and tribal monitoring by the San Luis Rey Band of Mission Indians has
been requested. To ensure the above, the following conditions have been added to the project:

1. Prior to commencement of grading, the developer shall enter into a pre-excavation
agreement with a representative of. the San Luis Rey Band of Mission Indians. The
purpose of this agreement will be to establish the requirement of tribal monitoring
and to formalize procedures for the treatment of Native American human remains
and burial, ceremonial, or cultural items that may be uncovered during any ground
disturbance activities.
2. Prior to issuance of a grading permit, the project developer shall retain the services
of a qualified archeologist to monitor all ground disturbing activities. The applicant
shall provide verification that a qualified archeologist has been retained, and
verification shall.be documented by a letter from the applicant and the archeologist
to the Planning Director. •
3. A qualified archeologist shall be .present at the pre-construction meeting to consult
with the grading and excavation contractors~ . . . ,
4. , In the event that any cultural resources, concentration of artifacts, or culturally
modified soil deposits are discovered within the project area at any time during
construction, the archeological monitor shall be empowered to suspend work in the
immediate area of the discovery until such time as a data recovery plan can be
developed and implemented.
5. The discovery of any resource shall be reported to the City of Carlsbad Planning
Director prior to any evaluation testing.
6. If any deposits are evaluated as significant under CEQA, mitigation may be
required as recommended by the qualified archeologist.
We appreciate your assistance in the planning of this project.

Carlsbad Paseo
Mitigated Negative Declaration
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) appreciated the opportunity to have participated
in the review of the Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) for the proposed Carlsbad Paseo to be
located adjacent to Interstate 5 (I-5) in Carlsbad. We have the following comments, reiterative of our
comment letter dated March 28, 2008, which addressed the Traffic Impact Study for the Carlsbad Paseo:
• Project should coordinate with Caltrans I-5 North Coast Corridor Project engineers to ensure
adequate right-of-way. Current preferred alternative build out of the 1-5 North Coast Corridor
project will require the following items:
1) A footing easement of 354 square meters.
2) A temporary construction easement of 819 square meters.
Please contact Fariborz Amiri at Caltrans District 11 Design Division for further
coordination, (619) 688-6963.
• All lighting (including reflected sunlight) within this project should be placed and/or shielded so
as not to be hazardous to vehicles ~aveling on 1-5.
• Mitigation for the impacts to the I-5 southbound on-ramp from westbound Palomar Airport Rd.
is acceptable.
• Mitigation for the impacts to the I-5 northbound on-ramp from westbound Cannon Rd. is
acceptable.
• Any work performed within Caltrans Right of Way (R/W) will require an encroachment permit.
Early coordination with Caltrans is strongly advised for all encroachment permits.

and recreational needs of tourists, residents, and employees of the surrounding
businesses and industrial centers.
That the requested uses are not detrimental to existing uses or to uses specifically
permitted in the zone in which the proposed use is to be located in that the prQject has
been designed to accommodate all parking on site, provides for adequate traffic
circulation, and incorporates all of the required development standards of the
CommerciaJ/Visitor-Serving Overlay Zone to ensure compatibility of the project
with the surrounding community.
That the site for the proposed conditional use is adequate in size and shape to
accommodate the yards, setbacks, walls, fences, parking, loading facilities, buffer areas,
landscaping and other development features prescribed in this code and required by the
planning director, planning commission or city council, in order to integrate the use with
other uses in the neighborhood, in that the project can be fit within the proposed
development area (6.96-acre project site) without the need for any development
standard modifications. Furthermore, the project complies with all of the required
development standards and parking requirements of the C-T Zone and the
CommerciaJ/Visitor-Serving Overlay Zone in that, adequate building and landscape
setbacks have been provided; the proposed buildings are designed with enclosed
service areas to conceal delivery areas, trash receptacles, and storage of supplies;
roof-mounted mechanical equipment is screened from public view, and project
access points for ingress and egress of the site are aligned with other surrounding
driveways to integrate the proposed uses with other uses in the neighborhood.
That the street system serving the proposed use is adequate to properly handle all traffic
generated by the proposed use, in that a traffic study was submitted for the
development proposal, which indicates that the proposed project would generate a
total of approximately 3,772 Average Daily Trips (ADT), with 96 AM peak hour
trips (58 inbound, 38 outbound), and 302 PM peak hour trips (178 inbound, 124
outbound). , In order to accommodate the level of traffic generated, the project
developer will be required to pay a fair-share contribution for the lengthening of the
eastbound to northbound left turn pocket at the intersection of Palomar Airport
Road and Paseo Del Norte; pay a Traffic Impact Fee (TIF) based on Section 18.42 of
the City of Carlsbad Municipal Code to mitigate impacts to the Palomar Airport
Road and Paseo Del Norte intersection; and execute a Traffic Signal Subdivision
Improvement Agreement to design and· install, and post appropriate security for the
construction of a future traffic signal at the intersection of Paseo Del Norte and the

system has been adequately designed to accommodate the flow of traffic without
creating conflicts between uses. The project provides the required number of
parking spaces to accommodate the proposed uses. The project will enter into a
private reciprocal access agreement with the adjacent uses to the south to ensure
cross project vehicular circulation. Pedestrian circulation is provided throughout
the project to interconnect the three parcels with each other and the public right-of-
way, and a separate pedestrian connection is provided from the proposed bus turn-
out to Parcel B to ensure safe and efficient pedestrian circulation.
That the building form, building colors, and building materials combine to provide an
architectural style of development that will add to the objective of high quality
architecture and building design within the overlay zone in that, the buildings have been
designed with an alternative architectural design, which is compatible with the
other surrounding buildings within the vicinity. The proposed buildings represent a
high quality of architectural design through their use of varied building forms, high
quality building materials, and decorative architectural elements. This combination
of architectural elements creates a project that is complementary to the surrounding
development, and adds to the objective of high quality architecture and building
design within the overlay zone.
That the project complies with all development and design criteria of the overlay zone in
that, the project meets or exceeds all of the development and design criteria of the
overlay zone including, but not limited to parking, screening, building height,
building setbacks, building design, and landscaping.
The Planning Commission finds that the project, as conditioned herein, is in conformance
with the Elements of the City's General Plan, based on the facts set forth in the staff
report dated July 16, 2008.
The project is consistent with the Citywide Facilities and Improvements Plan, the Local
Facilities Management Plan for Zone 3 and all City public facility policies and
ordinances. The project includes elements or has been conditioned to construct or
provide funding to ensure that all facilities and improvements regarding sewer collection
and treatment; water; drainage; circulation; fire; schools; parks and other recreational
facilities; libraries; government administrative facilities; and open space, related to the
project will be installed to serve new development prior to or concurrent with need.

The project is consistent with the adopted Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan for the
McClellan-Palomar Airport (ALUCP), dated October 2004, in that as conditioned the
applicant sha11 record a notice concerning aircraft noise. The project is compatible with
the projected noise levels of the ALUCP; and, based on the noise/land use compatibility
matrix of the ALUCP, the proposed land use is compatible with the airport, in that the
proposed restaurant and retail center uses are considered compatible land uses
within the 60 CNEL.
The Planning Commission hereby finds that all development in Carlsbad benefits from
the Habitat Management Plan, which is a comprehensive conservation plan and
implementation program that will facilitate the preservation of biological diversity and
provide for effective protection and conservation of wildlife and plant species while
continuing to allow compatible development in accordance with Carlsbad's Growth
Management Plan. Preservation of wildlife habitats and sensitive species is required by
the Open Space and Conservation Element of the City's General Plan which provides for
the realization of the social, economic, aesthetic and environmental benefits from the
preservation of open space within an increasingly urban environment. Moreover, each
new development will contribute to the need for additional regional infrastructure that, in
tum, will adversely impact species and habitats. The In-Lieu Mitigation Fee imposed on
all new development within the City is essential to fund implementation of the City's
Habitat Management Plan.
That the project is consistent with the City's Landscape Manual (Carlsbad Municipal
Code Section 14.28.020 and Landscape Manual Section I B):
The Planning Commission has reviewed each of the exactions imposed on the Developer
contained in this resolution, and hereby finds, in this case, that the exactions are imposed
to mitigate impacts caused by or reasonably related to the project, and the extent and the
degree of the exaction is in rough proportionality to the impact caused by the project.

developed so as to implement and be consistent with all provisions of the LCP; the
project has been designed to reduce the amount of runoff to the maximum extent
practicable, utilizes Low Impact Design (LID), and has been conditioned to
implement the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
standards; and the site is geologically stable.
The proposal is in confonnity with the public access and recreation policies of Chapter 3
of the Coastal Act in that the site is located on the east side of the first public street
and no coastal access areas or water-oriented recreational activities exist on or near
the project site.
The project is consistent with the provisions of the Coastal Resource Protection Overlay
Zone (Chapter 21.203 of the Zoning Ordinance) in that the project will adhere to the
City's Master Drainage Plan, Grading Ordinance, Stonn Water Ordinance, Standard
Urban Storm Water Mitigation Plan (SUSMP), and Jurisdictional Urban Runoff
Management Program (JURMP) to avoid increased urban runoff, pollutants, and soil
erosion. No steep slopes or native vegetation is located on the subject property and the
site is not located in an area prone to landslides, or susceptible to accelerated erosion,
floods, or liquefaction.
The Planning Commission has reviewed each of the exactions imposed on the Developer
contained in this resolution, and hereby finds, in this case, that the exactions are imposed
to mitigate impacts caused by or reasonably related to the project, and the extent and the
degree of the exaction is in rough proportionality to the impact caused by the project.
