I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The proposed project is the expansion of the existing aquaculture facility to include a 40'x100' laboratory addition immediately north of the existing facility. The laboratory would be used to conduct feasibility studies on the use of thermal effluent in aquaculture. CUP-194, adopted on March 11, 1981, approved a three-year phased construction plan to install 40 low-profile, circular culture tanks for breeding fish and shellfish for research purposes, and to allow commercial distribution to local restaurant and markets. The applicant intends to use this approval in the near future. Surrounding property is zoned open space to the north and public utilities on the other three sides. I I. ANALYSIS Planning Issues 1) Will the project meet the required findings for a conditional use permit? III. DISCUSSION As designed, the project is in harmony with the objectives of the General Plan. Aquaculture has been designated as an agricultural use by the California legislative. Agricultural uses are allowed as permissible land uses by the general plan and open space zone. There is 1000 feet between the existing aquaculture laboratory and the public fishing area on Agua Hedionda Lagoon. The pro- posed expansion consists of a 40'x100' pre-engineered metal building on a concrete slab to be located immediately north of the existing facility. Staff believes the site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the proposed use. To preserve the scenic view along Carlsbad Boulevard and to minimize the visual impacts of the proposed project, a landscaping and irrigation plan will be required as a condition of approval. Access for the proposed project would be from the public fishing area to the north of the site. During review of CUP-194, staff expressed concern regarding potential traffic impacts. A traffic engineer was hired to review the proposed plans. At that time it was concluded the project would have no adverse traffic impacts. The current aquaculture laboratory generates six trips per day and the proposed expansion is not expected to increase that number. There is also sufficient off-street parking to accommodate the staff which will remain at 2-4 employees. Staff finds that the proposed expansion does meet the required findings of a conditional use permit. IV. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Planning Director has determined that this project will not have a significant impact on the environment and, therefore, has issued a Negative Declaration dated July 14, 1982. V. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Planning Commission APPROVE the Negative Declaration issued by the Planning Director and ADOPT Resolution No. 1991, APPROVING CUP-194(A), based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein.

STATEMENT OF NON.;SIGNIFICANT'ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS If you have answered yes to one or more of the questions in Section I but you think the activity will have no significant environmental effects, indicate your reasons below: Two i terns were answered in the affirmative: No. 18 The discharge of seawater from the aquaculture facility will require a NPDES permit from the EPA and Regional Water Quality Control Board. This will be combined with the existing NPDES permit held by SDG&E. No. 19 The General Plan provides for aquaculture development in any zone; however, a CUP is required.

There are a few items that may require further clarification: No. 2 Could the activity affect the use of a recreational area, or area of important aesthetic value? The parcel is surrounded by a barbed wire fence to restrict trespassers. After extending the existing chain-linked fence and installion of a low profile hatchery building, the view of unaesthetically pleasing items such as oil storage tanks and floating dredge would only be partially restricted. The research and educational value of this addition will far outweigh any loss of view. No. 7 Are any of the natural or man-made features in the activity unique, that is, not found in other parts of the County, State, or nation? The unique aspect of this site is that it is located adjacent to a source of seawater at elevated temperature that is essential for the culture of warmwater species. Thermal effluent is presently con- sidered a pollutant but can be viewed as a resource if beneficially used in fish culture. No. 9 Could the activity signicantly affect the potential use, extraction, or conservation of a scare natural resource? The aquaculture laboratory.addition will allow further research to reclaim a waste heat resource, enhance the production of fish and shellfish, aRd reduce our dependence on already overexploited fisheries. No.13 Could the activity change existing features of any of the City's lagoons, bays, or tidelands? The proposed aquaculture 1 aboratory a~di ti o.n would not directly affect the adjacent lagoon but could laed to the enhancement of its fish and shellfish productivity. No.27 Could the activity result in a significant change in the quality of any porUon of the region's air or water resources? The use of thermal effluent in fish culture may reduce the amount of heat dissipated to.the environment or partially compensate for any adverse effects caused by the discharge of thermal effluent from the oower plant. No.3O Will the activity result in substantial increases in the use of utilities, sewers, drains or streets? ·r The aquaculture laboratory will require a minimal number of personnel for which off-street parking will be provided. An independent traffic study concluded that there would be no·:tr.affic rimpactt on Carlsbad Boulevard. There will be no increases in the use of utilities.
