The site was approved with the knowledge of future expansion occurring on the most northern portion of the site. This submittal ofa Consistency Determination is requesting; 1) a revision to the entry plaza; 2) paving and striping the dirt area currently used for parking at the facility; 3) the addition ofa 240sf storage shed atthe north end of the building; 4) the addition of a trash bin enclosure located inthe parking lot and; 5) creating a trail around the perimeter ofthe parking lot that will provide trail access and outdoor learning areas. Project Findings: 1) No project conclition, feature, facility or amenity is changed or deleted that had been considered essential to the project's design, quality, safety or function. No changes are proposed to the existing facility or use ofthe faciiity. 2) The request represents an upgrade in overall design features and or materials and improves upon the project's compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood. The proposed revision will enhance the Discovery Center by adding paved parking, outdoor learning areas, and trait connection. 3} The proposed revision does not change the density (i.e. the addition of units) or boundary of the subject property. No change in density or boundary of the property. 4) The proposed revision does not involve the addition of a new/ land use not shown on the original permit (e.g. adding a commercial use to a residential project, replacing single family units with attached residential units, vice versa for each example, etc.). There are no proposed changes in iand use. 5) The proposed revision does not rearrange the major land uses within the development (e.g. it does not exchange the locations of single family units with attached units). There are no proposed changes in iand use. 3156 Lionshead Avenue, Ste. 1 • Carlsbad • CA • 92010 • 760-692-4100 • Fax 760-692-4105 c o Hofman Planning & Engineering 6) The proposed revision does not create changes of greater than ten percent (10%), provided that compliance will be maintained with the applicable development standards ofthe Carlsbad IVIunicipal Code as follows: Per individual lot or structure - yards, setbacks, coverage or height (height reduction of>10% are permitted); On an aggregate project basis - parking, open space, common area or landscaping. Though the parking area will be paved and striped, it is currently being used for parking, so changes to the parking will not be greater than 10%. The addition of the storage shed is less than 10% of the existing facility. 7) The proposed change will not result in any significant environmental impact, and/or require additional mitigation. There are no significant environmental impacts that would result from this project; no additional mitigation measure would be required. 8) The proposed change would not result in any health, safety or welfare impacts. There would be no adverse impacts. Safety witt be improved by paving and striping the parking lot. 9) There were not any major issues or controversies associated with the original project which would be exacerbated with the proposed change. There were no major issues or controversies associated with the originat project. 10) The proposed change would not be readily discernible to the decision makers as being substantially different from the project as originally approved.

CA 92010 Attention: Mr. Eric Munoz Subject: Field Percolation Testing Results, Proposed Parking Lot Expansion Area, Agua Hedionda Lagoon Foundation, Carlsbad, California In accordance with your request, Leighton Consulting, Inc. (Leighton) perfonned field percolation testing within the proposed Parking Lot Expansion area at the Agua Hedionda Lagoon Foundation in Carlsbad, Califomia. Based on review of in-house documents, we understand the area of the proposed Improvements is generally underlain by the Santiago Formation with relative a thin layer of surface fill and topsoil. We are currently assuming that the proposed finish grades of the improvements will remain the same (i.e., only minor cuts and fills). In summary, we performed three field percolation tests on the site to evaluate the existing on site soils for potential infiltration of storni water. The results of the field percolation tests indicated that the site soils have a percolation rate ranging from approximately 50 to 125 minutes per inch (mpi). The approximate locations of the test and the associated percolation rates are shown on the attached Exhibit A. Note that the designer of the onsite storm water infiltration system should consider the results of field testing, which may vary by 10 percent, and use engineering judgment in developing an appropriate system. 3934 Murphy Canyon Road, Suite B205 • San Diego, CA 92123-4425 858.569.6914 .
