IXJ I find that the proposed project MAY have significant effect(s) on the environment, but at least one potentially significant effect 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. A Mitigated Negative Declaration is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed. I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there WILL NOT be a significant effect in this case because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier Master Environmental Impact Review (MEIR 93-01) pursuant to applicable standards and (b) have been voided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier Master Environmental Review (MEIR 93-01), including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project. Therefore, a Notice of Prior Compliance has been prepared. Planner Signature ™v Date Planning DirectoVs^ignatdre Date Rev. 03/28/96 c o ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS STATE CEQA GUIDELINES, Chapter 3, Article 5, Section 15063 requires that the City conduct an Environmental Impact Assessment 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 brief 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 adversely significant, 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 than significant level. • "Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect is significant. • Based on an "EIA-Part II", if a proposed project could have a potentially significant effect on the environment, but all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR or 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 (Prior Compliance). • When "Potentially Significant Impact" is checked the project is not necessarily required to prepare an EIR if the significant effect has been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR pursuant to applicable standards and the 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 effect on the environment. Rev. 03/28/96 c o • If there are one or more potentially significant effects, the City may avoid preparing an EIR if there are mitigation measures to clearly reduce 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 circumstances: (1) the potentially significant 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 impact to less than significant; (2) a "Statement of Overriding Considerations" for the significant impact has not been made pursuant to an earlier EIR; (3) proposed mitigation measures do not reduce the impact to less than significant, or; (4) through the EIA-Part II 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 at the end of the form under DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION. Particular attention should be given to discussing mitigation for impacts which would otherwise be determined significant. Rev. 03/28/96 o Issues (and Supporting Information Sources). I.

Earlier analysis of this proposed single family residential project has been completed through the General Plan Update (GPA 94-01) and related Master Environmental Impact Report (MEIR 93-01), The MEIR is cited as source #1 in the preceding checklist. This proposal is consistent with the applicable portions of the General Plan and is considered a project that was described in MEIR 93-01 as within its scope. All feasible mitigation measures identified in MEIR 93-01 which are appropriate to the project have been incorporated into this project. The project site is located in an area which is subject to the requirements of the Zone 20 Specific Plan approved by the City Council in 1994. A program EIR was certified for the Zone 20 Specific Plan. The Zone 20 Program EIR identified, analyzed, and recommended mitigation to reduce potentially significant impacts to insignificant levels. The Zone 20 Program EIR (PEIR) analyzed potential impacts to agriculture, air quality, biology, circulation, land use, noise, pesticide residue, paleontology, public facilities financing, soils/geology, and visual aesthetics that could result from the development of the Specific Plan area. The Program EIR is intended to be used in the review of subsequent projects within Zone 20. The project incorporates the required Zone 20 Program EIR mitigation measures, and through the analysis of the required additional biological, geotechnical, hydrology, and noise analysis a determination has been made that no additional significant impacts beyond those identified and mitigated by the Program EIR will result from this project. The following environmental evaluation briefly explains the basis for this determination along with identifying the source documents which support the environmental determination. The Zone 20 Program EIR and additional technical studies are cited as source documents for this environmental evaluation. 10 Rev. 03/28/96 DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION/ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING The project site is approximately 27.7 acres in size and is located at the north of Poinsettia Lane between Aviara Parkway and Black Rail Road . The project consists of 21 residential lots with a minimum lot area of 7,500 square feet and one 21.87 acre open space lot. The site contains coastal sage scrub, southern maritime chaparral, native grasslands, southern willow scrub, California gnatcatchers, sensitive plant species, and areas which have been used for agriculture. A total of 27.7 acres of the site are designated as Residential Low-Medium Density (RLM 0-4 DU/AC). The project site is zoned Limited Control (L-C). A zone change and local coastal program amendment are proposed to designate the site as One-Family Residential, 7,500 square foot minimum lot size, Qualified Development Overlay Zone (R-l-Q) and Open Space (OS) to correspond to the existing general plan land use designations. An irrevocable offer of dedication will be required over the open space lot. A portion of the residential density from these parcels is being transferred to the area of the site which is proposed to be developed. In addition to approval of the tentative map application a hillside development permit and coastal development permit approval are being requested. 11 Rev. 03/28/96 II. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS B. Environmental Impact Discussion V. a) Air Quality The implementation of projects that are consistent with and included in the updated 1994 General Plan will result in increased gas and electric power consumption and vehicle miles traveled. These subsequently result in increases in the emission of carbon monoxide, reactive organic gases, oxides of nitrogen and sulfur, and suspended particulates. These aerosols are the major contributors to air pollution in the City as well as in the San Diego Air Basin. Since the San Diego Air Basin is a "non-attainment basin", any additional air emissions are considered cumulatively significant: therefore, continued development to buildout as proposed in the updated General Plan will have cumulative significant impacts on the air quality of the region. To lessen or minimize the impact on air quality associated with General Plan buildout, a variety of mitigation measures are recommended in the Final Master EIR. These include: 1) provisions for roadway and intersection improvements prior to or concurrent with development; 2) measures to reduce vehicle trips through the implementation of Congestion and Transportation Demand Management; 3) provisions to encourage alternative modes of transportation including mass transit services; 4) conditions to promote energy efficient building and site design; and 5) participation in regional growth management strategies when adopted. The applicable and appropriate General Plan air quality mitigation measures have either been incorporated into the design of the project or are included as conditions of project approval. Operation-related emissions are considered cumulatively significant because the project is located within a "non-attainment basin", therefore, the "Initial Study" checklist is marked "Potentially Significant Impact". This project is consistent with the General Plan, therefore, the preparation of an EIR is not required because the certification of Final Master EIR 93-01, by City Council Resolution No. 94-246, included a "Statement Of Overriding Considerations" for air quality impacts. This "Statement Of Overriding Considerations" applies to all projects within the scope of the General Plan's Final Master EIR, including this project, therefore, no further environmental review of air quality impacts is required. This document is available at the Planning Department. VI. a) Transportation/Circulation The implementation of projects that fall within the scope of and are included in the updated 1994 General Plan will result in increased traffic volumes. Roadway segments will be adequate to accommodate buildout traffic; however, 12 full and 2 partial intersections will be severely impacted by regional through-traffic over which the City has no jurisdictional control. These generally include all freeway interchange areas and major intersections along Carlsbad Boulevard. Even with the implementation of roadway improvements, a number of intersections are projected to fail the City's adopted Growth Management performance standards at buildout. To lessen or minimize the impact on circulation associated with General Plan buildout, numerous mitigation measures have been recommended in the Final Master EIR. These include measures to ensure the provision of circulation facilities concurrent with need; 2) provisions to develop alternative modes of transportation such as trails, bicycle routes, additional sidewalks, pedestrian linkages, and commuter rail systems; and 3) participation in regional circulation strategies when 12 Rev. 03/28/96 Q adopted. The diversion of regional through-traffic from a failing Interstate or State Highway onto City streets creates impacts that are not within the jurisdiction of the City to control. The applicable and appropriate General Plan circulation mitigation measures have either been incorporated into the design of the project or are included as conditions of project approval. The project will be conditioned to dedicate a segment of the future citywide trail within the western portion of the site (SDG&E access road), and to pay its fair share of the cost of the Poinsettia Lane road segment through Zone 20. Regional related circulation impacts are considered cumulatively significant because of the failure of intersections at buildout of the General Plan due to regional through-traffic, therefore, the "Initial Study" checklist is marked "Potentially Significant Impact". This project is consistent with the General Plan, therefore, the preparation of an EIR is not required because the recent certification of Final Master EIR 93-01, by City Council Resolution No. 94-246, included a "Statement Of Overriding Considerations" for circulation impacts. This "Statement Of Overriding Considerations" applies to all projects that fall within the scope of the General Plan's Master EIR, including this project. The City has received its annual Growth Management Traffic Monitoring Report. The Report has recorded an unanticipated intersection "level of service" (LOS) failure at Palomar Airport Road (PAR) and El Camino Real (ECR) during both the a.m. and p.m. peak hours. This potentially creates a changed circumstance negating reliance on previous environmental documentation. Pursuant to §15162 of the CEQA Guidelines a lead agency must prepare a "Subsequent" environmental documentation if substantial evidence (i.e., the recorded intersection failure) determines that a changed circumstance exists. However, case law has interpreted this section of the CEQA Guidelines to not require the preparation of a "Subsequent EIR" if mitigation measures are adopted which reduce the identified impacts to a level of insignificance. A mitigation measure has been identified which, if implemented, will bring the peak hours LOS into the acceptable range. The mitigation measure involves construction of two dual right turn lanes-northbound to eastbound and westbound to northbound. This project has been conditioned to pay its fair share of the intersection "short-term improvements," thereby guaranteeing mitigation to a level of insignificance. VII. a, c. & d) Biological Resources The Zone 20 Program EIR identified the mitigation requirement that future site specific biological survey studies that focus on the impacts created by individual subsequent development projects be prepared. The additional biological studies are required to consider the baseline data and biological open space recommendations of the Zone 20 Program EIR and provide more detailed and current resource surveys. The site specific biological survey is required to identify mitigation for any project specific impacts. A report entitled, "Biological Resources Assessment of the Rosech Site Located in the City of Carlsbad, San Diego County, California," dated December 8, 1998 by Natural Resource Consultants has been prepared for the project. In addition, a separate sensitive plant survey on a portion of the Roesch property has been conducted to analyze the biological impacts associated with the proposed project grading and fire suppression zones. 13 Rev. 03/28/96 The biology report for the Roesch property determined that implementation of the project would result in the direct loss of 6.61 acres or approximately 24% of the site including impacts to the following habitat types and sensitive plant and animal species : 5.02 acres of agricultural - less than significant 0.0 acre of coastal sage scrub - less than significant 1.37 acre of southern maritime chaparral - significant 4.98 acre of annual non-native grassland - less than significant .28 acres of ruderal - less than significant .01 acres of eucalyptus woodlands - less than significant approximately 296 white coast ceanothus 20 Nuttall's scrub oak 1591 square feet of western dichondra 484 square feet of ashy spike moss Based on cumulative data pertaining to the site, it is assumed the site supports two gnatcatcher pairs within the coastal sage scrub and chaparral areas. The California gnatcatcher observed onsite were located on the north and south sides of the site within chaparral and coastal sage scrub vegetation. There will be no impact to its preferred habitat, coastal sage scrub. Indirect impacts may result in the reduction of the carrying capacity of the native habitats, however, the patch of habitat onsite is connected to additional habitat offsite. The proposed plan results in the preservation of approximately 21 acres (76 percent), 14.5 acres of which are native habitats, in natural open space, including 100% of native grasslands, coastal sage scrub, disturbed coastal sage scrub, and southern willow scrub, and 67% of southern maritime chaparral. The following onsite impacts associated with implementation of the proposed development plan are considered significant: a) Loss of 1.37 acre of southern maritime chaparral. The Roesch property is identified as a standards area within Linkage Area F of the Carlsbad Draft Habitat Management Plan (HMP). Standards areas require a minimum preservation of 67 percent of coastal sage scrub and 75 percent of gnatcatchers as well as 100% conservation of narrow endemic species. Additionally, within Zone 20, a goal is established for no net loss of wetland habitats, southern maritime chaparral, maritime succulent scrub and coastal sage scrub. The proposed project meets the standards area conservation requirements outlined by the Draft Carlsbad HMP: the project ensures the functioning of preserve linkages due to the preserve design and native habitats that are contiguous with open space on adjacent parcels is preserved. Although the project results in the loss of 1.37 acre of southern maritime chaparral, it does not contain narrow endemic plants and is located to the east of the linkage corridor proposed by the Roesch project. The project contributes to the preservation of resources and the ultimate development of the subregional preserve system by contributing open space, a total of 21 acres of predominately native habitats, in a continuous configuration through Linkage Area F. On an overall project-level basis, the property is proposed to preserve 76 percent of the site, with the sensitive native habitats onsite proposed to receive approximately 100 percent preservation except for southern maritime chaparral. The potential indirect impact to the 2 pair of gnatcatchers observed onsite resulting from grading activities would be mitigated through direct surveys to locate active gnatcatcher nests. If nests are present, no grading or removal of habitat may take place within 200 feet of active nesting sites during the nesting/breeding season (mid-February through mid-July). 14 Rev. 03/28/96 c 3 Thus, the proposed project is consistent with the Draft Carlsbad HMP. Mitigation Measures The project design mitigates direct impacts to southern maritime chaparral and the sensitive plant species that occur within this habitat. Included in the project design is the granting of an irrevocable offer of dedication to the City of Carlsbad or an acceptable entity for an open space/conservation easement over Lot 22 of the tentative map. This covers over 67 percent (2.79 acres) of the southern maritime chaparral on the Roesch property. This satisfies the 2:1 mitigation ratio that is typically required by the resource agencies for the impact of southern maritime chaparral. The open space easement also includes the preservation of 100% of native grasslands, coastal sage scrub, disturbed coastal sage scrub, southern willow scrub as well as the majority of wart-stemmed ceanothus, Nuttall's scrub oak, western dichondra, ashy spike moss, and California gnatcatcher occurring onsite. In addition, the following mitigation measures will be implemented: To mitigate potential disturbances to the California gnatcatcher resulting from grading activities, prior to the commencement of grading activities, direct surveys to locate active gnatcatcher nests shall be conducted by a qualified biologist. If nests are present, no grading or removal of habitat may take place within 200 feet of active nesting sites during the nesting/breeding season (mid- February through mid-July). The Developer shall establish a homeowner's association and corresponding covenants, conditions and restrictions. Said CC&Rs shall be submitted to and approved by the Planning Director prior to final map approval. Prior to issuance of a building permit the Developer shall provide the Planning Department with a recorded copy of the official CC&Rs that have been approved by the Department of Real Estate and the Planning Director. At a minimum, the CC&Rs shall contain the following provision: a. The CC&Rs shall include provisions specifying maintenance responsibility for Open Space Lot 22. The CC&Rs shall stipulate that within the boundaries of the HOA open space easement, structures or any other thing not shown on the approved tentative map or landscape plans shall be prohibited. The Developer shall dedicate to the Homeowner's Association on the final map, an open space maintenance easement over Lot 22 identified on the tentative map to enable maintenance activities within the easement area including but not limited to, landscaping and irrigation in accordance with the approved tentative map and landscape plans, removal of debris and trash, minimal fire suppression thinning, and erosion prevention and remediation. A note to this effect shall be placed on the non-mapping data sheet of the final map. Removal of native vegetation and development of Open Space Lot(s) 22, including but not limited to fences, walls, decks, storage buildings, pools, spas, stairways and landscaping, other than that approved as part of the grading plan, improvement plans, landscape plan, etc. as shown on the project exhibits, is specifically prohibited, except upon written order of the Carlsbad Fire Department for fire prevention purposes, or upon written approval of the Planning Director, based upon a request from the Homeowners Association accompanied by a report from a qualified arborist/botanist indicating the need to remove specified trees and/or plants because of disease or impending danger to adjacent habitable 15 Rev. 03/28/96 c o dwelling units. For areas containing native vegetation the report required to accompany the request shall be prepared by a qualified biologist. IX. c) and d) Hazards Agricultural chemicals have previously been used on the site according to the Zone 20 Program EIR. Because of this prior use there is the potential for soil contamination resulting from the varying degrees of degradation, prevalence in the environment, and toxicity of the agricultural chemicals which may have been used. The following mitigation measures shall be implemented to lessen this potential impact to a level of less than significant as required by the Zone 20 Program EIR: 1) Prior to approval of the final map or grading plan a detailed soils testing and analysis report shall be prepared by a registered soils engineer, and submitted to the City Planning and Engineering Departments as well as the County Department of Environmental Health for review and approval. This report shall evaluate the potential for soil contamination on-site due to historic use, handling, or storage of restricted agricultural chemicals. The report shall also identify a range of possible mitigation measures to remediate any potentially significant public health impacts if hazardous chemicals are detected at high concentrations in the soil. Such mitigation measures shall include, at a minimum: a. Remove any contaminated soils and haul to a State-certified landfill. b. Cap the area of soil contamination with materials appropriate for the containment of the specific type of chemical, taking into account its rate of absorption and toxicity level. c. Place the area of soil contamination in an open space easement, with restrictions on future construction of permanent buildings and human uses. Fencing and warning signs shall also be installed, where appropriate, prohibiting potential use of the site. 2) The applicant shall notify, in a manner satisfactory to the City Attorney, all tenants/users of new development that these areas are subject to dust, pesticides, and odors associated with adjacent agricultural operations, and that the tenants/users occupy these areas at their own risk. X.b) Noise A noise study was prepared for the project as required by a mitigation measure identified in the Zone 20 program EIR. All projects located within 500 feet of existing/future Poinsettia Lane are required to analyze the projected traffic noise impacts. The acoustical evaluation prepared by Investigative Science and Engineering concluded that the all noise levels at receptor points would be below the 670 dBA CNEL threshold established by the City; therefore no mitigation is required. In accordance with mitigation required by the Zone 20 EIR, the following condition shall be applied to the project: Prior to the recordation of the first final tract map or the issuance of building permits, whichever occurs first, the Developer shall prepare and record a Notice that this property 16 Rev. 03/28/96 o is subject to overflight, sight and sound of aircraft operating from McClellan-Palomar Airport, in a form meeting the approval of the Planning Director and the City Attorney (see Noise Form #2 on file in the Planning Department). XIV. a) Cultural Resources - Paleontology According to the Zone 20 Program EIR the geologic formations present within the Zone 20 Specific Plan Area have the potential to contain significant fossils. There is a high potential for the discovery of fossils during future grading and construction activities. The following mitigation measures shall be implemented during future grading of the site to reduce potentially significant impacts on the region's paleontological resources to an acceptable level: a. Prior to any grading of the project site, a paleontologist shall be retained to perform a walkover survey of the site and to review the grading plans to determine if the proposed grading will impact fossil resources. A copy of the paleontologist's report shall be provided to the Planning Director prior to issuance of a grading permit; b. A qualified paleontologist shall be retained to perform periodic inspections of the site and to salvage exposed fossils. Due to the small nature of some of the fossils present in the geologic strata, it may be necessary to collect matrix samples for laboratory processing through fine screens. The paleontologist shall make periodic reports to the Planning Director during the grading process; c. The paleontologist shall be allowed to divert or direct grading in the area of an exposed fossil in order to facilitate evaluation and, if necessary, salvage artifacts; d. All fossils collected shall be donated to a public, non-profit institution with a research interest in the materials, such as the San Diego Natural History Museum; e. Any conflicts regarding the role of the paleontologist and the grading activities of the project shall be resolved by the Planning Director and City Engineer. III.
