DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION
Am QUALITY-Would the project:
a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan?
No Impact. The project site is located in the San Diego Air Basin which is a federal and state non-attainment area
for ozone (03), and a state non-attainment area 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 1994, 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 adverse regional air quality impact.
Section 15125(B) of the State of California Environment 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 growth assumptions of the City's General Plan and the RAQS.
Therefore, the project is consistent with the regional air quality plan and will in no way conflict or obstruct
implementation of the regional plan.
b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing or projected air quality
violation?
Less Than Significant Impact. The closest air quality monitoring station to the project site is in the City of
Oceanside. Data available for this monitoring site through April, 2002 indicate that the most recent air quality
violations recorded were for the state one hour standard for ozone (one day in both 2000 and 2001) and one day in
2001 for the federal 8-hour average for ozone and one day for the 24-hour state standard for suspended particulates
in 1996. No violations of any other air quality standards have been recorded recently. Ifthere is grading associated
with the project, 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) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project
region is non-attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard?

Less Than Significant Impact. The Air Basin is currently in a 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 15130 (a)(4), the proposed project's contribution to the cumulative impact is considered
de minimus. Any impact is assessed as less than significant.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

WEST BLUFF PLAZA
6994-D El Camino Real
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION and SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Southwestern Bell Mobile Systems, a Delaware Limited Liability Company, d/b/a
Cingular Wireless ("Cingular"), is licensed by the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) to provide domestic wireless service by transmitting and receiving radio frequency
spectrum signals. This system utilizes bands of signal in the 850 and 1900 MHz ranges
to provide for voice, text messaging, video and data transmission services. Currently,
Cingular is undergoing a major system-wide upgrade to its existing network throughout
the United States. More specifically, Cingular is upgrading its network throughout the
San Diego County area to improve network coverage, reliability and capacity. These
upgrades require the strategic location of wireless cell sites throughout the San Diego
County area, including the Southern portion of the City of Carlsbad. Cingular' s Radio
Frequency ("RF") Engineers and Real Estate Site Acquisition Specialists have identified
sites that meet both the wireless network technical requirements and the business terms
objectives, therefore, Cingular seeks to obtain planning and zoning approval for the
above referenced site.
SITE SELECTION
Cingular Wireless engineering, planning and site acquisition staffs have been working to
improve, enhance, and expand the Digital network throughout the County of San Diego
as well as to other underserved regions in Southern California. The system employs a
network of transmit/receive stations ( cell sites) that carry and "hand off" signals as the
user moves from one area to another. As the user moves from one cell site area to the
next, signals to and from the first cell site fade while those to and from the next cell site
strengthen. Sophisticated computer systems sense these signal variations and
automatically hand the signal off to an available channel as the user moves between cell
areas.
The network of cell sites throughout the region is "locational dependent", meaning that
there is a necessary and logical interrelationship between each cell site. Eliminating or
relocating a single cell site can lead to gaps in the system or areas where a continuous
signal cannot be maintained, and may necessitate significant design changes or
modifications to the network. In addition, each cell site can only handle a finite number
of calls simultaneously. When a cell site becomes so "busy" that attempted calls are
rejected due to "capacity", then an additional cell needs to be added to handle these
additional calls.
This site is intended to augment the existing coverage by both extending the current
coverage and adding additional call capacity to the nearby high traffic areas.
Specifically, the proposed site will extend coverage to the residential areas east of the.
site; and it will both enhance capacity and extend coverage to nearby portlons of El
Camino Real (and the associated commercial and residential areas near El Camino Real)
to th~ north, south, and west of the site.
Other nearby options very briefly considered and rejected were:
• Residential buildings to north of site: rejected because Ordinance discourages
sites in residential;
• Residenlial buildings to east rejected because area is too low and developed in
residential:
• SDG&E tower to south of site: rejected because Ordinance discourages SDG&E
towers in residential zoning;
• Commercial buildings to west: rejected because too low.
A map of the current and proposed Cingular sites in Carlsbad is attached.
PROPOSED DESIGN
1 ~ r. ! t,.!. .
The property currently contains 1pree wireless telecom sites. The equipment shelters for
all three are on the edge of the "courtyard" on the eastern portion of the site. The existing
antennas facing south and east are all mounted on the various building faces at the top of
the roofline. The existing north facing antennas are all placed inside faux "dormers'' on
the north facing portion of roof. The north facing antennas are not visible to the public.
The Cingular proposal would place the east and south facing antennas on the building
faces in the same manner and close to the existing antennas. However, no there is not
sufficient room to build another "dormer" for north facing antennas. Thus the proposal
would extend upward an existing "portico" at the northwest corner of the building, The
north facing antennas would be placed inside this extension and would not be visible to
the public. The existing architecture and "look" of the building would be maintained.
The equipment cabinets would be place inside the building in former office space and
would not be visible to the public. AJI materials and colors will match existing.
· Photo-simulations are attached.
FCC GUIDELINES FOR EMF EXPOSURE
The applicant will promptly provide verification of compliance with the FCC Guid~lines
for EMF exposure pending agreement on final antenna location.
