2. The site of the proposed golf course is part of a larger
area which was occasionally used for agricultural pur-
poses. A small man-made pond occurs at the southern end
of the property and an associated drainage is located
adjacent and east of the eastern project boundary. Ex-
cept for a small amount of mixed chaparral located in the
northwestern portion of the property, the area is covered
by annual grassland and a regrowth of Baccharis scrub.
These latter two vegetational types reflect the site's
past agricultural uses.
Topographically, the site is relatively flat. A small
hill in the central portion of the property rises from an
elevation of approximately 85 feet above mean sea level
(MSL) to about 110 feet above MSL. The extreme western
boundary of the proposed golf course coincides with the
edge of a steeper hillside. Slopes in this area exceed
25 percent.

I. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ANALYSIS
Four items (agricultural lands, state or federal environ-
mental permit, issuance of a conditional use permit, and con-
struction on slopes greater than 25 percent) were checked yes
in this section. These four issues are discussed below:
15. Based upon the existing age and type of vegetation
present on th site, it appears that the central portion of
the property was cultivated at one time and that the entire
site has been used for grazing purposes. Grazing of at least
a portion of the site was discontinued about five years ago.
Three soil types occur on the site: Altamont clay, Salinas
clay, and Visalia sandy loam. The Altamont clay soil type is
located in the southwestern portion of the site. It is se-
verely limited for crops; for example, it is rated as fair
for the production of tomatoes but is adversely affected by
slope. The Salinas clay, located primarily in the eastern
portion of the project, is considered suitable for most
crops, has few management needs, and possesses minor limita-
tions which narrow the choice of crops. This soil type is
rated good for the production of tomatoes. The Visalia loam
soil is located in the northwestern portion of the site and
has few or no limitations for agicultural uses. It is rated
as good for the production of avocados, citrus, truck crops,
and flowers and as fair for the production of tomatoes (U.S.
Department of Agriculture 1973).
18. As part of the project, a 1603 permit will be re-
quired from the California State Department of Fish and Game
for alteration of a streambed.
19. Implementation of the golf course will require that
the City of Carlsbad issue a conditional use permit.
22. Construction of the 20-foot-wide access road along
most of the project's western boundary will necessitate some
cutting of existing slopes which are over 25 percent in
gradient.
11. STATEMENT OF NON-SIGNIFICAiNT'ENVIRONMIINTAL 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

II. STATEMENT OF NON-SIGNIFICANT ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS
All of the items checked yes in the environmental analy-
sis portion of this assessment are not considered to consti-
tute significant environmental effects.
15. Approximately 65 percent of the site possesses soils
which are considered good for agricultural production. Po-
tential impacts to agriculture were addressed in the final
environmental impact report prepared for the La Costa Master
Plan and General Plan Amendment:
"... development in the La Costa area will not
adversely affect the agricultural potential of the
area. This conclusion is based on information pro-
vided by a University of California Farm Advisor
(S. T. Besemer, personal communication) to the effect
that the "The soils are very eroded and unproductive
in the area east of El Camino Real.1" (RECON
1976:45).
Therefore, since the potential impact to agricultural lands
was found not to be significant on the level of the master
plan, this potential impact should not be considered signifi-
cant on the individual project level.
18. The proposed project will require the issuance of a
1603 permit from the California State Department of Fish and
Game for alteration of the streambed located along the east-
ern boundary of the property.
19. The proposed golf course will require the issuance
of a conditional use permit by the city. The conditional use
permit identifies a discretionary action and does not imply a
significant or nonsignificant environmental effect. This
golf course is designated on the La Costa Master Plan.
-6b-
22. Construction of the access road along the western
boundary of the project site will require minimal cuts into
slopes in excess of 25 percent gradient. This proposed road
will only be 20 feet wide and will generally follow the con-
tours of the existing topography. In addition, only a por-
tion of this road will affect slopes in excess of 25 percent,
Therefore, encroachment into steeper topography is not con-
sidered a significant effect.

III. COMMENTS OR ELABORATIONS TO ANY OF THE QUESTIONS IN
SECTION 1
8. As part of the analysis of potential environmental
impacts which might be associated with the implementation of
the La Costa North Lake and Golf Course Complex portion of
the Rancho La Costa development, approximately 181 acres were
surveyed for the presence of archaeological resources (RECON
1978).
Eight archaeological sites have been recorded as
occurring on or very close to the site of the proposed golf
course. Seven of these sites have already been mitigated.
Potential impacts to the eighth site have been mitigated to a
level of five feet (RECON 1978). Only minor grading consist-
ing of some fill or slight cuts into the site will be pro-
posed. No grading will occur below five feet of the surface.
Given these conditions, potential impacts to archaeological
resources are considered to be not significant.
10. A survey of biological resources present on the prop-
erty was conducted on February 11, 1982. The results of this
survey are attached.

ABSTRACT
A biological field reconnaissance of the subject property was con-
ducted on February 11, 1982 (Figure 1). Resources identified on the
property include 13 acres of mesic lowlands and freshwater marsh habitat
surrounded by fallow agricultural lands. No rare or endangered plant or
animal species were observed on the site.
The proposed project will result in the creation of more freshwater
habitat than presently exists on the property. The conversion of 68
acres of introduced annual grassland and Baccharis scrub to golf course
use will not result in significant adverse impacts.
No mitigation measures are proposed.

ECOLOGICAL ANALYSIS
A biological field reconnaissance of the subject property was con-
ducted on February 11, 1982 by Cameron Patterson, botanist, and Paul Fro-
mer, zoologist. The purpose of this survey was to determine if signifi-
cant biological resources on the property would be affected by the pro-
posed construction of a golf course. Significant biological resources
are considered to include plant and animal species of rare or endangered
status, habitats or communities of unique or limited distribution, or
physical factors which play a key role in regional ecological processes
(1).
Topographically, the site consists of relatively level land situated
in a broad, shallow valley. The valley contains an intermittent stream
which is tributary to San Marcos Creek and Batiquitos Lagoon, located ap-
proximately two miles southwest. Elevations on the site range from 100
to 200 feet MSL. Soils on the site are primarily Visalia, Salinas, and
Altamont series (2). The subject property is currently vacant with the
exception of a residential access drive which bisects the site. The area
has been used for agricultural uses in the past, including the cultiva-
tion of crops and grazing, and is currently fallow. Water resources on
the site include the intermittent stream which has been confined to a
channel along the eastern border of the property. A small man-made pond
occurs near the southern boundary.
METHODS
The survey was conducted on-foot between the hours of 0900 and 1300.
The entire site was observed during the survey. Plants and animals were
identified in the field. A directed search was made for specific sensi-
tive plant and animal species which are known from the area and might be
expected to occur on the property. Vegetation mapping was done in the
field on a 200-scale topographic map. Wildlife observations were made
with 7 x 35 binoculars.
The weather during the survey was partly cloudy with temperatures
from 60°F to 65°F and wind of two to five knots.
RESULTS
Four plant community types were observed on the parcel (Figure 2).
These include annual grassland (44 acres), Baccharis scrub (24 acres),
mesic lowlands and freshwater marsh (13 acres), and disturbed mixed chap-
arral (1 acre). The annual grassland consists primarily of introduced
annual grass species, such as wild oats and soft cheat, and the Baccharis
scrub consists of annual grasses with a sparse overstory of coyote brush
(Baccharis pilularis). Mesic habitat on the parcel consists of fresh-
water marsh species, including cattail (Typha dominqensis) and giant bul-
rush (Scirpus californicus) along the stream channel and around the pond.
Mixed chaparral, which occurs on the uplands near the northwestern end of
the parcel, includes approximatley one acre of disturbed chaparral within

the project boundary. A list of vascular plant species observed on the
property is given in Attachment 1 (3).
A total of 6 mammal, 30 bird, 1 reptile, and 1 amphibian species were
identified on the property. Valley pocket gophers (Thomomys bottae) were
common throughout the site, as were brown towhee, western meadowlark,
yellow-rumped warbler, and house finch. Red-winged blackbirds were abun-
dant in the mesic areas. Two raptor species, red-tailed hawk and Ameri-
can kestrel, were observed foraging over the property. The eucalyptus
trees in the northwest corner of the property provide perching and proba-
bly nesting sites for the hawks. Black-tailed gnatcatcher, a sensitive
species in San Diego County, was observed in the Baccharis scrub. A list
of wildlife species observed on the property is given in Attachment 2
(3).
Based on previous records for the vicinity of the project site and
observations of habitat occurring on the parcel, a directed search was
made for several sensitive plant and animal species which were considered
to have a potential for occurrence on the site. These include San Diego
thornmint (Acanthomintha ilicifolia), thread-leaved brodiaea (Brodiaea
filifolia), Del Mar manzanita (Arctostaphylos glandulosa crassifolia),
marsh hawk. Cooper's hawk, black-tailed gnatcatcher, and grasshopper
sparrow. Of these, Del Mar manzanita was observed off-site near the
northwestern boundary and black-tailed gnatcatcher was observed in the
Baccharis scrub habitat on the northern portion of the parcel. The
freshwater habitat on the site is considered a sensitive habitat.
DISCUSSION
Implementation of the proposed project will involve the construction
of a golf course on the subject parcel. The proposed plan shows the
preservation of the current channel for the intermittent stream and the
preservation of the existing pond. Additionally, the project would con-
struct four more ponds, having more than ten times as much water surface
area than currently exists. The remainder of the parcel would be con-
verted to fairways and greens, representing a reduction in wildlife
habitat value.
Although black-tailed gnatcatcher was observed on the site, its pri-
mary habitat is coastal sage scrub, extensive areas of which occur imme-
diately off-site to the north.
Impacts associated with the project are not considered to be signifi-
cant because no population of sensitive plant, animal species, or sensi-
tive habitat would be significantly affected, and most of the parcel's
wetland and open space resource would be maintained.
No mitigation on measures are required to avoid significant adverse
impacts to biological resources.
Additionally, this project is subject to review by the California De-
partment of Fish and Game under the provisions of Sections 1600-1603 of
the California Fish and Came Code, Chapter Six, requiring that the appli-
cant file a Streambed Alteration Notification prior to commencement of
construction operations. Plans to alter the streambed for construction
of the golf course may be subject to negotiations between the applicant
and the California Department of Fish and Came.
