INTRODUCTION The Califomia Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"), Pub. Res. Code §§ 21000 - 21177, must be interpreted "so as to afford the fiillest possible protection to the envirormient within the reasonable scope of the statutory language." Friends of Mammoth v. Board of Supervisors, 8 Cal. App. 3d 247, 259 (1972). If an EIR fails to provide agency decision-makers and the public with all relevant information regarding a project that is necessary for informed decision-making and informed public participation, the EIR is legally deficient and the agency's decision must be set aside. Kings County Farm Bureau v. City of Hanford, 221 Cal. App. 3d 692, 712 (1990). An EIR is "aptly described as the 'heart of CEQA'"; its purpose is to inform the public and its responsible officials of the environmental consequences before they are made. Laurel Heights Improvement Assoc. v. University of California, 47 Cal.3d 376, 392 (1988). Here, the EIR is inadequate. INADEQUA TE DISCUSSION OF PROJECT IMPACTS Generally, there are at least two overarching problems with the EIR. First, the EIR generally considers only impacts associated with developing an additional 35,417 square feet of gross leasable area. See e.g., EIR at 4.2-19. In this sense, the EIR is guilty of project splitting, in that this additional gross leasable area is not a stand-alone project, but part of the larger commercial and related uses associated with the 1,186,509 square feet of gross leasable area in Westfield Carlsbad. "Environmental considerations do not become submerged by chopping a large project into many little ones - which cumulatively may have disastrous consequences." Bozung v. LAFCO (1975) 13 Cal.3d 263, 283 - 84; see also CEQA Guidelines § 15378(a). Comments re Westfiel^carlsbad EIR October 19,2012 Page 2 of4 Second, the EIR adopts an incorrect baseline for much of its discussion, reasoning that the "existing" environment includes occupancy of the vacant Robinsons-May store. See e.g., EIR at 4.12-2 & 4.13-3. However, CEQA specifically provides that an agency must consider the existing conditions. See Communities for a Better Environment v. South Coast Air Quality Management Dist. (2010) 48 Cal.4* 310, 322 (describing analysis that used the maximum permitted operational levels as a baseline as "'illusory' comparisons that 'can only mislead the public as to the reality of the impacts and subvert the full consideration of the actual environmental impacts,' a result at direct odds with CEQA's intent"). As the EIR acknowledges, the Robinsons-May store is vacant. See EIR at ES-1 (noting "unoccupied former Robinsons-May building"). As such, the existing on-the-ground conditions do not include use of the store. The EIR's discussion of land use impacts is insufficient. Although the EIR discusses certain Housing Element objectives, it fails to discuss the Housing Element's designation of the site for mixed use with 285 high density units. See EIR 4.9-14 & 4.9- 3. Nor is there discussion about how proceeding with the Project is likely to impede the City's ability to meet this specific Housing Element designation. The EIR should provide a realistic discussion of this issue, particularly since the Project will result in the elimination of 471 parking spaces yet provide for more than 35,000 additional gross leasable area. It is unrealistic to think that the site will be able to accommodate mixed use in a manner consistent with the Housing Element's designations when the Project will already severely constrain parking on-site. The EIR fails to discuss the designation by SANDAG of the site as a Smart Growth site. See Exhibit 1. SANDAG has described the site as a possible "Town Center," having a potential for "200 to 400 multi-family residential units." Id. Despite this, the Project fails to provide any mixed use opportunities or even to provide for the possibility of such uses in the ftiture. Additionally, the EIR fails to discuss additional opportunities for bikes and other means of altemative transportation, despite the fact that the EIR acknowledges these objectives in the City's Circulation Element. See EIR at 4.9-12 & 13. This is a particularly striking omission in light of the EIR's acknowledgement that at present "Westfield Carlsbad is a vehicle-oriented shopping center." EIR at 3-9. The EIR also fails to discuss the existing Envision Carlsbad process, despite the fact that substantial progress has been made on possible amendments to the City's General Plan. The EIR should discuss the potential consistency or inconsistency associated with such efforts and this Project. The EIR fails to provide an adequate discussion of biological resource impacts. For example, the EIR fails to consider likely noise impacts to sensitive species along nearby Buena Vista Creek and Lagoon. The EIR briefly mentions the possibility of "indirect" impacts to biological resources along the creek, but fails entirely to consider Comments re Westfielc^arlsbad EIR October 19, 2012 Page 3 of4 the effect noise can have on creek and lagoon species. EIR at 5-14. The EIR also fails to discuss the potential for impacts to wetlands and U.S. waters, despite the fact that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers sent the City a letter waming of the need for permitting associated with such impacts. And the EIR fails to discuss the existing inadequacies associated with buffers for both the creek and lagoon. See Febmary 16, 2010 comments on NOP from Preserve Calavera. The EIR fails to provide an adequate discussion of traffic impacts. Among other things, the EIR should consider the very likely possibility that roadway improvements currently called for in existing plans will not take place. EIR at 4.12-13. With budgetary constraints only getting tighter, and in light of several recent projects that have not been funded the EIR should provide analysis that assumes such improvements will not occur, or at the least not occur within the timeframes expected by the relevant planning documents. The EIR fails to provide an adequate discussion of greenhouse gas emissions. GHG emissions are cumulative and, as such, constraction and operational emissions should be added together. See EIR at 4.6-19. The Project is likely to lead to water supply impacts. There is an inadequate showing of water supply for the Project. The Califomia Supreme Court recently identified three "principles for analytical adequacy under CEQA": (1) "CEQA's informational purposes are not satisfied by an EIR that simply ignores or assumes a solution to a problem of supplying water to a proposed land sue project"; (2) "an adequate environmental impact analysis for a large project, to be built and occupied over a number of years, caimot be limited to the water supply for the first stage or the first few years"; and (3) "the future water supplies identified and analyzed must bear a likelihood of actually proving available .... An EIR for a land use project must address the impacts of likely future water sources, and the EIR's discussion must include a reasoned analysis of the circumstances affecting the likelihood of the water's availability." Vineyard Area Citizens for Responsible Growth, Inc. v. City of Rancho Cordova (2007) 40 Cal.4* 412, 430 - 32 (emphasis in original) (citations omitted). The EIR fails to comply with these mandates. The EIR mentions the availability of water infrastracture and briefly describes existing water usage, but there is inadequate discussion of the potential available or possible shortages of future water supplies for the Project and the area. The EIR fails to discuss cumulative water quality impacts, including those associated with recent sewage spills into Buena Vista Lagoon. Another spill occurred as recently as October 7, 2012. Comments re Westfielc^arlsbad EIR October 19,2012 Page 4 of 4 INADEQUA TE AL TERNA TIVES ANAL YSIS CEQA requires that an EIR "produce information sufficient to permit a reasonable choice of altematives so far as environmental aspects are concemed." San Bernardino Valley Audubon Society v. County of San Bernardino (1984) 155 Cal.App.3d 738, 750 -51. "[T]he discussion of altematives shall focus on altematives to the project or its location which are capable of avoiding or substantially lessening any significant effects of the project, even if these altematives would impede to some degree the attainment of the project objectives, or would be more costly." CEQA Guidelines § 15126.6(b). "Without meaningful analysis of altematives in the EIR, neither the courts nor the public can fiilfill their proper roles in the CEQA process." Laurel Heights Improvement Assoc. v. University of California (1988) 47 Cal.3d 376, 404. CEQA contains a "substantive mandate" that agencies refrain from approving a project with significant environmental effects if "there are feasible altematives or mitigation measures" that can substantially lessen or avoid those effects. Mountain Lion Foundation v. Fish and Game Comm. (1997) 16 Cal.4* 105, 134; Pub. Res. Code § 21002. It "requires public agencies to deny approval of a project with significant adverse effects when feasible altematives or feasible mitigation measures can substantially lessen such effects." Sierra Club v. Gilroy (1990) 222 Cal.App.3d 30, 41. Here, the EIR fails to consider a smart growth alternative, despite the fact that the City's own Housing Element, as well as SANDAG, call for mixed uses on the site. This is particularly the case since mixed use on the site is likely to reduce impacts. Additionally, the EIR fails to clearly define the environmentally superior altemative. Furthermore, the Project and its objectives are defined too narrowly, thereby resulting in a narrowing of the consideration of altematives to the Project. City of Santee V. County of San Diego (1989) 214 Cal.App.3d 1438, 1455. NEED TO RECIRCULA TE THE EIR The EIR is sufficiently lacking that the only way to fix these issues is to revise it and recirculate an adequate report. CONCLUSION Thank you for your consideration of the above comments. If you have a question or need additional information, please contact me. Sincerely, verett DeLano EXHIBIT 1 SANIMGt BOARD OF DIRECTORS JANUARY 27, 2012 11 AGENDA ITEM NO. 12-01- ACTION REQUESTED - ACCEPT TECHNICAL UPDATE OF THE SMART GROWTH CONCEPT MAP File Number 3100000 Introduction In 2008, the Board of Directors accepted the current version of the Smart Growth Concept Map for planning purposes and for the first round of the TransNet Smart Growth Incentive Program. Last October, the Board adopted the 2050 Regional Transportation Plan and its Sustainable Communities Strategy (2050 RTP/SCS), which includes land use inputs from the 2050 Regional Growth Forecast. The approval of the 2050 RTP/SCS provides an opportunity to update, from a technical standpoint, the map's underlying land use and transportation data. Attachment 1 summarizes the specific changes made to the map between 2008 and 2012; Attachment 2 provides the updated Regional and Subregional-Scale Smart Growth Concept Maps; and Attachment 3 provides the updated Site Descriptions. Discussion Recommendation The Regional Planning Committee recommends that the Board of Directors accept the updated Smart Growth Concept Map and corresponding Site Descriptions in substantially the same form as attached to the report (Attachments 2 and 3) for planning purposes and for use in SANDAG smart growth incentive programs. Background In 2004, the Board adopted the Regional Comprehensive Plan (RCP) for the San Diego region, which provides an overall vision and policy framework for better connecting transportation and land use within the region, and promotes smart growth and sustainabiiity. One of the RCP early actions was the development of a "Smart Growth Concept Map," illustrating the location of existing, planned, and potential "smart growth opportunity areas" for use in updating the RTP and determining eligibility for smart growth-related incentives. The Board accepted the original map in June 2006 for planning purposes for the 2030 RTP, and accepted a technical update in July 2008 for the first round ofthe TransNet Smart Growth Incentive Program (SGIP) grants based on the 2030 Regional Growth Forecast and the 2030 RTP. SANDAG and the local jurisdictions worked collaboratively to prepare the original and updated maps. Process to Update the Map The Regional Planning Committee, the Regional Planning Technical Working Group (planning directors from the 19 local jurisdictions), and SANDAG staff have been working together on the technical update through a series of steps. The first step consisted of updating the map with the local land use inputs included in the 2050 Regional Growth Forecast to achieve consistency with land use assumptions included in the 2050 RTP/SCS. The second step consisted of updating the transportation component with the final network contained in the 2050 RTP/SCS. The third and most recent step consisted of review, input, and action by the Regional Planning and Transportation Committees, and today, by the Board of Directors. Smart Growth Place Types and Minimum Targets The Smart Growth Concept Map contains seven smart growth "place types" included in the RCP. These include Metropolitan Center, Urban Center, Town Center, Community Center, Rural Village, Mixed-Use Transit Corridor, and Special Use Center. Collectively, the map contains approximately 200 smart growth opportunity areas identified by the local jurisdictions that reflect the various place types. The areas are designated as either "Existing/Planned" or "Potential." These designations are based on whether the areas meet minimum housing, employment, and transportation targets identified in the RCP for each smart growth place type, as listed below. (As part of the technical update, the transit service characteristics have been updated to reflect new transit services included in the 2050 RTP/SCS.) Minimum Land Use and Transportation Targets Smart Growth Place Type Minimum Residential Target Minimum Employment Target M i n imum Transit Service Characteristics Metropolitan Center 75 du/ac 80 emp/ac Commuter Rail, Express Light Rail Transit (LRT), or Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Urban Center 40 du/ac 50 emp/ac LRT or Rapid Bus Town Center 20 du/ac 30 emp/ac LRT, Rapid Bus, or Streetcar/Shuttle Community Center 20 du/ac N/A High-Frequency Peak-Period Local Bus or Streetcar/Shuttle within Urban Area Transit Strategy Boundary Rural Village 10.9 du/ac N/A N/A Special Use Center Optional 45 emp/ac LRT, Rapid Bus, or Peak BRT Mixed-Use Transit Corridor 25 du/ac N/A High-Frequency Peak-Period Local Bus or Streetcar/Shuttle du/ac = dwelling units/acre emp/ac = employees per acre Existing/Planned smart growth areas are locations that either contain existing smart growth development or allow planned smart growth in accordance with RCP land use targets, and are accompanied by existing or planned transit services included in the 2050 RTP/SCS. Areas must meet both the land use and the transit service targets to qualify as Existing/Planned. Potential smart growth areas are locations where smart growth development could occur if local land use plans were changed and/or if the 2050 RTP/SCS was modified to include minimum levels of planned transit service. The technical update of the Smart Growth Concept Map does not change any of the place types or minimum targets, but rather updates the underlying land use and transportation data on the map. A more comprehensive update ofthe Concept Map could be considered during the RCP update. Relationship to TransNet Smart Growth Incentive Program Currently, only areas identified on the Smart Growth Concept Map are eligible to compete for TransNet SGIP funds. In the current criteria, the Existing/Planned smart growth areas are eligible to compete for both capital and planning grants, and the Potential smart growth areas are eligible to compete only for planning grants. The SGIP evaluation criteria will be updated before the next call- for-projects, with input from the Transportation and Regional Planning Committees and the Board of Directors. The criteria may be revised based on a number of factors including lessons learned from the first round of grants, recommendations resulting from the 2050 RTP/SCS, policy direction resulting from the Regional Housing Needs Assessment process, and/or additional input from policymakers. The next TransNet SGIP call-for-projects is anticipated this summer. Summary of Types of Changes and Key Findings Types of Changes The technical update has resulted in the following types of changes: 1. Updated land use intensities in smart growth opportunity areas based on the 2050 Regional Growth Forecast; 2. Updated transit routes and services based on the Final 2050 RTP transportation network; 3. Refinements to smart growth opportunity area boundaries or place types, as initiated by local jurisdiction planning staffs; 4. Changes in status (from Potential to Existing/Planned or vice versa) for individual areas based on any of the three factors listed above; 5. Addition of areas at the request of local jurisdiction planning staffs (no deletions were requested); 6. Updated habitat layers based on those included in the 2050 RTP/SCS; and 7. Renumbering of various areas for greater ease in locating them on the map. Key Findings While the technical update incorporates updated land use and transportation data, the two maps remain fairly similar from a regional standpoint. Specifically, both maps contain approximately 200 smart growth opportunity areas, with most of the areas concentrated in the western third of the San Diego region. While the 2008 map contained 43 percent Existing/Planned areas, the 2012 map contains 75 percent Existing/Planned areas. This increase reflects the significant work by local jurisdictions during the last several years on updating local general and specific plans with higher density and mixed-use land uses in the smart growth opportunity areas and the incorporation of those land use inputs into the 2050 Regional Growth Forecast, as well as the coordination of transit services to those areas through the 2050 RTP/SCS. Board action today to accept the technical update of the Smart Growth Concept Map would provide an accurate baseline for eligibility by local jurisdictions to compete for TransNet SGIP funds, and would provide an updated map for planning purposes related to the RCP update and other related efforts.

Smart Growth Concept Map Site Descriptions (January 27, 2012) Key Staff Contact: Carolina Gregor, (619) 699-1989, Carolina.Gregor@sandag.org Attachment 1 Summary of Changes between the 2008 and 2012 Smart Growth Concept Maps January 27, 2012 The following is a summary of changes between the 2008 and 2012 versions of the Smart Growth Concept Map. While the 2012 map reflects updated underlying land use and transportation data and a number of other changes (as listed below), overall, from a regional perspective the two maps remain fairly similar. Specifically, both maps contain approximately 200 smart growth opportunity areas, with most of the areas concentrated in the western third of the San Diego region. While the 2008 map contained 43 percent Existing/Planned areas and 57 percent Potential areas, the 2012 map increases the Existing/Planned areas to 75 percent and decreases the Potential areas to 25 percent. The increase in Existing/Planned areas reflects the significant work by local jurisdictions during the last several years on updating local general and specific plans with higher density and mixed use land uses in the smart growth opportunity areas and the incorporation of those land use inputs into the 2050 Regional Growth Forecast, as well as the coordination of transit services to those areas through the 2050 Regional Transportation Plan and its Sustainable Communities Strategy (2050 RTP/SCS). The following summary provides more specific information about the changes between the two maps. Updated Land Use Intensities in Smart Growth Opportunity Areas Based on changes between the 2030 Regional Growth Forecast, which was accepted for planning purposes in 2006, and the 2050 Regional Growth Forecast, which was accepted for planning purposes in 2011, the land use intensities increased in many smart growth opportunity areas. Between these years, many jurisdictions updated their local general plans and/or specific plans, and these updates were reflected in the 2050 Regional Growth Forecast. Examples.include the City of San Diego General Plan Update (adopted in 2008), the County of San Diego General Plan Update (adopted in 2011), the National City General Plan Update (adopted in 2011), and sizable rezoning efforts in eastern Chula Vista and the Bayfront Master Plan in western Chula Vista. Updated Transit Routes The SANDAG Board of Directors adopted the 2050 RTP/SCS in October 2011. The new transit services in the 2050 RTP/SCS were incorporated into the Smart Growth Concept Map, including the plan's four new trolley lines; double-tracking of the COASTER and SPRINTER Lines; Express Light Rail Transit (LRT) services along various trolley lines and the SPRINTER line; numerous new Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) and Rapid Bus routes; new streetcar/shuttle routes; and additional high-frequency local bus routes. Refinements to Boundaries or Place Types Boundary Changes - About 20 Areas: Through the technical update, many local planning staffs requested boundary changes to areas on the map. Excluding the other types of changes listed below, the boundaries of approximately 20 areas were modified based upon those requests. Place Type Changes (Areas that Changed in Place Type Designation and/or Areas that were Merged/Split) - 19 Areas: Through the technical update, many jurisdictions requested changes in place type designations (for example, from a Community Center to a Town Center, or from a Town Center to an Urban Center) or the merging or splitting of areas. These are summarized below. • Chula Vista o CV-4 (Downtown Village at S''' and F) - Changed from Existing/Planned Community Center to Existing/Planned Town Center o CV-8 (Otay Ranch Village 8) - Changed from Potential Community Center to Existing/Planned Town Center o CV-10 (Otay Ranch Village 1) - Changed from Existing/Planned Community Center to Existing/Planned Town Center o CV-12 (Otay Ranch Village 5) - Changed from Existing/Planned Community Center to Existing/Planned Town Center o CV-13 (Otay Ranch Village 6) - Changed from Potential Community Center to Existing/Planned Town Center • Del Mar o DM-1 (Camino Del Mar and 10th Street) - Changed from Potential Community Center to Existing/Planned Town Center • El Cajon o EC-1 (Downtown El Cajon) - Previous Potential Community Center and Existing/Planned Town Center were merged into one new Existing/Planned Urban Center • Escondido o ES-7 (Westfield Shoppingtown) - Changed from Potential Community Center to Existing/Planned Special Use Center • Imperial Beach o IB-2 (Seacoast Drive and Palm Avenue) - Two previous Existing/Planned Mixed Use Transit Corridors were merged into one new Existing/Planned Mixed Use Transit Corridor • National City o NC-1 and NC-2 (Downtown National City and Westside Specific Plan Area) - Previous Existing/Planned Town Center was split into an Existing/Planned Urban Center to reflect the Downtown Specific Plan and an Existing/Planned Town Center to reflect the Westside Specific Plan o NC-5 (Paradise Valley Hospital Area) - Changed from Potential Community Center to Existing/Planned Town Center • Oceanside o OC-3 (Crouch Street Sprinter Station) - Changed from Potential Community Center to Existing/Planned Mixed Use Transit Corridor • San Diego o Barrio Logan - SD-BL-1 (Area south of Commercial Street and north of State Route 75) - Changed from Existing/Planned Community Center to Existing/Planned Urban Center o Carmel Valley - SD-CV-1 (Area around El Camino Real and Del Mar Heights Road) - Changed from Potential Community Center to Existing/Planned Town Center o Encanto - SE-EN-2 (Euclid and Market Trolley Station Area) - Changed from Potential Community Center to Existing/Planned Town Center o Navajo - SD-NV-1 (Interstate 8 [1-8], Friars Road, San Diego River, Mission Gorge Road) - Changed from Existing/Planned Town Center to Existing/Planned Urban Center o Peninsula - SD-PA-1 (Rosecrans Street corridor) - Changed from Existing/Planned Mixed Use Transit Corridor to Existing/Planned Town Center o Uptown - SD-UP-5 (Hillcrest commercial core) - Previous Existing/Planned Special Use Center (UCSD Medical Center) was merged into Existing/Planned Urban Center • Santee o ST-1 (Santee Town Center) - Previous Existing/Planned Town Center and Potential Community Center were merged into one new Existing/Planned Town Center Changes in Status Through the technical update, many areas changed in status from Potential to Existing/Planned or from Existing/Planned to Potential based upon updates to local land use plans as reflected in the 2050 Regional Growth Forecast or updates to transit services as reflected in the 2050 RTP/SCS.

(This area meets the residential density threshold but does not contain qualifying transit running the length ofthe corridor.) Addition of Areas Through the technical update, jurisdictions were asked whether any smart growth opportunity areas should be added to or deleted from the map. Jurisdictions requested the addition of 12 areas, as listed below. The status ofthe areas (either Existing/Planned or Potential) was determined based on whether the new areas met the thresholds for their place type. No requests for deletions were made. New Smart Growth Opportunity Areas (12 areas) • National City o NC-3 (Highland between northern and southern city boundaries and along Mile of Cars between Highland and 1-5) - New Existing/Planned Mixed Use Transit Corridor o NC-4 (Sth Street between Highland Ave and 1-805) - New Existing/Planned Mixed Use Transit Corridor o NC-7 (18th Street between Highland and Rachel Avenue) - New Existing/Planned Mixed Use Transit Corridor • City of San Diego o Barrio Logan - SD-BL-2 (East of Main Street, West of 1-5, South of SR 75, and North of 28th Street West) - New Existing/Planned Town Center o SDSU College area - SD-CO-3 (Alvarado Medical Center and trolley station area) - New Existing/Planned Town Center o Eastern Area - SD-EA-3 (University Avenue from Chollas Parkway to La Mesa) - New Existing/Planned Mixed Use Transit Corridor o La Jolla - SD-LJ-3 (La Jolla Boulevard from Mesa Way to Westbourne Street) - New Existing/Planned Mixed Use Transit Corridor o Navajo - SD-NV-2 (Along Mission Gorge Road north of Zion) - New Potential Town Center • Santee o ST-2 (Cuyamaca Street between Mission Gorge and Prospect) - New Potential Mixed Use Transit Corridor o ST-3 (Magnolia Ave and Mast Blvd) - New Potential Community Center • Vista o VS-3 (Vista Village Transit Center) - New Existing/Planned Community Center • County of San Diego o CN-10 (Unincorporated Area: Jamacha Blvd at Sweetwater Springs) - New Potential Community Center 11 Updated Habitat Lands The 2012 Smart Growth Concept Map includes more habitat land than the 2008 map. This is primarily because the County of San Diego made significant progress on the Multiple Species Conservation Plan (MSCP) North area during this time period. While the land north of SR 78 is proposed conserved habitat land, it is included in the County General Plan and therefore is shown in all ofthe land use maps in the 2050 RTP/SCS. Figure 3.20 (San Diego Region Habitat Conservation Lands) in the 2050 RTP/SCS shows both conserved habitat lands as of 2011 and proposed conserved habitat lands, for those interested in seeing the distinctions between the two. As part of the technical update, the habitat layer used in the 2050 RTP/SCS was incorporated into the 2012 map. The legend on the map has been changed to "Conserved or Proposed Habitat Lands" for consistency with the 2050 RTP/SCS. Renumbering of Areas As part of the technical update, the smart growth opportunity areas in various jurisdictions and communities were renumbered for greater ease in sequentially locating the areas on the maps. Areas where renumbering occurred include: Carlsbad Chula Vista Del Mar El Cajon Imperial Beach La Mesa Lemon Grove National City San Diego o Ciairemont Mesa o Mira Mesa o Navajo o Otay Mesa Nestor o Pacific Beach San Marcos Santee Vista 12 SmarflnlQIl SMART GROWTH CONCEPT NAP SITE DESCRIPTIONS last Updated: January 27, 2012 This document provides site descriptions for each area identified on the Smart Growth Concept Map, The San Diego Regional Comprehensive Plan (RCP) identifies seven categories of smart growth place types. The place types include: the Metropolitan Center, Urban Centers, Town Centers, Community Centers, Rural Villages, Mixed-Use Transit Corridors, and Special Use Centers. The RCP establishes land use and transportation targets for each of these areas (listed below). If the areas meet the minimum land use and transit service targets identified for their place type, they are identified as "Existing/Planned" smart growth areas. If they do not meet the targets, but have future potential, they are identified as "Potential" smart growth areas. The site descriptions included in this document are listed in alphabetical order by jurisdiction, and are coded by initials and numbers that relate to the subregional smart growth maps. The land use descriptions have been prepared by the planning staffs of local jurisdictions and the transit descriptions are based on transit services included In the 2050 Regional Transportation Plan and its Sustainable Communities Strategy (2050 RTP/SCS), adopted by the SANDAG Board in October 2011. Additional information on the Smart Growth Concept Map, the land use and transportation targets, incentives for smart growth, and other related information, is available on the SANDAG Web site at www.sandag.org/rcp. Land Use and Transportation Targets Each smart growth place type is associated with certain housing and employment density targets and transit service thresholds, and can qualify as either "Existing/Planned" or "Potential," depending upon whether it meets the thresholds specified in the RCP. The minimum land use and transit targets are listed below (with updated transit information based on the 2050 RTP/SCS). Areas must meet both the land use and the transit service targets to qualify as Existing/Planned. Smart Growth Place Type Minimum Residential Target Minimum Employment Target Minimum Transit Service Characteristics Metropolitan Center 75 du/ac 80 emp/ac Commuter RaiL Express Light Rail Transit (LRT), or Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Urban Center 40 du/ac 50 emp/ac LRT or Rapid Bus Town Center 20 du/ac 30 emp/ac LRT, Rapid Bus, or Streetcar/Shuttle* Community Center 20 du/ac N/A High-Frequency Peak-Period Local Bus or Streetcar/Shuttle within Urban Area Transit Strategy Boundary Rural Village 10.9 du/ac N/A N/A Special Use Center Optional 45 emp/ac LRT, Rapid Bus, or Peak BRT Mixed-Use Transit Corridor 25 du/ac N/A High-Frequency Peak-Period Local Bus or Streetcar/Shuttle Existing/Planned smart growth areas are locations that either contain existing smart growth development or allow planned smart growth in accordance with RCP land use targets, and are accompanied by existing or planned transit services included in the 2050 RTP/SCS. Potential smart growth areas are locations where smart growth development could occur if local land use plans are changed and/or if the 2050 RTP/SCS is modified to include minimum levels of planned transit service. Public Transit Service Characteristics: The following are the main characteristics of the public transit services referenced in the table above. (More information is available in Chapter 6 of the 2050 RTP/SCS and the Transit Service Definitions below.) • Commuter Rail / Express LRT / BRT - Designed for longer distance trips with stations spacing every four to five miles on average (e.g., COASTER, limited stop light rail (Express LRT), and/or freeway-based BRT routes). • LRT / Rapid Bus - Designed for medium distance trips with station spacing about every mile on average (e.g., Trolley and SPRINTER services, arterial based "rapid bus" routes). • High-Frequency Local Bus / Streetcar/Shuttle - Designed for shorter-distance trips with frequent stops and 15 minute peak period headways (e.g., high frequency peak period local bus services and/or future streetcar services). A cronyms/Notes: • du/ac = dwelling units per acre; emp/ac = employees per acre; N/A = Not applicable * In Town Centers, areas can be connected to LRT and/or Rapid Bus by a local transit connection or Streetcar/Shuttle service. Transit Service Definitions The 2050 RTP/SCS transit vision focuses on three key strategies: 1) improvements to the current system that will improve the convenience, travel speeds, and travel time reliability of bus and rail services; 2) implementation of new transit services that will improve transit connections and access in key urban areas and offer new service types designed to attract new riders to transit; and 3) enhancements to the transit customer experience to make transit easier, safer, and more enjoyable to use. The 2050 RTP/SCS identifies the following transit service types: Rail: The rail service type includes high speed rail and intercity rail for very long tripmaking (usually to/from points outside the region), commuter rail and express LRT that facilitate long distance regional travel, and light rail transit (LRT) which facilitates medium-distance trip making operating. Existing examples of rail service in the region include the Amtrak Pacific Surfliner, the COASTER and Metrolink, and the Trolley/SPRINTER services. Sus Rapid Transit (BRT): The BRT service type facilitates longer distance, higher-speed, regional trip-making. High operating speeds are achieved by long station spacing (4-5 miles on average) and maximizing use of dedicated rights-of-way that bypass congested areas. Dedicated rights-of-way for BRT services include taking advantage of freeway Managed Lanes/High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) facilities (managed to ensure free-flow travel for transit), along with dedicated transit guideways along key arterial corridors. All-day, all-stop trunk BRT services can be complemented with peak-period commuter express services designed to provide limited-stop connections to major employment centers. Rapid Bus: The rapid bus service type provides high speed, limited stop service in key arterial corridors. Rapid Bus utilizes a range of lower-capital cost signal priority treatments, short segments of transit-only lanes, and limited station stops to achieve faster travel times. Rapid Bus services could potentially be upgraded to more of a BRT service over time through use of dedicated transit lanes to bypass congested arterial segments. Higti-Frequency Local Bus: Local Bus services facilitate mid- to short-distance tripmaking within local communities with closer station spacing and at least 15 minute peak period frequencies. The 2050 RTP/SCS includes a network of all-day high-frequency local bus services. Local buses serve as the backbone of the transit system, providing the primary access Into local communities where fixed-route services are warranted. Streetcar/Shuttle: Streetcar/shuttle services are designed as high frequency (15 minutes or better all-day service) connectors between commuter rail/LRT/BRT/Rapid Bus stations and dense urban areas (such as downtown areas) that are located within a 5-10 minute travel time. These services focus on short-distance trips with station spacing every few blocks or every quarter-mile on average, and operate in either mixed traffic with automobiles or on a dedicated right of way. Urban Area Transit Strategy Boundary In addition to the transit services described above, the Smart Growth Concept Map contains a layer entitled "Urban Area Transit Strategy Boundary," which applies to the Community Center Place Type. This area delineates the more heavily populated regional subareas where local transit operators focus high- frequency transit services as specified in the 2050 RTP/SCS. Local peak period high-frequency transit service within the Urban Area Transit Strategy Boundary qualifies as an appropriate minimum transit service for the Community Center place type. Transit Service Pfiasing The 2050 RTP/SCS includes the phasing year that indicates by which decade a planned transit service is scheduled to begin. The Transit Service Description column specifies whether transit services are existing (in service today) or planned (in the 2050 RTP/SCS), and if they are planned, by which year they are expected to be phased in.

The Carlsbad Village COASTER Station, which provides commuter rail service, is located in the heart of the Carlsbad redevelopment area at Grand Avenue and State Street. The Village MP allows residential development up to 35 units per acre in the core village area with special emphasis around the COASTER station. Mixed residential/retail development also is encouraged. Under Carlsbad's growth management plan, 1,000 dwelling units of development have been allocated to the Village MP area. The City has recently approved revisions to the development standards for this area to increase flexibility for mixed-use, parking, and higher-density residential development. Additionally included in the smart growth opportunity area is the Barrio - an area for which the City is in the process of considering land use changes as part of the comprehensive General Plan update program. Objectives for the Barrio area include providing high-density residential and mixed-use located within convenient walking distance to transit stops. Potential land use changes may include provisions for high-density residential and mixed- use development (up to 30 dwelling units/acre), which is similar to existing allowances in the Village MP area. Existing development in the Village MP and Barrio areas include low-rise building types. The areas are currently served with commuter rail transportation service and the potential exists (unconstrained revenue scenario) for the provision of rapid bus service.

Potential development could add anywhere from 200 to 400 multi-family residential units and additional retail square footage to the 1.1 million square feet of retail floor space existing within the mall. Development would occur adjacent to the retail structures on the city-owned parking lot area, and could include transportation improvements, such as a relocation of the existing transit station. This smart growth opportunity area is currently served with high-frequency local transportation service, and two existing rapid bus transit stations are located in the eastern portion of the opportunity area. Additional light/commuter rail service exists at the El Camino Real North County Transit District (NCTD) SPRINTER station at ElCamino Real and Oceanside Boulevard, located approximately V/i miles north of the project site. Community The City is processing applications by McMillin Center Development to develop a mixed-use project on approximately 100 acres of land at and west of the former rock quarry located south of Marron Road and west of College Avenue, near the Carlsbad boundary with the City of Oceanside. The opportunity area is located approximately a quarter mile south of SR 78 and approximately IV2 miles south of College Boulevard SPRINTER Station, which provides light/commuter raii service from Escondido to Oceanside. Preliminary discussions have focused on exploring a project that may include several hundred residential units with mid- to high- densities, together with commercial (office and/or retail) uses and possible public gathering places. The opportunity area also is located within close proximity to: SR 78; high frequency local transportation routes; potential rapid bus routes (unconstrained revenue scenario); a retail shopping center containing a Wal-Mart anchor tenant; and, institutional centers that include Tri-City Hospital (within % mile) and Mira Costa College (within 1 mile).

Preserve Calavera is a grassroots conservation organization whose goal is to preserve, protect and enhance the natural resources of coastal North San Diego Cotmty. Our primary concems with the proposed Westfield project are what it doesn't do- it doesn't address any future ability to achieve the 250 housing units included in the city's Housing Element, it doesn't provide any enhancement of creek function in this impaired section of the watershed, and it doesn't integrate this site with other changes happening in the surrounding area. The result is that everyone who drives or visits this area will be affected by the increased traffic, air pollution and noise - and there are no offsetting community benefits. Other cities have used creek enhancements as the centerpiece of commercial development, integrating it into site planning and making such areas pedestrian friendly- and real regional destinations. Instead, Buena Vista Creek continues to be treated like a drainage ditch- something to be kept on the far side of a parking lot- out of sight and out of mind. What a missed opportunity to both enhance the creek and the shopping center! We urge you to include a concept plan for integrating housing and making this a real Smart Gro Wfth project and enhancing the reach of Buena Vista Creek that is within and adjacent to the Westfield owned project site. We submitted comments on the project scoping on February 16, 2010. While these comments are included in the attachments to the DEIR we do not find that any of them have been adequately addressed. The following are our specific comments on the DEIR: Project Description/Land Use - While this project includes design guidelines that are supposed to address the entire site and future phases of construction they do not include any provisions related to future housing. If the 250 affordable housing units included in the city's adopted Housing. 5020 Nighthawk Way - Oceanside, CA 92056 www.preservecalavera.org Element for this site are not built here they will need to be built somewhere else. This is a potential indirect impact that has not been addressed. The project boundaries seem to have been arbitrarily defined. Lines are drawn through the middle of parking lots. Lines are drawn within buffer zones of the creek. Lines seem to be drawn to avoid complexity of land use, physical characteristics and jurisdictional boimdaries. However doing so results in creating an island in what fimctions as a single integrated site and proposing development guidelines without regard for what will occur on the other side of these arbitrary lines. The result of that is that there are numerous indirect potential impacts that have not been identified or mitigated. For example how is run-off controlled in the middle of a parking lot where only part of it is subject to the new guidelines? - The city of Carlsbad has reviewed and commented on the proposed Inns at Buena Vista Creek project in Oceanside that is adjacent to the northwest comer of this project. That project proposes a bridge over Buena Vista Creek with access through Westfield Mall. It does not appear that this project has considered the combined impacts of the proposed expansion on site, plus the additional traffic and changed travel pattems that will occur with the addition of three hotels on the project border. Please clarify how this Oceanside project has been addressed. Segregating this project to expand commercial square footage and reduce parking includes no provisions for the anticipated future changes to this site. This could result in piecemealing of the assessment of the envirormiental impacts. Please clarify how this project is consistent with the adopted General Plan Housing Element for this site that includes 250 homes and how it has been determined that ignoring this element of the General Plan does not constitute piecemealing which is not allowed under CEQA. Biological Resources The project boundaries have not been consistent in terms of how they are treating the reach of Buena Vista Creek that goes through and along the boimdaries of the Westfield owned parcel. On the northeast comer of the project it appears that the project boundaries are within the buffer zone to Buena Vista Creek, yet the analysis assumes there are no impacts. Please provide figures that delineate the creek buffers and identify specifically how the project is consistent with the City of Carlsbad Stream Buffer Guidelines. Any project in this area should include full compliance with Stream Buffer Guidelines and restoration of the creek buffers. - Please explain why the project boundary has been designed to exclude the creek buffer on the northwest comer of the project? This area is managed by Westfield and has historically been a problem for homeless encampments that have not been adequately enforced. Development along the creek creates additional attractants for transients. This is an edge effect of development that has not been addressed in spite of this having been a chronic problem in this area. Pleased add a mitigation measure for monitoring and enforcement of transient encampments. - This project is only a few feet from the boundaries of the coastal zone and the impaired Buena Vista Lagoon. A plan for a major restoration of the lagoon has been underway for years with an EIR anticipated within the next few months. Pleased discuss what impact of any this project would have on this fiiture restoration of the lagoon. Transportation - The City of Carlsbad has adopted guidelines to implement Complete Streets as required by state law. There appears to be very little if any enhancement of pedestrian/bicycle/transit movement through the project site- in spite of the huge increase in traffic that will affect the ease and safety for bicyclists and pedestrians. Please describe and provide illustrations of what is being done to improve access for all modes of altemative transportation, including public transit. This should include the identification of any future trail connections through this site. - Please clarify that all traffic impacts will be fully mitigated without the RDO interchange or the extension of Marron Rd from El Camino Real to College. - El Camino Real is already a highly congested corridor which will only be worse with this project. Since there are significant traffic impacts at least one project altemative should be designed to minimize those impacts. Reducing the square footage alone as has been done with the proposed altematives has not eliminated these impacts. More effort should be put into coming up with an altemative that increases revenue (which clearly is the primary objective of this project) without all of the adverse impacts. Thank you for your consideration of these comments. We look forward to working with you to improve this project- in a way that respects Buena Vista Creek and this important coastal watershed.

MEMORANDUM TO: Stephen Fluhr, Westfield LLC FROM: Pat Gibson, P.E., FTOE, Brian Hartshorn, and Richard Gibson DATE: October 18, 2012 RE: Response to Comments for the Westfield Carlsbad Expansion Project From CALTRANS Carlsbad, California Ref:J1017 Gibson Transportation Consulting, Inc. (GTC) was asked to respond to comments made by California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) regarding the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) for the Westfield Carlsbad project. This memorandum provides our responses to comments from Caltrans dated October 16, 2012. CALTRANS COMMENTS "The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) appreciates the opportunity to review the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) for the Westfield Carlsbad project located south of State Route 78 (SR-78) and east of Interstate 5 (1-5). Caltrans has the following comments:" Comment #1 "Traffic Impact Studv (TIS): • Page 42: Intersection Operations, as shown in Table 15, under Existing Baseline Conditions shows that all of the analyzed intersections are projected to operate at an acceptable Level of Service (LOS), i.e. LOS D or better. However, Detailed LOS worksheets provided in Appendix F show the following: o SR-78 Westbound (WB)/EI Camino Real: PM Peak for the Existing Baseline Conditions shows "LOS E" for the WB left-turn lane and WB right turn lane. It also shows "LOS F" for northbound (NB) left turn lane, o SR-78 Eastbound (EB)/EI Camino Real: AM & PM Peak for the Existing Baseline Conditions dhows "LOS E" for the EB left-turn lane and southbound (SB) left turn lane. o SR-78 WB/Jefferson Street: AM Peak for the Existing Baseline Conditions shows "LOS E" for the shared lane on the ramp (number two lane) and the SB left turn lane." 523 W. 6th street, Suite 1234 Los Angeles, CA 90014 p. 213.683.0088 f. 213.683.0033 Mr. Stephen Fluhr October 18, 2012 Page 2 Comment #2 "Volumes used for Existing Baseline Conditions appear too low. 1-5 Ramps & Carlsbad Village Drive: o NB Ramps AM/PM Peak: • Caltrans 2008: 575/667 vecicles per hour (vph) • Rick Engineering-TIS: 464/621 vph • Gibson Transportation Inc. - Appendix F, Page 669 (2009): 429/611 vph o SB Ramps AM/PM Peak • Caltrans 2008: 430-569 vph • Rick Engineering - TIS: 355/531 vph • Gibson Transportation Inc. - Appendix F, Page 669 (2009): 308-513 vph Table 38: Gibson Transportation Inc., Existing Baseline Conditions ILV/Hour, Peak Hour Volumes (PHV) appear too low: o SR 78 & Jefferson Street WB Ramps: AM/PM 330/631 o SR 78 & Jefferson Street EB Ramps: AM/PM 331-736 Caltrans Peak Hour Volumes (2008) o SR 78 & Jefferson Street WB On-Ramp: AM/PM 625/764 o SR 78 & Jefferson Street WB Off-Ramp: AM/PM 542/516 o SR 78 & Jefferson Street EB On-Ramp: AM/PM 349/508 o SR 78 & Jefferson Street EB Off AM/PM 781/1026 Table 38: Gibson Transportation Inc., Existing Baseline Condition ILV/Hour, Peak Hour Volumes (PHV) appear too low: o El Camino Real OC & SR 78 WB Ramps: AM/PM 859/1026 o El Camino Real OC & SR 78 EB Ramps: AM/PM 753/1074 Caltrans Peak Hour Volumes (2008) o SR-78 & El Camino Real overcrossing (OC) & WB On-Ramp: AM/PM 595/649 o SR-78 & El Camino Real OC & WB Off-Ramp: AM/PM 1017/1243 o SR-78 & El Camino Real OC & EB On-Ramp: AM/PM 981/1179 o SR-78 & El Camino Real OC & EB Off-Ramp: AM/PM 502/782" GIBSON TRANSPORTATION CONSULTING INC. RESPONSES Response to Comment #1 This comment questions why, if an individual intersection approach operates at an LOS worse than LOS D was the intersection considered to be operating at acceptable LOS. For this project the acceptable LOS thresholds are established by the Cities of Carlsbad and Oceanside and are based on the LOS ofthe entire signalized intersection, not individual approach LOS. The City of Carlsbad uses the SANTEC/ITE Guidelines for Traffic Impact Studies in the San Diego Region as the basis for acceptable levels of service and significant impact criteria. The guidelines state "In general, the region-wide goal for an acceptable level of service (LOS) on all freeways, roadway segments, and intersections is 'D.'" The guidelines do not make mention intersection directional approaches. Mr. Stephen Fluhr October 18, 2012 Pages The City of Oceanside, which also uses the SANTEC/ITE Guidelines for Traffic Impact Studies in the San Diego Region, further supports the use of LOS D as an acceptable LOS D for the entire intersection in their Circulation Etement which states that the objective of Oceanside is to "Aim for an acceptable LOS D or better on all Circulation Element roadways on an average daily basis and at intersections during the AM and PM peak periods." In addition, Caltrans does not use HCM methodology cited in the comment to analyze intersection operations; they use the Intersection Lane Volumes (ILV) methodology which also analyzes the operation of the entire intersection. As such, Caltrans does not have any significant impact standards that relate to this type of analysis Response to Comment #2 This response addresses several comments on the Draft EIR that questioned traffic volumes used in the analysis of freeway ramps in the Study Area. Consistent with Section 15125 of the CEQA Guidelines, the traffic counts used for preparation of the Draft EIR traffic analysis represent a reasonable definition of the physical environment at the study intersections as it existed at the time of the issuance of the Notice of Preparation (NOP) for the Draft EIR. Specifically, the traffic analysis in the Draft EIR evaluated the potential impacts of the proposed Project on the existing environment based on empirical data collected at the identified study locations in September 2009 and March 2010. With the recent economic conditions, the traffic volumes on many of the main corridors in Southern California have decreased below 2006-2008 levels, which explains the lower volumes observed in 2009 and 2010 when compared to prior counts and studies conducted by Caltrans and Rick Engineering. Consistent with the above, the analysis of the proposed Project's potential impacts on traffic is based on Year 2009 and 2010 traffic count data that was current at the time of the issuance ofthe NOP forthe Draft EIR.

Moreover, we identified appropriate mitigation measures for El Camino Real as specified in the attached December 17, 2009 traffic study comments letter, comment #56 on page 8. The City of Oceanside does not support the current recommendation specified in the DEIR for the project to contribute a fair share toward future adaptive signals on El Camino Real. The project must contribute its fair share toward the future widening of the El Camino Real Bridge over SR78. The recommended mitigation measure in the Final EIR must be changed to reflect the appropriate fair share based on the project's proportion to the growth of future traffic volumes along the bridge. We would like to meet with you to discuss the mitigation measures and clarify any questions or concerns you may have.

Page 77, Near Term Without/With Proiect Projections: a. Figure 28 shows study segment ADTs have increased Near Term from Existing Conditions but peak hour figures show reductions in peak hour intersection volumes. Ifthe ADTs increase and there is no change to the roadway network, then intersection volumes should be increased. b. Figures 29 and 30 peak hour Near Term intersections volumes are lower than Existing in most instances. Comments below are based on Figure 30: i. Intersection tfl - Volumes in the southbound and northbound directions are lower than existing. Side street volumes (east leg should be fixed with no reduction or increase since this is a closed neighborhood that is builtout. Also verify turning movement increase/decreases. ii. Intersection #2 - Volumes in the southbound and northbound directions are lower than existing. Southbound left and westbound right turn volumes shouid be increase not eliminated. Substantial decrease in northbound to westbound left turns; reduced by 500 trips in the PM peak hour. iii. Intersection #3 - Volumes in the southbound and northbound directions are lower than existing. Eastbound left turn volume was reduced by 180 vehicles to just 2 cars turning left in the peak hour; this is unacceptable. Westbound through movement volumes also reduced when ADT has increased on Vista Way. iv. Intersection #4 - Show southbound through volumes should not be zero but should be increased. Northbound approach volumes should not be eliminated but increased due to increased development here. Eastbound right turn volumes should not be eliminated but increased. East/west through volumes shouid be increased. V. Intersection tf5 - Northbound volumes should be increased, not reduced by 700 vehicles. Westbound and southbound turning movements also decreased but should be increased. Westbound and southbound turn movements should also be increased; not reduced. vi. Intersection #6 - Westbound and northbound volumes significantly reduced; they should be increased. Southbound left turn reduced 50%, but should be increased as well. vii. Intersection #7 - Southbound and westbound approach volumes are significantly reduced; should be increased. Northbound left turn shouldn't be reduced 50%. viii. Intersection #8 - Southbound and eastbound approach volumes must be increased not significantly decreased. 46. Page 79. Trip Distribution: Project trip distribution proportions (20% N, 26% S, 24% E, & 11% W) differ from those approved by staff per the August 14*^ memo from Gibson (32% N, 25% S, 20% W, & 23% E). Please darify. 47. Page 79: In the Near Term scenarios, all study intersections must be analyzed using the 2000 HCM methodology with LOS results shown with delay values in related tables in the main body ofthe report. 48. Page 79: In the Near Term scenarios, ail study segments must be analyzed on a daily basis per the City of Oceanside's adopted segment capacities table (attached). If LOS C cannot be achieved on a daily basis, then peak hour analyses must be completed. Creative measures must be developed to increase capacity in the peak hours. 49. Page 81, Horizon Year: a. Figures 36 and 44, Horizon Year forecast shows lower ADTs on Jefferson with only 8,000 - 9,000 ADT at Marron. City plot shows 12,000 ADT at this location and 21,000 ADT north toward the interchange; please revise; b. While the horizon year network in this scenano differs from Near Term, the adjustment in peak hour intersection turn movement volumes are not proportional to ADT forecast as described in comments #45b above. For example, intersection #4, RDO at Vista Way, shows 0 volume at the northbound approach when this scenario assumes the proposed RDO interchange is in place. There would be traffic from both SR78 and existing and proposed medical office buildings at this approach; and c. Include a description of the assumed network in this scenario. 50. Page 82, Project Trip Distribution: The distribution proportions were never reviewed and approved by staff. 26% local traffic trips is too high and 8% to/from west is too low. 51. In the Horizon Year scenarios, all study intersections must be analyzed using the 2000 HCM methodology with LOS results shown with deiay values in related tables in the main body of the report. 52. In the Horizon Year scenarios, ali study segments must be analyzed on a daily basis per the City of Oceanside's adopted segment capacities table (attached). If LOS C cannot be achieved on a daily basis, then peak hour analyses must be compieted. Creative measures must be developed to increase capacity in the peak hours. 53. Please provide a copy of the model run for alternate buildout scenarios without the RDO interchange with intersection and segment LOS analyses as described in the comments above. 54. Provide a summary table of all intersections and segments per the City of Oceanside requirements in the executive summary for easy comparison of conditions between the different scenarios. 55. The traffic report should have a conclusions section with summary tables of levels of service for intersections and segments for each scenario. This must include LOS summary tables for the alternate scenarios currently in the appendices. 56. The project will be required to contribute a fair share contribution toward the Traffic Management Center (TMC for adaptive signals on El Camino Real) and toward the future widening of the bridge at El Camino Real at SR78. I would like to work with you on the proper methodology for estimating fair share. This information must be included in the report. 57. It is recommended that Caltrans and NCTD have an opportunity to review and comment. In summary, the following key issues need to be addressed: 1. Identify the SANDAG model (Series 10 North County Sub-Area model); 2. Provide building square footage information on the site plan so trip generation can be verified; 3. Include additional study segments along Jefferson and El Camino Real at SR78; 4. It is recommended that the organization of Existing "Baseline" scenario should be the Existing Condition, not "Plus Project"; 5. Analyze all study intersections and segments in Oceanside using the methodologies described in this letter; 6. Use signal timing inputs provided in attached signal timing sheets; 7. Conduct peak hour progression analyses for ail scenarios using Synchro; 8. Summarize LOS results as requested in this letter in LOS tables; 9. Review/revise the future peak hour intersection volumes for consistency with model forecasts; 10. Horizon Year model forecast projections for Jefferson Street are low; and 11. Include summary LOS tables for alternate Horizon Year scenarios in body of report.

Dear Mr. Goff: The Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) is the State of California Trustee Agency' for the protection and preservation of Native American cultural resources pursuant to California Public Resources Code §21070 and affirmed by the Third Appellate Court in the case of EPIC v. Johnson (1985: 170 Cal App. 3"^ 604). This letter includes state and federal statutes relating to Native American historic properties or resources of religious and cultural significance to American Indian tribes and interested Native American individuals as 'consulting parties' under both state and federal law. State law also addresses the freedom of Native American Religious Expression in Public Resources Code §5097.9. This project is also subject to California Government Code Section 65352.3. The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA - CA Public Resources Code 21000-21177, amendments effective 3/18/2010) requires that any project that causes a substantial adverse change in the significance of an historical resource, that includes archaeological resources, is a 'significant effect' requiring the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) per the CEQA Guidelines defines a significant impact on the environment as 'a substantial, or potentially substantial, adverse change in any of physical conditions within an area affected by the proposed project, including ...objects of historic or aesthetic significance." In order to comply with this provision, the lead agency is required to assess whether the project will have an adverse impact on these resources within the 'area of potential effect (APE), and if so, to mitigate that effect. The NAHC recommends that the lead agency request that the NAHC do a Sacred Lands File search as part ofthe careful planning for the proposed project. The NAHC "Sacred Sites,' as defined by the Native American Heritage Commission and the California Legislature in California Public Resources Code §§5097.94(a) and 5097.96. Items in the NAHC Sacred Lands Inventory are confidential and exempt from the Public Records Act pursuant to California Government Code §6254 (r). Early consultation with Native American tribes in your area is the best way to avoid unanticipated discoveries of cultural resources or burial sites once a project is underway. Culturally affiliated tribes and individuals may have knowledge ofthe religious and cultural significance ofthe historic properties in the project area (e.g. APE). We strongly urge that you make contact with the list of Native American Contacts on the attached list of Native American contacts, to see if your proposed project might impact Native American cultural resources and to obtain their recommendations concerning the proposed project. Pursuant to CA Public Resources Code § 5097.95, the NAHC requests cooperation from other public agencies in order thatthe Native Amehcan consulting parties be provided pertinent project information. Consultation with Native American communities is also a matter of environmental justice as defined by California Government Code §65.040.12(e). Pursuant to CA Public Resources Code §5097.95, the NAHC requests that pertinent project information be provided consulting tribal parties, including archaeological studies. The NAHC recommends avoidance as defined by CEQA Guidelines §15370(a) to pursuing a project that would damage or destroy Native Amehcan cultural resources and Section 2183.2 that requires documentation, data recovery of cultural resources. Furthermore, the NAHC if the proposed project is under the jurisdiction of the statutes and regulations ofthe National Environmental Policy Act (e.g. NEPA; 42 U.S.C. 4321-43351). Consultation with tribes and interested Native American consulting parties, on the NAHC list, should be conducted in compliance with the requirements of federal NEPA and Section 106 and 4(f) of federal NHPA (16 U.S.C. 470 etseq), 36 CFR Part 800.3 (f) (2) & .5, the President's Council on Environmental Quality (CSQ, 42 U.S.C 4371 etseq. and NAGPRA (25 U.S.C. 3001- 3013) as appropriate. The 1992 Secretaty ofthe Interiors Standards forthe Treatment of Historic Properties were revised so that they could be applied to all historic resource types included in the National Register of Historic Places and including cultural landscapes. Also, federal Executive Orders Nos. 11593 (preservation of cultural environment), 13175 (coordination & consultation) and 13007 (Sacred Sites) are helpful, supportive guides for Section 106 consultation. The aforementioned Secretary ofthe Interior's Standards include recommendations for all 'lead agencies' to consider the historic context of proposed projects and to "research" the cultural landscape that might include the 'area of potential effect.' Confidentiality of "historic properties of religious and cultural significance" should also be considered as protected by California Government Code §6254( r) and may also be protected under Section 304 of he NHPA or at the Secretary of the Interior discretion if not eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. The Secretary may also be advised by the federal Indian Religious Freedom Act (cf. 42 U.S.C, 1996) in issuing a decision on whether or not to disclose items of religious and/or cultural significance identified in or near the APEs and possibility threatened by proposed project activity. Furthermore, Public Resources Code Section 5097.98, California Government Code §27491 and Health & Safety Code Section 7050.5 provide for provisions for inadvertent discovery of human remains mandate the processes to be followed in the event of a discovery of human remains in a project location other than a 'dedicated cemetery'. To be effective, consultation on specific projects must be the result of an ongoing relationship between Native American tribes and lead agencies^ project proponents and their contractors, in the opinion ofthe NAHC. Regarding tribal consultation, a relationship built around regular meetings and informal involvement with local tribes will lead to more qualitative consultation tribal input on specific projects. Finally, when Native American cultural sites and/or Native American burial sites are prevalent within the project site, the NAHC recommends 'avoidance' ofthe site as referenced by CEQA Guidelines Section 15370(a). 7.

Based on the information contained in the DEIR and its cultural resources appendix, Appendix I, we have the following comments: The ASM letter report included as Appendix I did not recommend any additional cultural resources work for the project. Section 4.3.3 of the DEIR, on the other hand, states that "Nonetheless, there is the potential for accidental disturbance of buried cultural resources during excavation or groundbreaking activity." Section 4.3.4 of the DEIR, based on that statement, then includes mitigation measures C-1 through C-4. Mitigation measure C-1 calls for a Native American monitor to be present "during initial groimd disturbance and grading operations in the event that imknown archaeological resources are encoimtered during construction." Given the concems of Section 4.3.3, C-1 should include an archaeological monitor in addition to the Native American monitor. This will facilitate the identification of any cultural materials and the process identified in C-2. It also provides an additional set of eyes to spot human remains, per C-3, should any be encountered. P.O.

NCTD directly serves the project area with four bus routes (302, 309, 323, 325) with stops on El Camino Real, Marron Road, and at the Plaza Camino Real Transit Center located on the eastem portion of the property. As a result of the reconfiguration and reconstmction of existing commercial/retail space on the eastem portion of the site along El Camino Real, NCTD expects to see a fiiture increase in boarding and alighting activity in this specific area. Of particular interest to NCTD is the southbound bus stop on El Camino Real, nearside Marron Road. NCTD requests that an accessible path of travel into the Westfield Carlsbad property be maintained and/or enhanced from this stop. NCTD also requests that the developer consider installation of an ADA accessible concrete pad, bus shelter and trash can at this stop location, as it is within the "limit of work" boundary, and would provide the necessary passenger amenities for what is anticipated to be a high-usage stop. If a shelter cannot be accommodated, then NCTD would like the existing bench and trash can to remain in place. In review of the landscape element, NCTD requests that accommodations be made to insure that the proposed landscaping and newly installed trees do not encroach upon, or obstmct bus operations on the El Camino Real roadway. In prior situations, elsewhere in the region, low hanging trees have resulted in the removal and/or relocation of bus stops away from activity centers, which is a strong deterrent against the use of public transportation. Through these proposed requests, NCTD believes that the project will better adhere to the City of Carlsbad's General Plan, specifically the Circulation Element that promotes and encourages altemative transportation to "accommodate a balance of different travel modes based on safety, convenience, attractiveness, costs, environmental and social impacts." We look forward to your review and comment on the proposed accommodations. Again, thank you for the opportunity to comment. Sincerely, Eric Hoch North County Transit District Transit Planner cc: J.

Dear Mr. Goff: The Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) Is the State of California Trustee Agency' for the protection and preservation of Native American cultural resources pursuant to Califomia Public Resources Code §21070 and affirmed by the Third Appellate Court in the case of EPIC v. Johnson (1985:170 Cal App. 3"^ 604). This letter includes state and federal statutes relating to Native American historic properties or resources of religious and cultural significance to American Indian tribes and interested Native American individuals as 'consulting parties' under both state and federal law. State law also addresses the freedom of Native American Religious Expression in Public Resources Code §5097.9. This project is also subject to California Govemment Code Section 65352.3. The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA - CA Public Resources Code 21000-21177, amendments effective 3/18/2010) requires that any project that causes a substantial adverse change in the significance of an historical resource, that includes archaeological resources, is a 'significant effect' requiring the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) per the CEQA Guidelines defines a significant Impact on the environment as 'a substantial, or potentially substantial, adverse change in any of physical conditions within an area affected by the proposed project, including ...objects of historic or aesthetic significance." In order to comply with this provision, the lead agency is required to assess whether the project will have an adverse impact on these resources within the 'area of potential effect (APE), and if so, to mitigate that effect. The NAHC recommends that the lead agency request that the NAHC do a Sacred Lands File search as part of the careful planning for the proposed project. The NAHC "Sacred Sites,' as defined by the Native American Heritage Commission and the Califomia Legislature in Califomia Public Resources Code §§5097.94(a) and 5097.96. Items in the NAHC Sacred Lands inventory are confidential and exempt from the Public Records Act pursuant to California Govemment Code §6254 (r). Eariy consultation with Native American tribes in your area is the best way to avoid unanticipated discoveries of cultural resources or burial sites once a project is unden/vay. Culturally affiliated tribes and individuals may have knowledge of the religious and cultural significance ofthe historic properties in the project area (e.g. APE). We strongly urge that you make contact with the list of Native American Contacts on the attached list of Native American contacts, to see if your proposed project might impact Native American cultural resources and to obtain their recommendations concerning the proposed project. Pursuant to CA Public Resources Code § 5097.95, the NAHC requests cooperation from other public agencies in order that the Native American consulting parties be provided pertinent project information. Consultation with Native American communities is also a matter of environmental justice as defined by California Govemment Code §65040.12(e). Pursuant to CA Public Resources Code §5097.95, the NAHC requests that pertinent project information be provided consulting tribal parties, including archaeological studies. The NAHC recommends avoidance as defined by CEQA Guidelines §15370(a) to pursuing a project that would damage or destroy Native American cultural resources and Section 2183.2 that requires documentation, data recovery of cultural resources. Furthermore, the NAHC if the proposed project is under the jurisdiction of the statutes and regulations ofthe National Environmental Policy Act (e.g. NEPA; 42 U.S.C. 4321-43351). Consultation with tribes and interested Native American consulting parties, on the NAHC list, should be conducted in compliance with the requirements of federal NEPA and Section 106 and 4(f) of federal NHPA (16 U.S.C. 470 etseq), 36 CFR Part 800.3 (f) (2) & .5, the President's Council on Environmental Quality (CSQ, 42 U.S.C 4371 etseq. and NAGPRA (25 U.S.C. 3001- 3013) as appropriate. The 1992 Secretary ofthe Interiors Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties were revised so that they could be applied to all historic resource types included in the National Register of Historic Places and including cultural landscapes. Also, federal Executive Orders Nos. 11593 (presen/ation of cultural environment), 13175 (coordination & consultation) and 13007 (Sacred Sites) are helpful, supportive guides for Section 106 consultation. The aforementioned Secretary ofthe Interior's Standards include recommendations for all 'lead agencies' to consider the historic context of proposed projects and to "research" the cultural landscape that might include the 'area of potential effect.' Confidentiality of "historic properties of religious and cultural significance" should also be considered as protected by California Govemment Code §6254( r) and may also be protected under Section 304 of he NHPA or at the Secretary of the interior discretion if not eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. The Secretary may also be advised by the federal Indian Religious Freedom Act (cf 42 U.S.C, 1996) in issuing a decision on whether or not to disclose items of religious and/or cultural significance identified in or near the APEs and possibility threatened by proposed project activity. Furthermore, Public Resources Code Section 5097.98, California Government Code §27491 and Health & Safety Code Section 7050.5 provide for provisions for inadvertent discovery of human remains mandate the processes to be followed in the event of a discovery of human remains in a project location other than a 'dedicated cemetery'. To be effective, consultation on specific projects must be the result of an ongoing relationship between Native American tribes and lead agencies^ project proponents and their contractors, in the opinion ofthe NAHC. Regarding tribal consultation, a relationship built around regular meetings and informal involvement with local tribes will lead to more qualitative consultation tribal input on specific projects. Finally, when Native American cultural sites and/or Native American burial sites are prevalent within the project site, the NAHC recommends 'avoidance' of the site as referenced by CEQA Guidelines Section 15370(a). ?

Please find enclosed redlined copies ofthe Second Screen Check Draft Environmental Impact Report with our comments/suggested revisions. Please revise or adjust accordingly. If you have any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to contact me at (760) 602-4643. Please return all redlines with the next submittal. 2. On Pg. ES-2, under Table ES-1, we should probably include an asterisk to denote or indicate that the 6,402 total Westfield Carlsbad parking spaces include the parking spaces within the parking lot area parcel (APN 165-120-59), which is outside of the SDP Boundary and within the City of Oceanside. We point this out only because the table is summarizing the Site Development Plan. 3. On Pg. 3-13, 1st Paragraph, the discussion covering Building Height with respect to the outbuildings is incorrectly stated. Please refer to the Specific Plan Development Standards for Planning Areas 2, 3, and 4. We have provided the following text as a suggestion to replace the last three sentences following the sentence ending in "105.3 feet AMSL". The height of any future outbuilding would not be allowed to exceed 45 feet above grade, as measured using the City's standard building height definition defined in Section 21.04.065 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code, except for any future outbuildings that would be constructed within 300 feet of the El Camino Real right-of-way, which would be limited to a maximum building height of 35 feet above grade. For any outbuildings located beyond a distance of 300 feet from El Camino Real, City Council may approve a height limit increase in excess of 45 feet to a maximum of 55 feet through a Site Development Plan provided that specific findings outlined within the SP can be made. 4. On Pg. 3-17, it doesn't appear that the section covering Parking Areas and Standards is correctly stated regarding the ratio of parking as it is covered by the Gibson Transportation Study. While the proposed SDP is parked at 5.0 spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. (1,186,509 sq. ft. (GLA) -r 5931 spaces = 200); the Specific Plan is requesting a reduced parking ratio of 4.0 spaces per 1,000 sq. ft., which is less parking than would be provided by the 15% common parking facilities (4.25 spaces per 1,000 sq. ft.) section of the municipal code. Westfield and Gibson argues that the City's parking requirements far exceeds that of other similar type centers, and goes on to provide an analysis that arrives at a required parking ratio of 3.89 spaces per 1,000 sq. ft., which we agreed to but required them to round up to 4.0 in the SP for purposes of convenience. If necessary, we can discuss. 5. Regarding GHG; the CalEEMod model discussion on Pg. 4.6-28 of the EIR identifies 11 mitigation measures that the project will implement as project design features to reduce emissions from area sources by approximately 17%, and reduce emissions from all vehicle types (e.g., light duty autos, heavy duty trucks, etc.) by 10%; however nowhere in the actual project design (i.e., the SDP package. May 11, 2012) do we see that Westfield is committing to any of these measures other than the presence of the existing transit center and also the proximity of existing bike lanes and sidewalks along El Camino Real and Marron Road. Why are these design features not identified as Mitigation Measures (MM) on Pg. 4.6- 31 in order to reduce impacts to a level considered to be less than significant? Also, please note that Westfield in the past has been reluctant to add Electric Charging Stations, which is included as a suggested MM. If electric charging stations were required as a MM, how many would be required to meet the reduction the CalEEMod model utilized for the offset? R^/ EIR 09-02 - WESTFIELD CARLSBAD JULY 25, 2012 PAGE 3 6. On Pg. 6-2, Section 6.1 - ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED BUT REJECTED, this section discusses a 2008 SDP proposal to the City of Carlsbad by Westfield that was resulting in a net increase of 145,933 sq. ft. GLA. While there have been discussions with Westfield in the past to redevelop/renovate the mall in one manner or another, it is important to note for purposes of this section, that the City of Carlsbad has never received a formal application or submittal for the project you describe in this section. 7. On Pg. 6-7, Alternative 1, the title of this has been changed from the "No Project/Existing Entitlements Alternative" to the "No Project Alternative" instead. Please note that the body of text from Pg. 6-7 to 6- 15 continually refers to this alternative as the "No Project/Existing Entitlements Alternative." For purposes of consistency, we have redlined the document to refiect the title change shown on Pg. 6-7, but we do not have a preference. Please just revise one way or the other to be consistent throughout. Please also revise Table 6-1 on Pg. 6-28 to reflect whatever change is decided upon. 8. In Appendix A, we need to include the letter from the Native American Heritage Commission dated January 26, 2010 (see attached). Acoustical Analvsis Report (June 22. 2012): 1. Please find enclosed a redlined copy of the Acoustical Analysis Report with our comments/suggested revisions. Please revise or adjust accordingly.

On Pg. 10, Section 4.0 - EXISTING NOISE ENVIRONMENT, 2"'' sentence: the report indicates that an inspection of the site "was conducted from 1:15 to 2:30 on Wednesday, February 5, 2010." We assume this inspection was conducted during the daytime hours based on the sunny weather conditions mentioned in the following sentence. However, for purposes of clarity, can you please revise this sentence to affirm whether or not this inspection was conducted during the P.M.? 3. On Pg. 11, Table 4-1 and Table 4-2: relating to the above comment, can you please revise the TIME column and row to indicate (AM) or (PM)?

CEQA now requires under Appendix F that EIR's include discussion of the potential energy impacts of a proposed project with particular emphasis on avoiding or reducing inefficient, wasteful, and unnecessary consumption of energy. How is the EIR addressing CEQA Appendix F: Energy Conservation? 2. There now appears to be no reason to indude any reference to a Tentative Tract Map as a potential project component. I suggest removing it from the project description discussion and anywhere else that it falls within the EIR or technical appendices. 3. Please provide us with the documentation supporting the idea that simple reliance on Title 24 of the Building Code combined with the other State and Federal Fuel Efficiency Standards (i.e., CAFE, LCFS, and Pavely) will satisfy the reduction requirements for Greenhouse Gases. Is it appropriate to combine these fuel efficiency programs and standards? Are they different enough that it isn't considered double dipping? 4. Cultural Resources needs to be analyzed under Section 4.0 of the EIR with mitigation included to address CEQA Section 15064.5(f), the accidental discovery of historical or unique archeological resources, and also we need to add mitigation for Native American monitors in accordance with the SB-18 process that was undertaken for the project. 5.

MEMORANDUM TO: Doug Bilse City of Carlsbad Public Works - Engineering FROM: Pat Gibson, P.E., PTOE Geetika Maheshwari, LEED AP DATE: April 13,2010 RE: Response to Comments Transportation Study for the Westfield Plaza Camino Real Revitalization Project Carlsbad, California Ref: J1017 This memorandum provides the responses to comments on Transportation Study for the Westfield Plaza Camino Real Revitalization Project (Gibson Transportation Consulting, Inc., March 2010) submitted by the City of Carlsbad on March 19, 2009. The enclosed revised Transportation Study for the Westfield Plaza Camino Real Revitalization Project, (Gibson Transportation Consulting, Inc., April 2010) ("Transportation Study") has been updated to incorporate the comments received from the City. COMMENT 1 Table 2 Page 17 of the document is missing the intersection of El Camino Real and Hosp Way in the CityofCarlsbad. The intersection of El Camino Real & Hosp Way (Intersection 18) has been added to the Transportation Study and has been included in the analysis for all existing, baseline, and future scenarios. COMMENT 2 Table 9 The LOS definitions for CLASS I roadway sections is incorrect The LOS definitions for Class I roadway segments has been corrected in Table 9. It should be noted that this did not affect the analysis presented in the Transportation Study as none of the analyzed roadway segments are classified as Class I roadways. 660S. Figueroa Street, Suite 1120 Los Angeles, CA 90017 p. 213.683.0088 f. 213.683.0033 Mr. Doug Bilse AprillS, 2010 Page 2 COMMENT 3 Figure 4A The tuming movements for the intersection of El Camino Real and Ptaza Drive (l.D. 9) are inconsistent with data collected for the 2009 Traffic Monitoring Program. Specifically the eastbound left and westbound right tum movements appear low and should be reviewed and revised accordingly. Tables 1 and 2 of this memorandum provide a comparison of the traffic counts used in the Transportation Study to those used in the City of Carlsbad's 2009 Traffic Monitoring Program (2009 TMP) for the analyzed intersections used in both documents. As shown in the tables, while some traffic volumes in the 2009 TMP are higher, most movements have higher volumes in the Transportation Study. Also, the 2009 TMP traffic counts were conducted in July 2009 (summer) while the traffic counts used in the Transportation Study were conducted in September 2009 (non-summer). The table below provides a comparison of the traffic entering and exiting Westfield Plaza Camino Real, located to the west of intersection 9, and the land uses located to the east of intersection 9. INTERSECTION 9 Land Use / Peak Hour Transportation Study 2009 TMP Land Use / Peak Hour Entering Exiting Entering Exiting Westfield Plaza Camino Real - A.M. Peak Hour 38 12 43 21 Westfield Plaza Camino Real - P.M. Peak Hour 261 311 186 344 Land Uses to the east - A.M. Peak Hour 215 82 174 80 Land Uses to the east - P.M. Peak Hour 353 306 286 318 As shown in the table above, the net traffic entering and exiting Westfield Plaza Camino Real and the land uses to the east of intersection 9 are almost the same in both the Transportation Study and the 2009 TMP. The slight variation in individual movements is attributable to: 1) the difference in the months that the traffic counts were conducted, and 2) daily variation in traffic counts. COMMENT 4 Figure 4B The tuming movements forthe intersection of 1-5 SB Ramp and Catlsbad Village Drive (l.D. 14) are inconsistent with data coUected for the 2009 Traffic Monitoring Program. Specifically the eastbound right tum movement appears low and should be reviewed and revised acconJingly. The eastbound right-turn volumes in the afternoon peak hour in the Transportation Study were low due to a faulty traffic count. Volumes for that movement have been replaced by the Mr. Doug Bilse April 13, 2010 Pages corresponding volumes from the 2009 TMP. The future traffic volumes have also been updated accordingly. Table 2 of this memorandum presents the updated traffic volume. COMMENT 5 Figure 5 The mid-block volumes at the foltowing locations are inconsistent with data previously collected for the City of Carlsbad: Jefferson Street south of SR 78 (l.D. 17), Marron Road east of El Camino Real (l.D. 11), and El Camino Real north of Cartsbad Village Drive (l.D. 13). Table 3 of this memorandum provides a comparison of the traffic counts used in the Transportation Study to those used in the City of Carisbad's 2009 Traffic Count Program (2009 TCP) for the analyzed street segments. The 2009 TCP traffic counts were conducted in July 2009 (summer) while the traffic counts used in the Transportation Study were conducted in September 2009 (non-summer). As shown in the table, the counts in the Transportation Study are higher than those in the 2009 TCP at all but three of the 10 analyzed street segments. Even at the three locations where the 2009 TCP traffic volumes are higher, the magnitude ofthe difference is relatively small. Similar to the intersection counts, the slight variation in traffic volumes is attributable to: 1) the difference in the months that the traffic counts were conducted, and 2) daily variation in traffic counts. Additionally, since the traffic counts at most segments, including segments 11, 13, and 17, are higher in the Transportation Study, the Transportation Study presents a conservative analysis. COMMENT 6 Tabte 10 The LOS results for several locations are inconsistent with the findings of the 2009 Traffic Monitoring Program at the following locations: El Camino Real/Plaza Dr (l.D. 9), Jefferson St/Marron Rd. (l.D. 10), Monroe St./Marron Rd. (l.D. 11), ECR/Manron (l.D. 13), 1-5 SB Ramp/Carlsbad Village Dr (l.D. 14), 1-5 NB Ramp/Carlsbad Village Dr (l.D. 15), and El Camino Real and Carlsbad Village Dr (t.D. 17). Several ofthese can be addressed with revised turning movements. The level of service (LOS) analysis presented in the March 2010 Transportation Study assumed lane capacities of 1,600 vehicles per hour per lane (vphpl) for through and turn lanes and did not account for loss time. The analysis presented in the enclosed April 2010 Transportation Study has been revised in accordance with the 2009 TMP to; 1) assume lane capacities of 2,000 vphpl for through lanes and 1,800 vphpl for turn lanes, and 2) account for a loss time of 0.10 in V/C ratio. Table 4 of this memorandum provides a comparison of the revised LOS analysis in the Transportation Study to that presented in the 2009 TMP for the analyzed intersections that are common to both documents. Mr Doug Bilse April 13, 2010 Page 4 As shown in the table, while some intersections have a higher volume-to-capacity (V/C) ratio in the 2009 TMP, other locations have a higher V/C in the Transportation Study. Additionally, the magnitude of the difference in V/C ratios is relatively small. The slight variation in traffic volumes, described in comment 3 above, is causing the difference in V/C ratios. However, it should be noted that regardless of the existing counts used in the analysis, the Project does not add enough traffic to any of the intersections to result in a significant impact even if the Existing Baseline plus Project operations at the intersections were LOS E or F (i.e., an increase in V/C of 0.02 or greater). Please refer to Table 19 of the Transportation Study. COMMENT 7 Figure 10A Please review tuming movements for El Camino Real and Plaza Dr (l.D. 9) with respect to comments above regarding baseline tuming movements. As described above in comment 3, the traffic volumes at the intersection of El Camino Real & Plaza Drive have been reviewed. The slight variation in traffic volumes is attributable to: 1) the difference in the months that the traffic counts were conducted, and 2) daily variation in traffic counts. COMMENT 8 Figure 16 Please review mid-block LOS results for (l.D. 9) with respect to comments above regarding baseline mid-block counts. We are assuming that the comment is referring to intersection 9 since Figure 16 illustrates the intersection levels of service. The traffic volumes and LOS analysis for intersection 9 have been reviewed and the slight variation in results is attributable to: 1) the difference in the months that the traffic counts were conducted, and 2) daily variation in traffic counts. Also, as noted in comment 6 above, regardless of the existing counts used in the analysis, the Project does not add enough traffic to any of the intersections to result in a significant impact even if the Existing Baseline plus Project operations at the intersections were LOS E or F (i.e., an increase in V/C of 0.02 or greater). Please refer to Table 19 of the Transportation Study. COMMENT 9 Figure 21A Please review tuming movements for El Camino Real and Plaza Dr (l.D. 9) with respect to comments above regarding baseline tuming movements. The traffic volumes and LOS analysis for intersection 9 have been reviewed and the slight variation in results is attributable to: 1) the difference in the months that the traffic counts were conducted, and 2) daily variation in traffic counts. Also, as noted in comment 6 above. Mr Doug Bilse April 13,2010 Page 5 regardless of the existing counts used in the analysis the Project does not add enough traffic to any of the intersections to result in a significant impact even if the Existing Baseline plus Project operations at the intersections were LOS E or F (i.e., an increase in V/C of 0.02 or greater). Please referto Table 19 ofthe Transportation Study. COMMENT 10 Scenario 4: Near Term without Proiect Street Segment - Peak Hour Analysis (pg. 85): The report states "While the two segments atong Vista Way are projected to operate at LOS D orE, the Project does not add enough traffic to these segments, as shown later in Figure 20, to result In a significant impact." This statement needs to be re-written to state either the segments were measured using the Oceanside critena and found to not have a signiflcant impact, or explain why the Oceanside criteria was not used. The report has been modified to add more explanation as to why additional peak hour analysis was not conducted. While the two segments along Vista Way are projected to operate at a daily LOS of D or E, the Project does not add enough traffic to the segments to result in a decrease in speed of greater than or equal to one mph (City of Oceanside significance criteria) during either peak hour. As shown in Figure 20, the Project is projected to add three or fewer trips during the morning peak hour to either direction of the analyzed segments on Vista Way. During the afternoon peak hour, the Project is projected to add five or fewer trips to either direction of the analyzed segments on Vista Way. Additionally, peak hour traffic count data would be needed at intersections along Vista Way (on either side of El Camino Real), which are not analyzed as part of this study, to conduct a peak hour progression analysis. Since the peak hour traffic data was unavailable and the level of Project traffic added to the segments is not expected to result in a significant impact, no further analysis (peak hour operations) was conducted at these two segments. COMMENT 11 Scenario 5: Near Term with Proiect Significant Impact Analysis (pg. 88): The report states that Table 27 defines segment impacts as "(i.e., an increase in V/C of 0.20 or greater)" this should be revised to read "(i.e., an increase in V/C of 0.02 or greater)." The report has been revised accordingly. COMMENT 12 Scenario 7: Horizon Year with Proiect Project Trip Distribution and Assignment (page 91): the project trip distribution does not appear to be consistent with pniject trip distribution in previous scenarios. For example, see Figure 9 to compare trip distributions of different scenarios. The Project trip distribution and assignment is in fact different for all of the analyzed Horizon Year scenarios. As discussed in the scoping meetings/conference calls with the City of Mr Doug Bilse AprillS, 2010 Page 6 Carisbad staff, the Project trip distribution and assignment for each analyzed scenario have been determined based on SANDAG model runs that isolated trips to and from the Traffic Analysis Zone that contains the Project Site. This assignment was further refined, at a local level, based on consultation with City of Carlsbad and City of Oceanside staffs. Since the Horizon Year analysis presented in scenarios 6 and 7 includes several major background roadway improvements (listed on pages 77 and 78, Chapter 4), the Project's trip distribution and assignment is different for this scenario than those used for baseline and Near Term conditions. As noted above, this approach and methodology is based on prior consultation and discussions with City of Carlsbad staff. COMMENTS 13,14,15, and 16 Figure 26A Please review tuming movements for El Camlno Real and Plaza Dn (l.D. 9) with respect to volumes of previous scenarios.

The traffic volumes and LOS analysis for intersections 9, 10, 13, and 17 have been reviewed. The northbound and southbound through traffic volumes at these intersections, along with other analyzed intersections on the El Camino Real and Jefferson Street corridors, are lower than baseline conditions due to several background improvements that are proposed to be implemented by the years 2020 and 2030. As discussed in the scoping meetings/conference calls with City of Carisbad staff, these background improvements would result in a traffic shift from the El Camino Real and Jefferson Street corridors. The traffic shifts are based on the projections obtained from the SANDAG model runs for the years 2020 and 2030. Future traffic volumes were computed by employing the "difference method" (described in Chapter 4). As noted above, this approach and methodology is based on prior consultation and discussions with City of Carlsbad staff. Mr Doug Bilse April 13, 2010 Page 7 COMMENT 17 Table 26 Include a column identifying the significance criteria used that differentiates the Carisbad and Oceanside criteria. The significance criteria used in this table does not correspond to the Oceanside criteria for roadway segments in Oceanside. Please revise the table or explain why the Oceanside criteria do not apply. A column has been added to all tables that differentiates the City of Carisbad and City of Oceanside locations/methodologies/significance criteria. We are assuming that the second part of the comment is referring to intersections since Table 26 summarizes the intersection LOS. The significance criteria used in Table 26 does correspond with the City of Oceanside's criteria, which states that a significant impact would occur at an analyzed intersection if one of the following two criteria is met: (1) The addition of trips generated by the proposed land use results in a change in operating conditions from acceptable (LOS D or better) to deficient (LOS E or F), or (2) When an intersection is operating at deficient levels of service (LOS E or F), an increase in delay of more than 2.0 seconds at the intersection, as determined using the 2000 HCM methodology, results in a significant impact under both baseline and future conditions. As shown in Table 26, all of the analyzed intersections are projected to operate at LOS D or better. Additionally, the Project does not result in an increase in delay of 2.0 seconds at any of the intersections except the intersection of Project Driveway & Marron Road. The Project is therefore not expected to result in a direct significant impact at any of the analyzed intersections under the Near Term Conditions. COMMENTS 18 and 22 Table 27 tnclude a column identifying the significance criteria used that differentiates the Carisbad and Oceanside criteria. The significance criteria used in this table does not conespond to the Oceanside criteria for roadway segments in Oceanside. Ptease revise the table or explain why the Oceanside criteria do not apply. A column has been added to all tables that differentiates the City of Carlsbad and City of Oceanside locations/methodologies/significance criteria. The significance criteria used in Table 27 does correspond with the City of Oceanside's criteria, which states that a significant impact would occur at an analyzed street segment if one of the following criteria is met: (1) The addition of trips generated by the proposed land use results in a change in daily operating conditions from acceptable (LOS C or better) to deficient (LOS D, E, or F), or when a street segment is projected to operate at deficient levels of sen/ice (LOS D, E, or Mr Doug Bilse April 13, 2010 Page 8 F), an increase in V/C of more than 0.02 at the segment results in a significant impact, and (2) Peak hour analysis must be conducted for all analyzed street segments projected to operate at a daily LOS of D, E, or F. Daily impacts are not considered significant if a peak hour arterial LOS of D or better can be demonstrated. Peak hour roadway segment LOS is measured in terms of speed. A decrease in speed of more than one mph results in a significant impact. As shown in Table 27, the Project does not add enough traffic to any of the 18 street segments to result in a direct significant impact even if the Near Term: Future with Project operations at the segments were LOS E or F (i.e., an increase in V/C of 0.02 or greater). Additionally, traffic studies conducted for other developments in the City of Oceanside were reviewed to ensure that the significant impact criteria used in the Transportation Study are consistent with those used for other developments.

Proiect Description: 1. Please find attached a redlined copy of the Project Description with suggested modifications and comments. A copy of document will be sent electronically via email, whereby you can accept and/or reject the associated track changes. 2. Please note that the EIR project description does a good job in describing the project and the content of the Specific Plan as it is proposed. However, there is a dilemma in that staff and the applicant haye not yet come to agreement in certain areas regarding the content of the proposed Specific Plan. While we do prefer to have a very descriptive EIR project description, which fully details the content ofthe Specific Plan, we find it very concerning with respect to the timing of the EIR in that we may still have significant changes needing to be made in the near future. We need to discuss with you how to resolve this issue in a timely manner? B. Air Qualitv and Climate Change: Air Quality and Climate Change Technical Report for the Westfield Plaza Camino Real Revitalization Project, Helix Environmental Planning, Inc., February 23, 2010. 1. There are many references to the 1*' draft of the Gibson Transportation Study within the body of the report. As you are aware, the Transportation Study has not yet been finalized. Please note that the information being referenced in this document may change, which may have impacts on the findings within the report. Once the Traffic Study has been finalized, please confirm that the figures and findings in the report are still accurate and if not please revise to be consistent. 2. Please define within the body of the report the "business as usual" concept, and demonstrate quantitatively how the project reduces GHG emissions by 30% below the "business as usual" level consistent with the goals of AB 32. 3. Under the Demolition category of Table 4 (Pg. 20), do we need to also include "jack hammers and rock-crushing/concrete grinding machines" as possible types of Equipment to be used as part of the demolition efforts? I thought that the applicant had indicated that they would be using these items. Please confirm. 4. On Pg. 29 of the report, a list of design features are included which are indicated as having an effect on reducing energy consumption through energy and water efficient design. These are indentified as project design features already incorporated into the project design. Where in the plans are these design features identified? Also, if the design plans for the project were to change in manner effectively eliminating the features altogether, would the conclusion of the report change? In other words, should these design features be included as required mitigation measures? 5. Under Cumulative Impacts, Section 5.0 (pg. 30), please note that paragraphs 3 and 6 appear to be very similar if not the same. Please revise to show the most accurate. f IR 09-02 - PLAZA CAM«REAL REVITALIZATION March 30, 2010 Paqe 3 6. Please see the enclosed redline copy for additional comments. Please return the redline copy with your next submittal. C. Biological Resources: Biological Resources Letter Report for the Westfield Plaza Camino Real Revitalization Project (Carisbad, California), Helix Environmental Planning, Inc., March 5, 2010. 1. Please note that the Site Plan exhibit at the back of the letter (Figure 3) needs to be updated to show the most recent Specific Plan Boundary. Please revise accordingly. D. Cultural Resources: Plaza Camino Real Revitalization Project Cultural Resources Study, ASM Affiliates, February 22, 2010. 1. According to the Geologic Reconnaissance Report submitted by Geocon, Inc. most of the site was filled with compacted fill soils in an effort to likely raise the existing grades out of the lagoon/floodplain zones. However, the report does indicate that some fill soils equate to a thickness of zero feet (i.e., existing subsurface grades) mainly in the southeastern portion of the site where development is being proposed. In accordance with CEQA Section 15064.5(f), don't we need to have a mitigation measure in place to address the accidental discovery of historical or unique archeological resources? 2. At the time of this review, only one Native American tribe (Pala Band of Mission Indians) had responded to SB-18 compliance letters, indicating that due to the proximate nature of existing archeological sites. Native American monitoring should be considered as part of project construction. Doesn't the report need to be expanded to address Native American concerns, and provide mitigation in the form of Native American monitoring. E. Geotechnical: Geotechnical Reconnaissance Report Plaza Camino Real Shopping Center Revitalization, (Carisbad, California), GEOCON Incorporated Geotechnical Consultants, January 28, 2010, GEOCON Project No. Gil80-32-01. 1. The report (pg. 5) identifies that the northern portion of the subject property is included in a high risk hazards area for liquefaction and seismically induced settlement, but goes on to indicate that this would be the subject of future studies. The project is proposing physical development. What if these future studies require over excavation of the site? How would we address the impact of soil being trucked to and from the site? Wouldn't additional truck trips affect air quality? What if sinking pylons, which is one of the possible suggested alternatives listed on pg. 5, results in significant noise impacts? How would we address the noise impacts? Doesn't this need to be addressed as part of the Project EIR, and therefore, shouldn't the Geotechnical Report be more than just a reconnaissance? 2. Based on the discussion on Pg. 5 regarding liquefaction, please provide an additional exhibit, which maps these areas in accordance with the County of San Diego Hazard Mitigation Plan maps. We have concern about where these areas are mapped. Are they in the parking lot, under the Robinson-May Building, or other proposed building pads? /l^ EIR 09-02 - PLAZA CAMINO REAL REVITALIZATION March 30, 2010 Page 4 3. The report identifies Eocene-age Santiago Formation along the southern and southeastern portions of the property. This soil type is known to contain paleontological resources in the City of Carisbad. The cultural resources report that was prepared by ASM did not address paleontological resources. Instead Helix indicates that they'll rely on the geologic formation information contained in the Geologic Reconnaissance Report and project grading plan to determine if there is a potential impact to fossil resources (see Amendment No. 1 to agreement with Helix Environmental Planning, Inc. for preparation of an Environmental Impact Report EIR 09-02 Plaza Camino Real Revitalization Project, Detailed Work Program, Attachment 2 Page 8). Please be sure to address Paleontological Resources in the EIR based on these findings. F.

Please also correct page 3, Section 2 (Site Reconnaissance) to address the above noted discrepancy in total mall area. 3. On Page 22, under Opinions, Conclusions, and Recommendations, the report recommends conducting an asbestos and lead survey prior to any renovations/demolition activities to confirm whether evidence exists that the structures contain significant sources of asbestos containing materials (ACM) and/or lead containing paint (LCP). Seeing that the project proposes to demolish entire buildings (i.e., the existing theater and possibly the Robinson-May building) and renovate a large percentage of others, isn't it necessary to have mitigation measures in place up front to address this potential impact? Engineering Division: 1. The Geotechnical Reconnaissance recommends that a subsurface investigation and an additional study (Geotechnical Investigation) be performed to fully analyze potential grading/structural impacts (i.e., liquefaction) for the project. With that said, we recommend that a full Geotechnical Investigation be performed now so that it can be integrated into the Project EIR. Then, subsurface conditions can be better understood and remedial grading/construction can be better analyzed and appropriate mitigation measures (if any) be imposed.

It appears that the proposed project assumes the continued use of some of the city owned land that the city is planning an alternative use for as shown in the HE. One of our concerns is that segregating these two projects could result in piecemealing of the environmental impacts. Please clarify this issue and explain the interrelationship and how this does not constitute piecemealing. - Impact on Buena Vista creek Creek hydrology has changed significantly since the original evaluation when this shopping center was built The existing creek buffers are insufficient to protect the functions of the creek. Any expansion should include fixing the damage the original design caused to the creek- restoring adequate buffers and providing for connectivity to the upstream BVCER and downstream lagoon. - Buena Vista Lagoon restoration A major restoration of BV Lagoon has been in the planning stages for several years. The EIR needs to assess the impact of this project on all of the potential lagoon restoration alternatives. - sewer lines Sewer spills have caused significant damage along this and the adjacent reaches of BV Creek. Several sewer system improvements- by the cities of Oceanside, Vista, and Carisbad have been proposed. Please identify all of these proposed system improvements in or near the project and how this project will impact them- or be impacted by them. - master trail plan The city has considered a pedestrian trail link that would connect the El Salto falls at the upper end of the Buena Vista Creek Valley all the way to the coast. Please include plans for such a pedestrian link through the project site and explain how access and security would be provided for pedestrians while not adversely effecting the riparian corridor through the project site. - Marron Rd extension The Circulation Element of the City of Carisbad still shows the extension of Marron Rd through from El Camino Real to College. The acquisition of the Sherman property included no easements for such a road extension and it would have to go through hardline preserve land and is not likely to be approved. Please include alternatives in the traffic analysis that eliminate this planned extension of Marron Rd. Also the RDO intersection with # 78 is still questionable so the traffic study should be done both with and without this new interchange. - El Camino Real highly congested corridor The El Camino Real corridor through several north county cities, including the project area, has been highly congested for some time and was supposed to be the focus of a corridor study several years ago. Please include discussion of these «# r- and how this proposed land use is consiftent with or in conflict with regional traffic improvment plans. - alternative transportation This project needs to include aggressive measures to reduce traffic impacts. This should include much more creative project design that integrates and encourages the use of alternative transportation. A comprehensive TDM Plan should be a required project mitigation- with bi-annual updates to assure that systems remain in place to reduce auto trips. Thank you for considering these comments.

(ASM) will conduct a Class 1 Inventory investigation for the Plaza Camino Real Constraints Study, San Diego County, Califomia. ASM has completed a records search at the Southeast Information Center. The records search did not yield any previously identified prehistoric and historic resources within the project area, but there are multiple resource within a one-mile radius of the area of potential effect (APE). The Califomia Native American Heritage Commission performed a search of their Sacred Lands Files (SLF), which failed to indicate the presence of Native American cultural resources in the immediate project area. We are contacting you to find out if you are aware of any issues of cultural concem regarding the area shown on the enclosed map. In particular, we would like to know if you have knowledge of any Traditional Cultural Properties, Sacred Sites, resource collecting areas, or any other areas of concem. We would like to be advised if there are any in the project area. We understand the need for confidentiality in these matters. If you have any questions or concems regarding the proposed project, we will consult with you regarding best way to include consideration of those concems while maintaining confidentiality. ASM can be contacted at the address and telephone number found at the bottom of this letter. We will also be contacting you by telephone shortly to follow up on this letter.

January 27,2010 Mr. Jason Goff CityofCarlsbad Plaiming Department 1635 FaradayAvenue Carlsbad, CA 92008 RE: NOP - Plaza Camino Real Revitalization Dear Mr. Goff: 11-SD-78 PM 1.49 SCH2010011004 (J \6. .0 C^^' The CaUfomia Department of Transportation (Caltrans) has reviewed the Notice of Preparation (NOP) for the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) for the Plaza Camino Real Revitalization Project located south of State Route 78 (SR-78) and east of Interstate 5 (1-5). Caltrans has the following comments: The San Diego Association of Govemments (SANDAG) and Caltrans are just getting underway with a SR-78 Corridor Study. SANDAG and Caltrans staff will work with North County jurisdictions, including Carlsbad, to coordinate a subregional study focusing on the SR-78 corridor. The study will assess the planned high occupancy vehicle (HOV) improvements and the ultimate corridor needs that would affect local planning decisions. Coordination with the SR- 78 Corridor Study as part of this development's potential impacts and mitigation to SR-78 is recommended, and Caltrans looks forward to working with the City of Carlsbad towards a mutual vision for improving transportation and land use along the SR-78 corridor. Please provide to Caltrans a copy of the traffic impact study (TIS) prior to the circulation of the DEIR. The TIS should assess the proposed project's near-term and long-term impacts to the State facilities - existing and proposed - and to propose appropriate mitigation measures. The study should use as a guideline the Caltrans Guide for the Preparation of Traffic Impact Studies (TIS guide enclosed). Minimum contents of the traffic impact study are listed in Appendix "A" of the TIS guide. The LOS for operating State highway facilities is based upon Measures of Effectiveness (MOE) identified in the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM). Caltrans endeavors to maintain a target LOS at the transition between LOS "C" and LOS "D" on State highway facilities; however, Caltrans acknowledges that this may not always be feasible and recommends that the lead agency consult with Caltrans to detennine the appropriate target LOS. If an existing State highway facility is operating at less than this target LOS, the existing MOE should be maintained. In general, the "Caltrans improves mobility across California" Mr. Jason Goff January 27, 2010 Page 2 region-wide goal for an acceptable LOS on all freeways, roadway segments, and intersections is "D". For undeveloped or not densely developed locations, the goal may be to achieve LOS "C". All State-owned signalized intersections affected by this project should be analyzed using the intersecting lane vehicle (ILV) procedure from the Caltrans Highway Design Manual, Topic 406, page 400-21. The geographic area examined in the traffic study should include as a minimum all regionally significant arterial system segments and intersections, including State highway facilities where the project will add over 100 peak hour trips. State highway facilities that are experiencing noticeable delays should be analyzed in the scope of the traffic study for projects that add 50 to 100 peak hour trips. A focused analysis may be required for project trips assigned to a State highway facility that is experiencing significant delay, such as where traffic queues exceed ramp storage capacities. A focused analysis may also be necessary if there is an increased risk of a potential traffic accident. All fi-eeway entrance and exit ramps where a proposed project will add a significant number of peak-hour trips that may cause any traffic queues to exceed storage capacities should be analyzed. If ramp metering is to occur, a ramp queue analysis for all nearby Caltrans metered on- ramps is required to identify the delay to motorists using the on-ramps and the storage necessary to accommodate the queuing. The effects of ramp metering should be analyzed in the traffic study. For metered freeway ramps, LOS does not apply. However, ramp meter delays above 15 minutes are considered excessive. The data used in the TIS should not be more than 2 years old. Caltrans endeavors that any direct and cumulative impacts to the State highway system be eliminated or reduced to a level of insignificance pursuant to the Califomia Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) standards. Mitigation measures to State facilities should be included in the traffic impact analysis. Mitigation identified in the traffic study, subsequent environmental documents, and mitigation monitoring reports, should be coordinated with Caltrans to identify and implement the appropriate mitigation. This includes the actual implementation and collection of any "fair share" monies, as well as the appropriate timing of the mitigation. Mitigation improvements should be compatible with Caltrans concepts. The lead agency should monitor impacts to insure that roadway segments and intersections remain at an acceptable Level of Service (LOS). Should the LOS reach unacceptable levels, the lead agency should delay the issuance ofbuilding permits for any project until the appropriate impact mitigation is implemented. Mitigation conditioned as part of a local agency's development approval for improvements to State facilities can be implemented either through a Cooperative Agreement between Caltrans "Caltrans improves mobility across California" 'Mr. Jason Goff January 27, 2010 Page 3 and the lead agency, or by the project proponent entering into an agreement directly with Caltrans for the mitigation. When that occurs, Caltrans will negotiate and execute a Traffic Mitigation Agreement. Any work performed within Caltrans right-of-way (R/W) will require discretionary review and approval by the Caltrans. Furthermore, the applicant's environmental documentation must include such work in their project description and indicate that an encroachment perrnit will be needed.

Califomia Dear Mr. Goff: The Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) is the state 'trustee agency' pursuant to Public Resources Code §21070 for the protection and preservation of California's Native American Cultural Resources.. (Also see Environmental Protection Information Center v. Johnson (1985) 170 Cal App. 3^ 604) The Califbrnia Environmental Quality Act (CEQA - CA Public Resources Code §21000- 21177, amended in 2009) requires that any project that causes a substantial adverse change in the significance of an historical resource, that includes archaeological resources, is a 'significant effect' requiring the preparation ofan Environmental Impact Report (EIR) per the Califbrnia Code of Regulations §15064.5(b)(c )(f) CEQA guidelines). Section 15382 ofthe CEQA Guidelines defines a significant impact on the environment as "a substantial, or potentially substantial, adverse change in any of physical conditions within an area affected by the proposed project, including ...objects of historic or aesthetic significance." In order to comply with this provision, the lead agency is required to assess whether the project will have an adverse impact on these resources within the 'area of potential effect (APE)', and if so, to mitigate that effect. To adequately assess the project-related impacts on historical resources, the Commission recommends the following. The Native American Heritage Commission did perform a Sacred Lands File (SLF) search in the NAHC SLF Inventory, established by the Legislature pursuant to Public Resources Code §5097.94(a) and Native American Cultural resources were not identified within one-half mile ofthe APE - City Boundaries. However, there are Native American cultural resources in close proximity to the Hesperia City Limits. Early consultation with Native American tribes in your area is the best way to avoid unanticipated discoveries once a project is undenvay. Enclosed are the names of the nearest tribes and interested Native American individuals that the NAHC recommends as 'consulting parties,' for this purpose, that may have knowledge ofthe religious and cultural significance ofthe historic properties in the project area (e.g. APE). We recommend that you contact persons on the attached list of Native American contacts. A Native American Tribe or Tribal Elder may be the only source of information about a cultural resource.. Also, the NAHC recommends that a Native American Monitor or Native American culturally knowledgeable person be employed whenever a professional archaeologist is employed during the 'Initial Study' and in other phases of the environmental planning processes.. Furthermore we suggest that you contact the Califbrnia Historic Resources Information System (CHRIS) at the Office of Historic Preservation (OHP) Coordinator's office (at (916) 653-7278, for referral to the nearest OHP Information Center ofwhich there are 11.. Consultation with tribes and interested Native American tribes and individuals, as consulting parties, on the NAHC list ,should be conducted in compliance with the requirements of federal NEPA (42 U.S.C. 4321-43351) and Section 106 and 4(f) of federal NHPA (16 U.S.C. 470 [f)]etse). 36 CFR Part 800.3, the President's Council on Environmental Quality (CSQ; 42 U.S.C. 4371 et seq) and NAGPRA (25 U.S.C. 3001-3013), as appropriate.. Lead agencies should consider avoidance, as defined in Section 15370 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) when significant cultural resources could be affected by a project. Also, Public Resources Code Section 5097.98 and Health & Safety Code Section 7050.5 provide for provisions fbr accidentally discovered archeological resources during construction and mandate the processes to be followed in the event of an accidental discovery of any human remains in a project location other than a 'dedicated cemetery. Discussion of these should be included in your environmental documents, as appropriate. The authority fbr the SLF record search of the NAHC Sacred Lands Inventory, established by the California Legislature, is California Public Resources Code §5097.94(a) and is exempt from the CA Public Records Act (cf Califomia Government Code §6254.10). The results ofthe SLF search are confidential. However, Native Americans on the attached contact iist are not prohibited from and may wish to reveal the nature of identified cultural resources/historic properties. Confidentiality of "historic properties of religious and cultural significance' may also be protected the under Section 304 of the NHPA or at the Secretary ofthe Interior' discretion if not eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. The Secretary may also be advised by the federal Indian Religious Freedom Act (cf. 42 U.S.C, 1996) in issuing a decision on whether or not to disclose items of religious and/or cultural significance identified in or near the APE and possibly threatened by proposed project activity. CEQA Guidelines, Section 15064.5(d) requires the lead agency to work with the Native Americans identified by this Commission if the initial Study identifies the presence or likely presence of Native American human remains within the APE. CEQA Guidelines provide for agreements with Native American, identified by the NAHC, to assure the appropriate and dignified treatment of Native American human remains and any associated grave liens. Health and Safety Code §7050.5, Public Resources Code §5097.98 and Sec. §15064.5 (d) ofthe California Code of Regulations (CEQA Guidelines) mandate procedures to be followed, including that construction or excavation be stopped in the event of an accidental discovery of any human remains in a location other than a dedicated cemetery until the county coroner or medical examiner can determine whether the remains are those of a Native American. . Note that §7052 of the Health & Safety Code states that disturbance of Native American cemeteries is a felony. Again. Lead aqencies should consider avoidance, as defined in SI 5370 ofthe California Code of Regulations (CEQA Guidelines), when significant cultural resources are discovered durina the course of proiect planning and implementation Please feel free to contact me at (916) 653-6251 if you have any questions. rely, / ^ Dave Singletbn Program Analyst Attachment: List of Native American Contacts Cc: State Clearinghouse Nativ^^merican Contacts San Diego County January 26, 2010 Barona Group of the Capitan Grande Edwin Romero, Chairperson 1095 Barona Road Diegueno Lakeside .

(SCH# 2010011004), SAN DIEGO COUNTY Dear Mr. Goff: The Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) has received your submitted Initial Study and Notice of Preparation (NOP) for an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the above-mentioned Project. The following project description is stated in your document: "The proposed revitalization of the Plaza Camino Real Regional Shopping Center involves the demolition, reconfiguration and/or reconstruction of approximately 179,631 square feet of existing square footage (mainly the existing Robinson's-May building), and the development of up to approximately 35,417 square feet of net new gross leasable space, for a total of approximately 1,186,509 gross leasable square feet of regional shopping center uses. The project is 82.28 acres in size and is contained entirely within the boundaries of the Plaza Camino Real Regional Shopping Center and within the city limits of Carlsbad, California. Specifically, it is located in the northwest quadrant of the City of Carlsbad, west of El Camino Real and south of Highway 78, Buena Vista Creek, and the City's boundary with the City of Oceanside. The southeast area ofthe property straddles the north and south sides of Marron Road, near the El Camino Real intersection. All the required permits and approvals are being requested with the EIR". DTSC has the following comments: 1) The EIR should identify the current or historic uses at the project site that may have resulted in a release of hazardous wastes/substances, and any known or Mr. Jason Goff January 25, 2010 Page 2 potentially contaminated sites within the proposed Project area. For all identified sites, the EIR should evaluate whether conditions at the site may pose a threat to human health or the environment. Following are the databases of some of the pertinent regulatory agencies: National Priorities List (NPL): A list maintained by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S.EPA). EnviroStor: A Database primarily used by the California Department of Toxic Substances Control, accessible through DTSC's website (see below). Resource Conservation and Recovery Information System (RCRIS): A database of RCRA facilities that is maintained by U.S. EPA. Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Informafion System (CERCLIS): A database of CERCLA sites that is maintained by U.S.EPA. Solid Waste Information System (SWIS): A database provided by the California Integrated Waste Management Board which consists of both open as well as closed and inactive solid waste disposal facilifies and transfer stations. Leaking Underground Storage Tanks (LUST) / Spills, Leaks, Investigations and Cleanups (SLIC): A list that is maintained by Regional Water Quality Control Boards. Local Counties and Cifies maintain lists for hazardous substances cleanup sites and leaking underground storage tanks. The United States Army Corps of Engineers, 911 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, California, 90017, (213) 452-3908, maintains a list of Formerly Used Defense Sites (FUDS). 2) The EIR should identify the mechanism to inifiate any required investigafion and/or remediafion for any site that may be contaminated, and the government agency to provide appropriate regulatory oversight. If necessary, DTSC would require an oversight agreement in order to review such documents. Please see comment No.11 below for more information. 3) All environmental invesfigations, sampling and/or remediation for the site should be conducted under a Workplan approved and overseen by a regulatory agency that has jurisdicfion to oversee hazardous substance cleanup. The findings of any investigations, including any Phase I or II Environmental Site Assessment Investigations should be summarized in the document. All sampling results in Mr. Jason Goff January 25, 2010 Page 2 which hazardous substances were found should be clearly summarized in a table. 4) Proper investigation, sampling and remedial actions overseen by the respective regulatory agencies, if necessary, should be conducted at the site prior to the new development or any construcfion. All closure, certificafion or remediation approval reports by these agencies should be included in the EIR. 5) If buildings or other structures, asphalt or concrete-paved surface areas are being planned to be demolished, an investigafion should be conducted for the presence of other related hazardous chemicals, lead-based paints or products, mercury, and asbestos containing materials (ACMs). If other hazardous chemicals, lead-based paints or products, mercury or ACMs are identified, proper precautions should be taken during demolition activities. Additionally, the contaminants should be remediated in compliance with California environmental regulations and policies. 6) Project construction may require soil excavation or filling in certain areas. Sampling may be required. If soil is contaminated, it must be properly disposed and not simply placed in another locafion onsite. Land Disposal Restricfions (LDRs) may be applicable to such soils. Also, if the project proposes to import soil to backfill the areas excavated, sampling should be conducted to ensure that the imported soil is free of contaminafion. 7) Human health and the environment of sensitive receptors should be protected during the construcfion or demolifion activities. If it is found necessary, a study of the site and a health risk assessment overseen and approved by the appropriate government agency and a qualified health risk assessor should be conducted to determine if there are, have been, or will be, any releases of hazardous materials that may pose a risk to human health or the environment. 8) If it is determined that hazardous wastes are, or will be, generated by the proposed operations, the wastes must be managed in accordance with the California Hazardous Waste Control Law (California Health and Safety Code, Division 20, Chapter 6.5) and the Hazardous Waste Control Regulafions (California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 4.5). If it is determined that hazardous wastes will be generated, the facility should also obtain a United States Environmental Protection Agency Identification Number by contacting (800) 618-6942. Certain hazardous waste treatment processes or hazardous materials, handling, storage or uses may require authorization from the local Certified Unified Program Agency (CUPA). Information about the requirement for authorizafion can be obtained by contacfing your local CUPA. Mr. Jason Goff January 25, 2010 Page 2 9) If during construction/demolition of the project, the soil and/or groundwater contamination is suspected, construction/demolition in the area should cease and appropriate health and safety procedures should be implemented. 10) If the site was used for agricultural, livestock or related activities, onsite soils and groundwater might contain pesficides, agricultural chemical, organic waste or other related residue. Proper investigation, and remedial actions, if necessary, should be conducted underthe oversight of and approved by a government agency at the site prior to construction of the project. 11) DTSC can provide guidance for cleanup oversight through an Environmental Oversight Agreement (EOA) for government agencies that are not responsible parties under CERCLA, or a Voluntary Cleanup Agreement (VCA) for private parties. For addifional information on the EOA or VCA, please see www.dtsc.ca.gov/SiteCleanup/Brownfields, or contact Ms. Maryam Tasnif-Abbasi, DTSC's Voluntary Cleanup Coordinator, at (714) 484-5489.

This 2""^ meeting is to allow those who were unable to attend the 1*' meeting, held on January 19, 2010, an opportunity to submit written and verbal comments. No new information will be provided. The purpose of the meeting is to solicit input from you related to any potential environmental effects on the property and surrounding environment of the Plaza Camino Real Revitalization project. Your ideas will help us to decide what issues to analyze in the environmental review of this project. Written and verbal comments may be given at this meeting. Project Description: The proposed revitalization of the Plaza Camino Real regional shopping center involves the demolition, reconfiguration and/or reconstruction of approximately 179,631 square feet of existing square footage (mainly the existing Robison's-May building), and the development of up to 35,417 square feet of net new gross leasable space for a total of approximately 1,186,509 gross leasable square feet of regional shopping center uses. Project location: The proposed revitalization area is contained entirely within the boundaries of the Plaza Camino Real Regional Shopping Center and within the city limits of Carlsbad, CA. Specifically, it is located in the northwest quadrant of the city of Carlsbad, west of El Camino Real and south of Highway 78, Buena Vista Creek, and the city's boundary with the city of Oceanside. The southeast area of the property straddles the north and south sides of Marron Road, near the El Camino Real intersection (please see the attached vicinity map). Potential Environmental Effects: The key environmental considerations anticipated to be addressed in the EIR include: Aesthetics, Air Quality, Global Climate Change/Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Hydrology/Water Quality, Land Use and Pianning, Noise, Transportation/T raffic, and Utilities and Service Systems. Pursuant to Section 15128 of the Guidelines for Implementation 1635 Faraday Avenue • Carlsbad, CA 92008-7314 • (760) 602-4600 • FAX (760) 602-8559 • www.ci.carlsbad.ca.us ^ ofthe California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the remaining environmental considerations would be addressed in the "Effects Found not to be Significant" portion of the EIR. The EIR will also include a discussion of reasonable alternatives to the proposed project. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.6, alternatives will be developed that would avoid or lessen identified significant impacts of the proposed project, while feasibly attaining most of the basic objectives of the project. The following permits and approvals are being requested with the EIR: 1. Specific Plan (SP 09-01): The Specific Plan will describe the existing developed regional shopping center, the proposed limited expansion, and will provide development standards, design criteria, and procedures for future development of Plaza Camino Real. The Specific Plan will include a full public facilities analysis within the framework of the Carlsbad Growth Management Plan. Subsequent development applications will be reviewed by the City for compliance with the Specific Plan. Future development proposals may require amendments to the Specific Plan or other discretionary approvals. The City Council will adopt the Plaza Camino Real Specific Plan (SP 09-01) by ordinance. 2. Site Development Plan (SDP 09-04): A Site Development Plan is proposed for the physical revitalization improvements and limited expansion area of the regional shopping center. 3. Tentative Tract Map. A Tentative Tract Map may be necessary in order to create air space ownership rights, new lots, adjust lot lines, and address other land ownership issues. 4. Precise Plan Amendment. The existing Plaza Camino Real Shopping Center was developed under a Precise Plan (PP 24). The existing Precise Plan (PP 24) and all other subsequent amendments (PP 24(A) - PP 24(J)) will be superseded by the above noted actions. 5. Ground Lease(s). Lease(s) of portions of the City-owned parking lot may be necessary for the proposed commercial outparcel pads. 6. Amendments to Real Estate Documents. Various real estate documents, including deeds and/or parking agreements, may need to be amended.

Sincerely, Bruce Mclntyre Environmental Planning Group Manager PLAZA CAMINO REAL SPECIFIC PLAN AND RELATED APPLICATIONS PROJECT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT SCOPE OF WORK EIR 09-02 PROJECT LOCATION & DESCRIPTION The City of Cartsbad is soliciting proposals for the preparation of a Project Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the revitalization and limited expansion of the Plaza Camino Real shopping center, located in the northwest quadrant of the City of Carlsbad, in Local Facilities Management Zone 1. Plaza Camino Real is an existing regional shopping center on an approximately 93 acre site located in the northwest portion of the city at the City's northern entrance along El Camino Real. The shopping center is west of El Camino Real, north of Marron Road and south of State Route 78 and the Buena Vista Creek. A small 2.9 acre portion of the center is located at the southwest corner of El Camino Real and Marron Road. There is a wooded open space area with steep slopes of 50 to 70 feet on the south side of Marron Road with existing three-story multifamily housing atop the slope. There are local/neighborhood commercial developments west of Plaza Camino Real and to the east and south across El Camino Real. Originally developed in the late 1960's and expanded several times subsequent, the indoor regional shopping center currently has 1,151,092 square feet of gross leaseable area, inclusive of five major retail anchor store buildings (Sears, Macy's, Macy's Men's and Home, JC Penney and the former Robinson's-May store). The two and three-story shopping center structures are situated near the center of the site along a significant grade break, which runs east to west and divides the higher southerly one-third of the site from the lower northerly two-thirds. The shopping center buildings are nnged with surface parking lots on the north, south, west and east with 6,402 parking stalls and five existing outparcel buildings. A portion of the northerty parking lot is located in the City of Oceanside, but no development is being proposed in that area. As such, that area is not included as part of this application. The parking areas are constructed on land owned by the City of Cartsbad and the Parking Authority of the City of Carlsbad, and by agreement is used solely for public parking. The intent of this Plaza Camino Real revitalization and limited expansion project is to update and revitalize the regional shopping center. The Specific Plan area includes all of Plaza Camino Real shopping center from El Camino Real west to the North County Transit Distnct bus transfer shelter; from the northerly City boundary with the City of Oceanside to Marron Road, and the sliver property developed with a movie theater and two financial buildings at the southwest corner of El Camino Real and Marron Road (see enclosed current conceptual plans). The proposed shopping center revitalization involves the demolition, reconfiguration and/or reconstruction of approximately 179,631 square feet of existing square footage (mainly the existing Robinson's-May building), and the development of up to approximately 35,417 square feet of net new gross leaseable space, for a total of approximately 1,186,509 gross leasable square feet. The expansion element of the project represents an increase of approximately 3% in leasable area over the existing shopping center's leasable area. The proposed revitalization is primarily focused on the easterly half of the site adjacent to El Camino Real and the southerly one-third of the site adjacent to Marron Road, displacing roughly 306 net surface parking stalls and creating new internally and externally oriented retail space, restaurant pads, theater and 11^ REAL SPECIFIC PLAN AND RELA^ft , EIR 09-02 - PLAZA CAMIRC REAL SPECIFIC PLAN AND RELATK) APPLICATIONS September 29, 2009 Paqe 2 grocery market, or other retail/lifestyle/entertainment commercial uses. The project will pnmarily be built within the existing building envelopes, with a small amount of new building area adjacent to the existing envelopes and in outparcel locations. Additionally, the existing theater and adjacent parking area at the southwest corner of the El Camino Real and Marron Road intersection will be demolished, and a new retail outparcel with a 42 space parking lot will be built in its place. In addition to required background and consistency information, the proposed Specific Plan contains goals and implementation measures, permitted land uses, and development standards (e.g. building height, parking, and lighting) and design guidelines commensurate with a regional retail center. In order for any future development proposals to be guided by the Specific Plan and in order to allow the city to review future proposals for compliance with the Specific Plan, it may also be necessary to amend the Local Facilities Management Plan for Zone 1. A range of project alternatives will need to be provided; the City of Carlsbad and Westfield, LLC are co-applicants. COVERAGE OF THE PROJECT EIR The Project EIR will cover the Plaza Camino Real Specific Plan and limited expansion of the regional shopping center. Discretionarv Actions The following actions/approvals will be under consideration by the City of Carlsbad Planning Commission and City Council as part of the proposed project and as analyzed in this EIR: 1. Specific Plan (SP 09-01). The Specific Plan will describe the existing developed regional shopping center, the proposed limited expansion and provide guidelines for future development. The Specific Plan will include a full public facilities analysis within the framework of the Carisbad Growth Management Plan. Subsequent development applications will be reviewed by the City for compliance with the Specific Plan. Future development proposals may require amendments to the Specific Plan or other discretionary approvals. The City Council will need to adopt the Plaza Camino Real Specific Plan (SP 09-01) by ordinance. 2. Site Development Plan. A Site Development Plan is necessary for the physical revitalization and limited expansion of the regional shopping center. 3. Tentative Tract Map. A Tentative Tract Map is necessary in order to create air space ownership rights, new lots, adjust lot lines, and address other land ownership issues. 4. Scenic Corridor Special Use Permit.

Mass transit will continue to be limited to bus routes determined to be feasible by the North County Transit District (NCTD). Although the project has been designed to accommodate public transit on-site, accessed from Marron Road, development anticipated under the Specific Plan may result in an incremental increase in local and regional air pollution. Grading for the project may also contribute to the generation of fugitive dust. The San Diego Air Basin is classified as a "severe" non-attainment area for both federal and state standards for ozone (smog). The San Diego Air Basin also exceeds the state standard for airborne particulate matter. Impacts from the project may include construction emissions, equipment exhaust, fugitive dust, and vehicle emissions. The project's impact may be significant as the region presently does not meet air quality standards. Additional mitigation measures may be necessary such as construction emission and dust controls, providing for public transit in the project design and implementation of various Transportation Control Measures (TCM's) to reduce trips, vehicle usage, miles traveled, idling, or traffic congestion. Tasks: 1. The consultant shall discuss the project setting, including a review of the regional meteorology. The consultant shall review and address both short-term and long-term air quality impacts of the project.

HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY Project Background During construction, the proposed project will incorporate the required erosion and sedimentation control devices to mitigate potential water quality and biological impacts from erosion. For post-construction, altered runoff patterns from newly created impervious surfaces such as new building areas in previously paved areas combined with urban pollutants associated with the proposed development may impact the Buena Vista Creek, Buena Vista Lagoon, and/or the Pacific Ocean. Mitigation measures to reduce these impacts, as prescribed EIR 09-02 - PLAZA CAMft REAL SPECIFIC PLAN AND RELA^ APPLICATIONS September 29, 2009 Page 12 by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), San Diego Region, may be required. Development and implementation of Best Management Practices (BMPs) and compliance with National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit requirements is required for urban pollutant runoff mitigation. If the project qualifies as a Priority Development Project per the City Standard Urban Runoff Management Plan (SUSMP), preliminary Storm Water Management Plans (SWMPs) must be prepared for the proposed project and/or any future projects to analyze existing/proposed pollutant loads, and identify best management practices to either avoid contact with run-off or treat urban run-off to remove pollutants prior to discharge. Tasks: 1. Using available data, the consultant shall describe the hydrological setting (existing hydrological conditions) of the site and general drainage characteristics. A discussion of existing water quality, based on available RWQCB data for the project, shall also be included in the EIR. 2.

LAND USE AND PLANNING Proiect Background Plaza Camino Real is an existing regional shopping center on an approximately 93 acre site located in the northwest portion of the city at the city's northern entrance along El Camino Real. The shopping center is west of El Camino Real, north of Marron Road and south of State Route 78 and the Buena Vista Creek. A small 2.9 acre portion of the center is located at the southwest corner of the El Camino Real and Marron Road intersection. There is a wooded open space area with steep slopes of 50 to 70 feet on the south side of Marron Road with existing three-story multifamily housing atop the slope. There is other local neighborhood commercial development west of Plaza Camino Real, and to the east and south across El Camino Real. The site has a General Plan Land Use designation of Regional Commercial (R) and Zoning designation of General Commercial (C-2). Originally developed in late 1960's and expanded several times subsequent, the indoor regional shopping center currently has 1,151,092 square feet of gross leaseable area, inclusive of five major retail anchor store buildings (Sears, Macy's, Macy's Men's and Home, JC Penney and the former Robinson's-May store). The two and three-story shopping center structures are situated near the center of the site along a significant grade break that runs east to west and divides the higher southerly one-third of the site from the lower northerty two-thirds. The shopping center buildings are ringed with surface parking lots on the north, south, west and east with 6,402 parking stalls and five existing outparcel buildings. A portion of the northerly parking lot is located in the City of Oceanside, but no development is being proposed in that area. As such, that area is not included as part of this application. The parking areas are constructed on land owned by the City of Cartsbad and the Parking Authority of the City of Carisbad and by agreement is used solely for public parking. The intent of this Plaza Camino Real revitalization and limited expansion project is to update and revitalize the regional shopping center. The Specific Plan area includes all of Plaza Camino Real shopping center from El Camino Real west to the North County Transit District bus transfer shelter; from the northerty City boundary with the City of Oceanside to Marron Road, and the sliver property developed with a movie theater and two financial buildings at the southwest corner of El Camino Real and Marron Road (see enclosed current conceptual plans). The proposed shopping center revitalization involves the demolition, reconfiguration and/or reconstruction of approximately 179,631 square feet of existing square footage (mainly the existing Robinson's-May building), and the development of up to approximately 35,417 square feet of net new gross leaseable space, for a total of approximately 1,186,509 gross leaseable square feet. The expansion element of the project represents an increase of approximately 3% in leasable area over the existing shopping center's leasable area. The proposed revitalization is primarily focused on the easteriy half of the site adjacent to El Camino Real and the southerty one-third of the site adjacent to Marron Road, displacing roughly 306 net surface parking stalls and creating new internally and externally oriented retail space, restaurant pads, theater and grocery market or other retail/lifestyle/entertainment commercial uses. The project will primarily be built within the existing building envelopes, with a small amount of new building area adjacent to the existing envelopes and in outparcel locations. Additionally, the existing theater lft REAL SPECIFIC PLAN AND RELA^), EIR 09-02 - PLAZA CAMiTfD REAL SPECIFIC PLAN AND RELAITO APPLICATIONS September 29, 2009 Page 14 and adjacent parking area at the southwest corner of El Camino Real and Marron Road will be demolished, and a new retail outparcel with a 42 space parking lot will be built in its place. In addition to required background and consistency information, the Specific Plan contains goals and implementation measures, permitted land uses, and development standards (e.g. building height, parking, and lighting) and design guidelines commensurate with a regional retail center. In order for any future development proposals to be guided by the Specific Plan and in order to allow the city to review future proposals for compliance with the Specific Plan, it may also be necessary to amend the Local Facilities Management Plan for Zone 1.

Standard City Contract » Hofman Planning & Engineering Planning Civil Engineering Fiscal Services Coastal September 22, 2009 Lisa Hildabrand City Manager 1200 Carlsbad Village Drive Carlsbad, CA 92008 Subject: Plaza Camino Real Environmental Impact Report Contract Dear Lisa: This letter is a follow up to my phone conversation with you yesterday. As we discussed, the standard city practice for awarding a service contract for the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) that exceeds $100,000 is to require City Council approval. This derives firom C.M.C. Section 3.28.060 D. 5. -Procurement of Professional Services. Upon closer review of the specific wording of this provision, it actually states that the City Council only is required to approve city contracts for expenditures of $100,000 or more in the case where it is a cost to the city. The section is as follows: 3.28.060 D. 5. The City Council shall be the awarding authority for procurement of services and professional services for which the cost to the city is more than one hundred thousand dollars per agreement year. (Emphasis added) In the case of the Plaza Camino Real EIR, it will be entirely funded by Westfield at no cost to the city. Based on the actual wording of this section, we believe the City Manager would be the awarding authority for this contract since the cost to the city will be less than $100,000. Obviously, Westfield benefits by shortening the overall EIR processing time, and the city will benefit by achieving the much needed upgrade to PCR in a shorter time freime. I am asking that you review this section and confirm our understanding. If you have any questions, please call me at 760-692-4012. Thank you for looking into this request.
