Program Amendment Request pending Commission action in June. This information is provided in addition to our letter of May 3, 1996, responding to your earlier concerns. I will follow this letter with a letter enumerating the items that we verbally discussed earlier today. My client sees no reason to Mher delay the consideration of this item based on the location of an arterial roadway whose location has been determined by Commission actions taken on pfojects recommended for approval by Coastal stafF. The mclosed documents show the alignment ofPoinsettia Lane (document A) that was considered in the certified E.I.R.. The text explaining that alternative alignments were considered is included along with an exhibit (documents B and C) depicting the alternatives considered. The portion of the roadway that you are questioning is fvred due the existing previously approved intersection of Poinsettia and Alga. (Quon correspondence of May 13,1996). This portion was included as a portion of both alternative alignments. The biological impact summary table is included as document E, along the appropriate portion of the mitigation and impact map (document F). As you can see topographic base mapping was used in the analysis conducted under the certified E.K.R. The alignment of this road has been subject to fill C.E.Q,A. review, evaluation by United States Fish and Wildlife Service, the California Department of Fish and Game and the City of Carlsbad’~ )LMp staff. All parties have found the alignment’s impacts less than significant with the implementation of recommended mitigation measures. 8511 7/ 1996 11 : 28 61 94388981 c JACK HENTHORN PAGE 83 The applicant has already purchased the required mitigation credits in the Carlsbad Highlands Mitigation bank at a cost of over $150,000 in satisfaction of the HMP, Certified Environmental Impact Report and Endangered Species Act requirements. A formal request to maintain the June hearing date will be filed with the Commission to avoid fbrther unnecessary delays. If you have any questions or need additionai information, please contact me at your convenience. ac E.

If, however, the results of the EIA shows that the development proposal could have a significant environmental effect, the City may require that additional studies and/or technical reports be submitted for review and approval, including a Mitigated Negative Declaration (pursuant to the mitigation measures outlined herein), Supplemental EIR, or Subsequent EIR, in accordance with'CEQA requirements. Regardless of the level of future environmental analysis required, Environmental Review Area I will serve as a "flag' to City planning staff derting them that properties located within this designation are more Likely to develop Arst and, therefore, will soon require initiation of the environmental review process discussed above. 2.3.3 The project includes two alternative alignments along an approximate 4,200-foot stretch of Poinsettia Lane within the Zone 20 SPA (Figure 2.3-4). The northernmost alignment shown on this figure is the City's preferred, or proposed, alignment, The southernmost alignment is referred to as the "Alternative Alignment". Due to the close proximity of both alternative alignments, it will be assumed for purposes of this more general, program-level analysis that the potential environmental effects associated with this portion of Poinsettia he an essentially similar, Therefore, the reader should be aware that the environmental analysis conducted henin for the proposed Poinsettia Lane applies to the "Alternative Alignment", as well. The propored project also includes the future off-site extension of Poinsettia Lana from the SPA boundary easterly to its connection with El Camino Rad (Figure 2.34). Two alternative alignments ('A' and 'B') are being considered by the City at this time. This planned roadway alignment would traverse through portions of LFMP Zones 19 and 21. 2.3.4 ]Phasinn The Zone 20 LFMP conlains a detailed development phasing program to ensure that adequate public facilities exist concurrent with nd. This phasing progmn is provided for phnhg purposes only and does not mandate the fate of development within the Zone 20 SPA. As long as adequate public facilities are provided concurrent with need, SPA development may be allowed. Although the Specific Plan identifies five Planning Areas (see above discusaion), these areas do not represent the wrticipatcd phasing of development within the SPA, Given the multiple ownership within the SPA, it is impossible to accuratdy predict the timing of development of any given property, Therefore, anticipated phasing Will be determined by the availability of public facilities. Residential phasing projections for Zone 20 LFMP are provided on Table 2.3-1 in order to plan for public facilities. The program provides these projections to establish thresholds which necessitate the need for additional facilities. The Growth Management Program and Zone 20 LFMP anticipate that the actual phasing of development in this zone will vary from theje projections. In no instance, however, will a change in phasing result in the failure of any performance standard to be met. The public facility thresholds established in this pmgram will ensure that compiiance with the adopted performmce standards is maintained, or no development will be allowed until compliance is reached. n 11-10 85/17/1996 11: 28 6194388981 JACK HENTHORN PAGE 86 ----, AknatiJe Alignr - Source: Rick Englneerlng Ca. & Buccola Englneerlng.
