PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Request for an amendment to Zone 24 LFMP to include revisions to the Financing Plan and changes to reflect current status of certain facilities ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS STATE CEQA GUIDELINES, Chapter^, Article 5, section 15063 requires that the City conduct an Environmental Impact Assessment to determine if a project may have a significant effect on the environment. The Environmental Impact Assessment appears in the following pages in the form of a checklist. This checklist identifies any physical, biological and human factors that might be impacted by the proposed project and provides the City with information to use as the basis for deciding whether to prepare an Environmental Impact Report or Negative Declaration. * A Negative Declaration may be prepared if the City perceives no substantial evidence that the project or any of its aspects may cause a significant effect on the environment. On the checklist, "NO" will be checked to indicate this determination. * An EIR must be prepared if the City determines that there is substantial evidence that any aspect of the project may cause a significant effect on the environment. The project may qualify for a Negative Declaration however, if adverse impacts are mitigated so that environmental effects can be deemed insignificant. These findings are shown in the checklist under the headings "YES-sig" and "YES-insig" respectively. A discussion of potential impacts and the proposed mitigation measures appears at the end of the form under DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION. Particular attention should be given to discussing mitigation for impacts which would otherwise be determined significant.

X -4- MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE WILL THE PROPOSAL DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY: YES YES NO (sig) (msig) 33. Does the project have the potential to substantially degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wild- life species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining „ levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or en- dangered plant or animal, or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory. X 34. Does the project have the potential to achieve short-term, to the dis- advantage of long-term, environmental goals? (A short-term impact on the environment is one which occurs in a relatively brief, definitive period of time while long-term impacts will endure well into the future.) 35. Does the project have the possible environmental effects which are in- dividually limited but cumulatively considerable? ("Cumulatively con- siderable" means that the incremental effects of an individual project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects.) 36. Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? X -5- DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION The proposed LFMP amendment and financing plan are covered by previously approved Negative Declarations issued by the Planning Director on August 19, 1988 and November 1, 1990, (attached). The prior environmental documentation prepared for LFMP 24 included considerations for all facilities required as part of the Plan including Parks, Circulation, sewer, water, city administrative facilities and library, wastewater, drainage, open space and schools. The proposed changes to the LFMP will not alter the ability of the City to achieve these facilities nor significantly change potential environmental impacts of implementing these facilities as covered by prior environmental documentation. There have been no significant changes to the original project and there are no changes in circumstances under which significant impacts will occur. Although the Zone 24 LFMP did not originally include a financing plan, implementation of plan objectives was inherent in the Zone 24 LFMP. The prior environmental documentation therefore covered impacts of the financing of this plan. The Evan's Point Reservoir and associated water lines have been deleted from the 1990 Water Master Plan as the Carlsbad Municipal Water District determined that these facilities are unnecessary. The LFMP is being amended to be consistent with the Water Master Plan. The Environmental impacts of providing needed water facilities, as determined in the 1990 Water Master Plan, were reviewed in prior environmental documentation, with the conclusion that there were no anticipated significant impacts from implementation of the Water Master Plan. Project level environmental review will be required for the development of all water facilities identified in the Master Plan. -6- ANALYSIS OF VIABLE ALTERNATIVES TO THE PROPOSED PROJECT SUCH AS: *a) Phased development of the project, b) alternate site designs, c) alternate scale of development, d) alternate uses for the site, e) development at some future time rather than now, f) alternate sites for the proposed project, and g) no project alternative Viable alternatives to the proposed project were analyzed in previously approved environmental documents. -7- DETERMINATION (To Be Completed By The Planning Department) • On the basis of this initial evaluation: I find the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. _X I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, because the environmental effects of the proposed project have already been considered in conjunction with previously certified environmental documents and no additional environmental review is required. Therefore, a Notice of Determination has been prepared. I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described on an attached sheet have been added to the project. A Conditional Negative Declaration will be proposed. I find the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required. it If} J. e SiDate Signature Date Planning TWvd -8- Citv of Carlsbad Planning Department NEGATIVE DECLARATION PROJECT ADDRESS/LOCATION: City of Carlsbad Citywide Potable Water Master Plan PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Review of the Carlsbad Municipal Water District's Potable Master Plan for consistency with the City's General Plan.

Included within the plan are only those improvements to be constructed by the Carlsbad Municipal Water District. Improvements required by any developer as conditioned by a specific project will be reviewed at the individual project level. While this Master Plan makes specific recommendations as to the upgrades and new facilities, each municipal project will receive its own environmental review and general plan consistency evaluation. As, such, it has been determined that the Potable Water Master Plan does not produce any adverse environmental effects in and of itself. PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT 1. The Potable Water Master Plan does not involve individual project approval and, therefore, no unstable earth conditions or geologic hazards will result from this conceptual master plan. 2. No specific project is proposed with this master plan, therefore, no change in topography or unique physical features will result. -\ 3. Each project suggested in this master plan will receive independent environmental review, therefore, no site specific soils impacts will result from this plan. 4. This master plan will not result in any modification to any natural watercourse as it only suggests conceptual improvements to be reviewed on a project-by-project basis. 5. Construction of each project will produce an incremental increase in aerosols and change the radiative and evaporative properties of the surfaces. However, these increases will be reviewed in more detail at the project specific environmental review process. 6. See #5 above. 7. See #4 above. 8. The master plan proposes implementation methodology that will provide ample public water supply from the present to the ultimate buildout of the City. The affects of each project on surface and ground water will be reviewed on a project-by-project basis. 9. Construction of each project will produce an incremental increase in usage of fossil fuels, however, the impacts of this incremental increase will be reviewed on the specific project level. i 10. See #9 above. 11. This master plan is conceptual only. The existence of any archeologically or historically significant site or object will be evaluated with the individual project environmental review. -6- BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT 12. As stated previously, the Potable Water Master Plan does not involve site specific project review. The individual environmental analysis will evaluate any project specific impacts to flora or fauna, including habitats and introduction of new species. 13. See #12 above. 14. The evaluation of possible loss of acreage of agricultural crop of farmland will be conducted at the individual project level. As such, this master plan in and of itself does not produce adverse effects to this resource. 15. See #12 above. 16. See #12 above. 17. The master plan is based on current and planned landuse and therefore no alteration is proposed. 18. The potable water master plan provides a guide for development of a vital public utility, therefore no adverse affects will result. 19. The development of waste systems to accommodate the increased water availability will be according to the City's Sewer Master Plan. The adequacy of waste systems for each improvement will be evaluated on a project-by-project basis. 20. The potential incremental increase in noise or light and glare during construction and perhaps operation of any recommended improvement will be evaluated at the project-level environmental review. 21. See #20 above. 22. Since the master plan does not involve site-specific details on construction of any improvements, the risk of explosion, release of hazardous substance, or any risk of upset must be evaluated on the improvement project level. 23. While the water master plan will allow residential development to occur according to the City's General Plan, the master plan does not independently alter density, population or housing supply. 24. See #23 above. 25. Although the Water Master Plan will indirectly allow for future development, the adequacy of circulation utilities, to accommodate any possible increase in traffic, including all terrestrial waterborne, rail and air traffic, will be evaluated on a project-by-project basis. -7- 26. The water master plan does not affect any existing parking facilities nor does it create a parking demand as it is only conceptual and any site specific parking impacts will be evaluated with each improvement project. 27. See #25 above. 28. See #25 above. 29. Any site specific traffic hazards will be evaluated on a project-by-project basis and, as such, the water master plan has no independent traffic hazard potential. 30. This conceptual plan will not have any adverse affects on emergency response or evacuation plans and any site specific impacts will be evaluated at the project level environmental review. 31. Since the master plan does not deal with site-specific issues, such as scenic vistas or recreational opportunities, the individual projects will have to comply with these environmental issues. 32. See #31 above. 33. As discussed previously, the site specific environmental issues related to the recommended improvements will be reviewed on a project-by-project basis. This includes any long-term or cumulative effects as well as any direct or indirect adverse effects on human beings. 34. See #33 above. 35. See #33 above. 36. See #33 above. -8- t' ANALYSIS OF VIABLE ALTERNATIVES TO THE PROPOSED PROJECT SUCH AS: a) Phased development of the project, b) alternate site designs, c) alternate scale of development, d) alternate uses for the site, e) development at some future time rather than now, f) alternate sites for the proposed, and g) no project alternative. A) The Potable Water Master Plan already proposes phasing of improvements. B) Since no site designs are proposed with this master plan, alternates will be considered. C) The scale of improvements recommended by the Master Plan are based on the City's General Plan. Alternate scales of development would not provide the necessary level of service. D) See "B" above. E) Since the master plan proposes development through time, with performance standards to be continually evaluated, no alternatives exist. F) See "B" above. G) The no project alternative would halt expansion of a vital public facility and conflict with the General Plan of the City.

Date Signature -11- SEPTEMBER 27, 1993 SUBJECT: ENVIRONMENTAL ON LPMP 87-24(A) - ZONE 24 LFMP UPDATE JUSTIFICATION FOR PRIOR COMPLIANCE DETERMINATION The proposed LFMP amendment and financing Plan are covered by previously approved Negative Declarations issued by the Planning Director on August 19, 1988 and November 1, 1990, (attached). The prior environmental documentation prepared for LFMP 24 included considerations for all facilities required as part of the Plan including Parks, Circulation, sewer, water, city administrative facilities and library, wastewater, drainage, open space and schools. The proposed changes to the LFMP will not alter the ability of the City to achieve these facilities nor significantly change potential environmental impacts of implementing these facilities as covered by prior environmental documentation. Although the Zone 24 LFMP did not originally include a financing plan, implementation of plan objectives was inherent in the Zone 24 LFMP. The prior environmental documentation therefore covered impacts of the financing of this Plan. The Evan's Point reservoir and associated water lines have been deleted from the 1990 Water Master Plan as the Carlsbad Municipal Water District determined that these facilities are unnecessary. The LFMP is being amended to be consistent with the Water Master Plan. The Environmental impacts of providing needed water facilities, as determined in the 1990 Water Master Plan, were reviewed in prior environmental documentation, with the conclusion that there were no anticipated significant impacts from implementation of the Water Master Plan. Project level environmental review will be required for the development of all water facilities identified in the Master Plan. The potential environmental impacts of LFMP 87-24(A) are covered in previously certified environmental documents, therefore no additional environmental review is necessary and a notice of determination should be filed.

DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION The Local Facilities Management Plan for Zone 24 is a facilities planning document, the intent of the plan is to establish parameters and thresholds that assure public facilities are available when needed as determined by the City's adopted performance standards. To accomplish this purpose occasionally locations and costs of public facility improvements are estimated for informational purposes. These estimates may result in increased development fees. Traditionally the developer in maximizing their capital return passes such fees on to the home buyer or tenant. This results in higher priced housing which affects the availability of low and moderate income housing. However, as real estate value is determined primarily by location, without other market incentives, it is unreasonable to assume the subject property would be developed with either low or moderate income housing due to its proximity to the Pacific Ocean and the existing General Plan designation. -7- IV.

Where All Students Learn Excellently" October 19, 1993 Mr. Michael Holzmiller Planning Director City Of Carlsbad 2075 Las Palmas Drive Carlsbad, CA 92009 Dear Mr. Holzmiller, It is our understanding that the Planning Commission will consider an LFMP Amendment for Zone 24 on October 20. Please be advised that the status of Carlsbad Unified School District facilities has changed since 1988 approval of the Zone 24 plan. For example, the City's General Plan now reflects the 1989 School Location Plan. In addition, the District has stated that school facilities are at capacity and that no new development can be accommodated prior to mitigation. The real concern is that the amended LFMP is going to contain outdated CUSD information which is no longer applicable. Since there is an LFMP amendment application being processed, it seems appropriate to address the school facility section including financing at this point in the process.

The City Council has indicated that certain aspects of the school district's proposal are inconsistent with the Growth Management Plan, and the Council directed staff to apply the following condition: "The developer or property owner shall obtain a letter from the Carlsbad Unified School District indicating sufficient school capacity is available to serve the proposed development prior to the approval of any final map, grading permit or building permit, whichever first occurs. This may require the developer or property owner to enter into a mitigation agreement or to form or participate in a community facilities district pursuant to the Mello- Roos Community Facilities District Act of 1982, as amended, to finance schools. Any such mitigation agreement or Mello-Roos Community Facilities District or any other financing scheme shall conform to the City's approved growth management financing system, including City Council Policy Statement No. 38, and including all planning and implementation policies and standards." This new condition will be recommended by staff to be applied to the Zone 24 Local Facilities Management Plan amendment. The above wording has been transmitted to the applicant. The City Council and the school district are continuing to meet to discuss this issue, and if there is additional information resulting from those discussion, it will be provided to the Commission as soon as it is available. STAFF REPORT DATE: OCTOBER 20, 1993 TO: PLANNING COMMISSION FROM: PLANNING DEPARTMENT SUBJECT: LFMP 87-24CA) - ZONE 24 LOCAL FACILITIES MANAGEMENT PLAN - Request for approval of an amendment to the Zone 24 Local Facilities Management Plan to include a financing plan and changes to reflect current status of certain facilities. I. RECOMMENDATION That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution No. 3560, recommending APPROVAL of the amendment to the Zone 24 Local Facilities Management Plan based on the findings contained therein. H- PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND The Zone 24 Local Facilities Management Plan (LFMP) was originally adopted on December 20,1988. The plan included a condition requiring approval of a financing plan prior to approval of any final map, building permit or grading permit within the zone. The purpose of this amendment request is twofold: (1) to provide a financing plan pursuant to that condition; and, (2) to amend the wording of the Parks, Circulation, Sewer, and Water sections of the plan to reflect changed circumstances since 1988. Since the Zone 24 LFMP was originally adopted, a number of events have occurred which affect the amount of development and demand for public facilities in the zone. The key events were: 1. Approval of the Eagle Canyon subdivision (CT 91 -02) and amendment of the LFMP to allow an additional 29 dwelling units in Zone 24. 2. Approval of the Evans Point subdivision (CT 91-03) providing for 67 fewer dwelling units than previously projected for this site in the 1988 LFMP. 3. Lower development projections and later phasing for virtually all properties in the City as a result of economic conditions, which affect the demand for, and financing of public facilities. In addition, the status of certain facilities has changed either through the adoption of new facility master plans or through new financing arrangements. These changes are described in the Introduction section of the attached LFMP amendment and Financing Plan (Exhibit "A"). The LFMP amendment recommends new conditions of approval where there has been a significant modification of facility requirements, primarily hi Parks, Circulation, Sewer, and Water. LFMP 87-24CA) - ZONE 2^LOCAL FACILITIES MANAGEMENT^LAN OCTOBER 20, 1993 ™ W PAGE 2 ^ IB- ANALYSIS Planning Issues 1. Does the proposed Zone 24 Local Facilities Management Plan amendment satisfy all requirements of the Growth Management Ordinance (Chapter 21.90 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code)? DISCUSSION The proposed amendment to the Zone 24 Local Facilities Management Plan has been prepared in accordance with Chapter 21.90 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. The original Zone 24 LFMP contained a condition which required a Financing Plan be approved prior to approval of any final map, building permit or grading permit within Zone 24. This condition was required to ensure provision of all facilities needed to serve development in Zone 24. The financing plan portion of this amendment is being processed in compliance with that condition. Further, the additional modifications proposed as part of this amendment are to address certain changes in circumstances which affect the supply of, demand for, and financing of public facilities. These changes affect Parks, Circulation, Sewer, and Water facilities. The changes to these four facilities are summarized below. A more detailed discussion of the changes is provided in the pertinent sections of Exhibit A. Parks. When the original Zone 24 LFMP was adopted in 1988, development projections at that time suggested that parks in the Northwest Quadrant would become inadequate by 1990 due to the significant increase in population. Therefore, the LFMP required certain mitigation measures to be taken to provide additional park facilities on an accelerated schedule. However, the increased demand for park facilities has not occurred due to lack of development and the change in number of persons per dwelling unit. As a .result, park facilities in the Northwest Quadrant have not fallen below the Growth Management standard, and the previously required mitigation measures are no longer appropriate in view of the reduced development projections for the quadrant. Staff is recommending that the original park conditions be deleted and replaced with a new condition requiring payment of Park In-Lieu and Public Facilities Fees. Circulation. A significant change is recommended in the Zone 24 requirement relating to Cannon Road. In 1988, an assessment district was being formed to finance Cannon Road, and the LFMP included a condition requiring Zone 24 to provide a finance guarantee for Cannon Road from 1-5 to El Camino Real. Subsequently, the assessment district effort was dropped by the property owners. In re-examining the circulation needs in this portion of the City, staff noted that Cannon Road is not located either within or adjacent to Zone 24, and the zone does not require Cannon Road for access or to maintain an acceptable level of service on other roads. In view of this, and in the absence of an assessment district, it would not be appropriate to require Zone 24 to provide a full financial guarantee for the road. Therefore, this LFMP amendment contains a new condition requiring Zone 24 to provide a proportional share of the cost of the road through payment of a Zone Fee. The LFMP 87-24CA) - ZONE J^OCAL FACILITIES MANAGEME1SMLAN OCTOBER 20, 1993 W W PAGES precise amount of the fee will be calculated prior to approval of any final map in Zone 24. Sewer. The Cannon Road assessment district was also intended to finance construction of the South Agua Hedionda Interceptor (SAHI). The original LFMP included a condition requiring that SAHI be "in place and operational to serve new development within Zone 24". In the absence of the assessment district, this condition is no longer feasible. Zone 24 will ultimately be required to connect to and utilize SAHI; however, prior to construction of SAHI, it is acceptable for Zone 24 to connect to and utilize the North Agua Hedionda Interceptor (NAHI) on an interim basis, provided there is adequate capacity available at the time of development. This amendment changes the wording of the sewer conditions of approval to reflect the new circumstances. Zone 24 will also provide its fair share contribution to the ultimate financing of SAHI as determined by the Carlsbad Municipal Water District. Water. The 1990 Water Master Plan has deleted the Evan's Point reservoir and associated water lines because the Carlsbad Municipal Water District has determined that these facilities are unnecessary. Therefore, this LFMP amendment deletes the condition contained in the 1988 Zone 24 LFMP requiring guaranteed financing for the Evan's Point reservoir and associated transmission lines. All other potable water and reclaimed water facilities required to serve Zone 24 will be constructed or appropriate fees paid at the time of development. All of the above changes are in accordance with Chapter 21.90 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. All other conditions of approval as contained in the original 1988 LFMP remain in full force and effect. For the Commission's information, the following is a brief update on the status of the other facilities that are not affected by the amendment: City Administrative Facilities and Library. Community Facilities District (CFD) No. 1 was formed in 1991 to finance a number of facilities of Citywide benefit. All properties in Zone 24 are already participating in CFD No.l. A combination of CFD No. 1 and payment of Public Facilities Fee (PFF) constitutes the required financial guarantee for City Administrative Facilities and Library. Wastewater Treatment Capacity. The Phase IV expansion of the Encinas Water Pollution Control Facility has been completed. Therefore, the special conditions stated in the 1988 LFMP are now satisfied. Drainage. All development within Zone 24 will be required to construct drainage facilities or pay any drainage area fee established by the revised Drainage Master Plan. Open Space. The proposed open space within Zone 24 has been designed in compliance with the latest adopted standards. Schools. Pursuant to state law, Zone 24 will pay required school fees in effect at the time of development. LFMP 87-24(A) - ZONE ^LOCAL FACILITIES MANAGEMENMLAN OCTOBER 20, 1993 ™ PAGE 4 IV.
