Where possible, energy-saving techniques will be included in the
architectural design and the landscaping. Also, solar heating and
insulation meeting State standards will be used.
If residential, include the number of units, schedule of unit sizes,
range of sale prices or rents, and type of household size expected.
A total of 71 single family detached units are planned. Families, child-
less couples, retired couples, semi-retired couples and single indiv-
iduals are e•xpected to live here. Home prices would probably ..range
from roughly $85,000 to $125,000, depending on square footage.

effects, indicate your reasons below:
The propo-sed development is in full conformance with the City's
General Plan, Zoning Ordinance, and Planned Development Ordinance.
The pro-posed residential use is fully compatible with existing and
proposed developments in the vicinity of the site.. A biological
survey report previously prepared on. this site determined that the
loss of the pond aquatic habitat plus scattered individuals of Cal-
ifornia adolphia is considered to be an adverse but non-significant
effect of the project (see Appendix A). Noise and dust will be
generated during the earthwork and construction phases, but this
effect will be temporary. Landform impacts will be largely beneficial
in that a large, highly visible stockpile of earth will be distributed
over the site during grading operations.

III. COMMENTS TO QUESTIONS IN SECTION 1
12) Scattered individuals of California adoiphia exist on
both sides of the drainage area. This plant species currently
carries no federal or state agency status but is designated by
the California Native Plant Society (CNPS) as rare in
California, and common elsewhere (elsewhere normally means Baja
California). The :loss of this disjunct population within the
project site is considered adverse but not significant (See
previously prepared Biological Survey Report contained in
Appendix A).
24 and 25) During the construction period, noise and dust
will be generated from the use of earthmoving and other
equipment. Incidental noise will also occur throughout the
building and construction phase, but only during the hours
designated by the City. These effects will be temporary,
lasting only for the duration of the earthwork and construction
phases.
29) A large (roughly 60,000 cy) stockpile of earth was
placed on the property during the construction of Alga Road and
Melrose Avenue in 1981-83. This earthen mound will be removed
and distributed over the site during the earthwork phases of the
project. The net effect will be largely beneficial in that the
resulting landforrn will conform more closely to the natural
topography of the area. The steep hill immediately west of the
development area has been excluded from the project. and will
remain in its existing state.

BIOLOGICAL -RECONNAISSANCE OF
MEADOWS CREST
INTRODUCTION
A biological survey of a portion of the Meadows Crest
project area in La Costa, Carlsbad was made to determine the
existing flora, fauna, and habitat types. This report
describes the general distribution and component plants of
the vegetative associations and discusses wildlife habitat
resources and their use. Particular attention during the
survey was given to determining the presence or absence of
significant biological features on oradjacent to the pro-
perty. Significant biological features are herein considered
floral or faunal-species of rare and/or endangered status,
depleted or declining faunal species, and' species and habitat
types of unique or limited distribution.
GEOGRAPHICAL LIMITS OF THE STUDY AREA
The project area, totaling ±15 acres is situated in the
eastern portion of the City of Carlsbad, County of San Diego.
The future alignment of Melrose Avenue will form the eastern
boundary of the property, which lies on the border between
Carlsbad and unincorporated San Diego County. The northern
property line will be defined by the future extension of
Alga Road to intersect with Melrose Avenue.
SURVEY ACTIVITIES AND DATES OF FIELDWORK
A field survey of the study' area was conducted on 4
June, 1981 by WESTEC biologist Kathleen E. Mooers. Field-
work, consisting of onsite review of biological resources,
was conducted on foot throughout the entire project area.
The survey took place in the morning under clear skies and
warm temperatures. Faunal observations were made with the
use of 10 x 50 binoculars. Extensive vegetative transect
sampling and small mammal trapping were not undertaken for
this reconnaissance survey.
TA?.JTh T1P '
The project site is currently undeveloped open space which
E
has been previously used for agricultural or grazing purposes.
A southeasterly drainage, which 'courses through. the property,
has been dammed to form a catch basin. Property to the north
is under development; the 'area to the south is the planned
residential development known as Hidden Meadows. Property to
the west remains natural and that to the east is occupied by a
church and private residences.
SOIL TYPES
Soil types on the property include ATC (Altamont clay), EXE
(Exchequer rocky silt loam), and HrC (Heuheuro loam) LU.S.Dept.
Agriculture, 1973).
FLORA.
Two floral communities are present on the property: Dis-
turbed Grassland and Pond -Aquatic (Thorne, 1976). The makeup
and onsite distribution of these communities is discussed below.
Floral nomenclature throughout the report follows Muñz (1974);
common names for, the most part follow Higgins (1949).
The disturbed grassland onsite is made up of ruderal,
adventitious species such as wild oats '('Avena sp.), foxtail
chess "(BromuS 'rubens), rye '(Elymus sp.), 'and goldentop '(Lamar-
ckia aurea). A few isolated chaparral species are present,
particularly on the steeper western portion of the site. These
include sugar bush '('Rh'us ovata), white sage '('S'a'l'via apia'na),
laurel sumac '('Rhus 'Iau.r'ina), elderberry "(S'anthuc'us' mexicana),
and California adôlphi'a '('Adô'l'p'hia 'c'a'li'f'orn'i'ca).
The pond aquatic vegetative community present onsite con-
sists of a variety of' aquatic plants such as spike rush
(Eleochar'is sp.), cat-tail '(Typha sp..),.bu1rush '('Sc'i'rpus sp.),
rush (Juncus sp.), curly dock '(Rumex 'cri'spus), and smartweed
(Polygonum sp.). Many weedy, species are also present due to
the disturbed 'nature of the 'sorrounding area. Black mustard
(Brassi'ca flig'ra) is quite common, as well, as sweet fennel
(Fo'eni'cu'l'um vulg'are) and castor bean '(Ri'c'in'us''c'omrnün'is).
A total of 37 plant species were recorded during the field
survey. Of these, 17 (46 percent) are nonnative, introduced
~J)
species. A plant species list is provided as Attachment A.
FAUNA -
Because of the disturbed character of the site and the lack
of cover, wildlife is expected to be limited compared to nearby
natural areas. The catch basin onsite, ahabitat,nörmally
attractive to wildlife for water, will lose much of its appeal
as the adjacent property is developed.
An exhaustive species of "expected" fauna was not developed
for the site, those species observed or deemed of interest are
discussed in the report. Small mammal trapping was not con-
ducted. Wildlife observations were made with the aid of 10 x '50
binoculars. Faunal nomenclature within the report follows that
of American Ornithologists' Union (AOU, 1957, as revised) for
birds, Jones et al. (1975) for mammals, and Stebbins (1966) for
reptiles and amphibians.
The most noticeable faunal element onsite was the avifauna.
Species observed are: western meadowlark (Sturnella neglect,3),
common raven (Corvus corax, 1), bushtit (Psaltriparus minimus,2),
Anna's hummingbird (Calypte anna, 1), brown towhee (Pipilo fuscus,
1), red-winged-blackbird (Agelaius phoeniceus, common), and
Bewick's wren (Thryomanes bewickii, 1). Two desert cottontails
(Sylvilagus audulionii) were the only mammals observed. There
were no reptiles or amphibians observed during the survey, though
several species are expected to use.the basin onsite.
HIGH INTEREST SPECIES/HABITATS
Plant and animal species and habitat types are considered
of high interest if they are:
Rare, endangered, or threatened
Of depleted or declining status, limited distribution
Endemic or of unique distribution
Rare, Endangered, or Threatened
No plant or animal species listed or proposed for listing as
rare, endangered, or threatened by the U S Fish and Wildlife
Service (USFWS, 1980) or the California Department of Fish and
., . Game (CDFG, 1978;.1979) was observed onsite. No species listed
by the California Native Plant Society (CNPS, 1980) as rare and
endangered or rare but not endangered was observed onsite.
One plant species observed onsite is listed by the CNPS
(1980) as rare in California but common elsewhere. For plants
in this category from the San Diego area, elsewhere usually
means Baja California. California adolphia (Adolph'ia californica),
a spinescent low scrub, is found as scattered clumps and indi-
viduals in the northwestern portion of the drainage onsite. An
estimated total of 35 plants occur onsite. This species is rela-
tively common in the La Costa area.
A number of high interest plant species have been recorded
for the general area. These were all considered during the field
survey although some are less likely to occur onsite as they are
normally found closer to the coast, within a different habitat
type than is present', or within a different soil type. High
interest plant species which may be expected but were not ob-
served are listed in Table 1. A few of the species listed are
either annuals or herbaceôus perennials. Of these, Brodiaea
filifolia and Acanthomintha ilicifolia are singled out because of
their scarcity. Both species prosper in heavy clay soil which is,
found in areas of the site. Acanthomintha ilicifolia had been
previously reported just east of the eastern terminus of La Costa
Avenue. Due to the disturbed nature of the entire site, the prob-
ability of finding either of these species was considered low.
Depleted, Declining Status,' Limited Distributions
A depleted or declining 'faunal species is one that, although
still occurring in adequate numbers for survival, has been heavily
depleted and continues at a rate which gives cause for concern
(Bury, 1971). Such species are declining because of heavy com-
mercial exploitation and continuing destruction to their habitats.
Two reptile species considered to be declining locally are the
coast horned lizard (Phrynosoma coronatüm blainvillei) and the
orange-throated whiptail (Cnemidophorus hyperythrus b'eldingi).
The San Diego Herpetological Society (1980) considers
t
h
e
c
o
a
s
t
horned lizard to be endangered and the orange-throate
d

i

d
o
n
s
i
t
e
and neither species is expected, to be found because of
t
h
e
l
a
c
k
of general habitat requirements for the species.
An additional declining reptile species which is expect

in the general area is the two-striped garter snake (Thai

is also considered an adverse effect of project development.
Aquatic, riparian, and freshwater marsh h'abi'tats.combined
totalled less than two percent of county acreage in 1963
(CDFG, 1965). The catch basin, habitat, attractive to wild-
-
life for water and forage, is valuable resource which is
rare in the dry San Diego region. The disturbed grassland
for the most part does not support natural vegetation and
undoubtedly supports a limited resident wildlife population i.
It is probably used from time to time, however, by raptors
for forage from the nearby woodland associated with 'San
Marcos Creek to the south. The disturbed nature of the
property itself, the construction taking place to the 'north,'
and the planned development of the surrounding property to
the south and east reduce the impact of project development.

APPENDIX B
Detailed Archaeology Survey
(NOTE: This survey was prepared in
1981 on a project known as
Hidden Meadows North; the
project-area remains- the
same, but the name of the.
project is now Meadowcrest )
. O
. EXISTING CONDITIONS
On June 4, 1981, WESTEC Services, Inc. conducted an archaeological survey of
the proposed 15-acre Hidden Meadows North. development. The project area was tra-
versed on-foot using standard archaeological procedures.
Visual inspection of the project site revealed no cultural resources,, either prehis-
toric or historic Any cultural debris located within the study area appears to be
associated with the abandoned dwelling immediately, south of the project site (circa
1930-1960). A review of previously recorded sites within the study region, as recorded
with local archaeological clearing houses at the Museum of Man and San Diego State
University, was also negative. . .
.
.
It should be noted that even though visual inspection of .the project site was as
thorough as possible; dense grass cover hindered visibility. fl
IMPACTS • . . . .
Lack of cultural resources within the proposed Hidden Meadows North develop-,
ment area precludes possibility of adverse impacts by such a development.
MITIGATION. S •. . . '
Because no cultural resources were located within the proposed project area, no
archaeological mitigation measures are proposed or required

22. Mandatory Findings of Significance
a. Does the project have the potential
to degrade the quality of the
' environment, or curtail the diversity.
in the environment? •'
b. 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.)
C. Does the project have impacts which
are individually limited, but
cumulatively' considerable? (A
project may impact on two or more
separate resources where the impact
on each resource is relatively small,
but where the effect of the total of
those impacts on the environment is
signi'ficant.)
d. Does the project have environmental
effects which will cause substantial
adverse'effects on'human beings,.
either directly; or, indirectly?,

Iv. DETERMINATION (To Be Completed-by the Land Use Planning Office)
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
__I find the proposedproject COULD NOT have a significant effect on
\the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be 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. - S
I find the proposed project MAY have asig'nificant effect on the
environment,-and an;ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
