Summary of Recommended Mitigation Measures
c

t
Implementation of the following recommended mitigation measures will reduce any potential
environmental effects associated with the Newton Drive Industrial Facility to a level of
insignificance. These mitigation measures are discussed in greater detail in the following materials
and in other materials attached to this application.

6.
Geological Hazards. The project shall conform with the recommendations of the
engineering geologist with special attention to slope stability, and the potential for perched
groundwater. [There are no particular geological hazards associated with the project and this
is a routine recommendation].
Water Quality. The contractor shall adhere to the requirements of the NPDES permit during
construction of the facility. [This is also a routine requirement placed on all new
construction].
Biological Resources. The applicant, prior to the issuance of any grading permit, shall obtain
from the City of Carlsbad a section 4(d)-permit. This permit shall include 0.78-acres of
Coastal Sage Scrub offered for mitigation. This requirement has been reviewed with the
Department of Fish and Game and the Fish and Wildlife Service and they concur. No
additional mitigation for biological resources is required. The loss of Coastal Sage Scrub
habitat is, in this case, considered de minimus.
Light and Glare. All lighting visible from adjacent residential areas shall be shielded
(and/or set back and directed away) so as to prevent spillover into those residential areas.
Paleontological Resources. A paleontological monitor acceptable to the City of Carlsbad
shall be retained during the grading of the project site.
Fugitive Dust. Because of the proximity of a greenhouse operation to the north and because
of the resident development to the east, an extra-effort to control fugitive dust during grading
is appropriate. Excess watering during the normal workday along with weekend water as
required by weather conditions (wind and humidity) is recommended. Watering shall be
maintained through the grading period and until the site surface is stabilized.

c
f-
r
The approximately 16-acre Newton Drive Industrial Facility site is located in the City of Carlsbad,
adjacent to and north of the Carlsbad Research Center industrial complex and Palomar Airport (see
Figure 1). The site lies northeast of the terminus of Newton Drive, which is north of Faraday Avenue
and south of Bryant Drive (see Figure 1). It is Assessor’s Parcel Numbers: 212-050-41, and -43; and
is found on the San Luis Rey 7%-Minute U.S.G.S Quadrangle Map (see Figure 2), in an un-sectioned
area within Township 11 South, Range 4 West (SBBM). Elevations on site range from
approximately 195 feet at the extreme northeastern corner of the site, to approximately 299 feet at
the north-central portion of the site. The site is a flat-lying mesa and the adjacent slopes to the
northeast (see Figure 3). The mesa portion of the site ranges in elevation from 260 to 280 feet on
average.
The proposed Newton Drive Industrial Facility would entail construction of an approximately
165,298 square foot industrial building over approximately 1 1-acres of an irregularly shaped
approximately 16 acre parcel of land (see Figure 3). Not all portions of the property would be
disturbed by project development. The northeastern slopes would remain in their present condition.
Approximately 5-acres of land located at the northeastern slopes of the site (including an existing
BrodiaeaJiZifoEia preserve) are intended for dedication to the City of Carlsbad as an Open Space
Easement (see Figure 3).
The Newton Drive Industrial Facility, if constructed as proposed, would be configured to serve two
or three tenants with square footage divided according to tenant use as follows: office space -
approximately 20%; light manufacturing - approximately 40%, warehouse space - approximately
40%. The building would feature: an approximately 5,000 square foot dining area, and
approximately 403 employee parking spaces (placed around the north, east and west boundaries of
the centrally located building (see Figure 3). Approximately 1 10,000 square feet of site landscaping
is proposed for the project, which would surround the parking areas and visually buffer the slope
banks placed at the periphery of the graded part of the site. A planned Industrial Permit addressing
details of the above proposals has been submitted concurrent with this EIA (PIP 97-34).
The project falls within the City of Carlsbad “PM’ (Planned Industrial) Zone, which allows for:
“the location of business and light industries engaged primarily in research and/or
testing, compatible light manufacturing, business and professional offices when
engaged in activities associated with corporate offices or in activities whose primary
purpose is to cater directly to the general public, and certain commercial uses which
cater to and are ancillary to the uses allowed in this zone ...”
The reader is referred to Air Quality section below for a more detailed addressment of the property’s
permitted uses.
The Newton Drive Industrial Site is located west of, and is largely surrounded by the Carlsbad

Research Center (CRC) - a complex of industrial buildings forming an employment center within
the City of Carlsbad. Lots within this neighboring complex are sold and/or nearly built out
Construction activity within the CRC is high and a number of buildings are under construction or
are recently completed adjacent to or in the immediate vicinity of the proposed Newton Drive
Industrial Facility.
Immediately north of, and elevationally below the subject site, is a residential mobile home park.
Single-family residential development is active across Halley Drive, to the west, and elevationally
below the subject property (see figure 4). Other undeveloped parcels in the immediately area are
agricultural in nature and are zoned for eventual construction of residential properties.

c
The following attachment is modeled after the checklist format found on the Environmental Impact
Assessment Form presented on the immediately preceding pages. The discussion below explains the
significance determinations made on each environmental issues. Where appropriate, the discussion
includes specific mitigation measures -which are summarized in the introduction to this document.
I. LAND USE AND PLANNING
a). The Newton Drive Industrial Facility proposal entails the development of an
approximately 16.1 1 acre parcel of industrially zoned lands within the City of Carlsbad,
California. The City has indicated that the project is in conformance with both the Carlsbad
General Plan and the local Zoning Ordinance (Elaine Blackburn, City of Carlsbad, 1997),
and is zoned “P-M” Planned Industrial.
b) The property is approximately three miles east of the Pacific Ocean in the City of Carlsbad
and falls just within the eastern-most boundary of the “Coastal Zone.” The City of Carlsbad
has adopted a Local Coastal Plan or “LCP.” The proposed project conforms with Carlsbad
LCP in its in terms of land use and design features, and will be subject to seasonal grading
controls (Elaine Blackburn, City of Carlsbad, 1997).
The Newton Drive Industrial Facility is outside of the Carlsbad Habitat Management Plan
(HMP; Don Rideout, City of Carlsbad, 1997), and is therefore not encumbered by
development restrictions relating to that Plan. The reader is directed to the Biological
Resource Report accompanying this submittal for additional information on the resources
present and their mitigation. The proposed mitigation program has been reviewed and
approved by both the California Department of Fish and Game and the United States Fish
and Wildlife Service.
c) The proposed Newton Drive Industrial Facility would entail the development of an
approximately 165,000 square foot industrial building and associated automobile parking and
truck-docking facilities over an approximately 1 1 -acres of a 16.1 1 -acre parcel of vacant land.
The area surrounding the site is quickly developing to various industrial and residential land
uses. A residential mobile home park lies north of the project site; approximately 275 feet
away at its point of closest approach. Single-family residential development west of Halley
Drive is also visible from the project site. Neither of these, or the nearby agricultural
(greenhouse operations) will be displaced by the proposed development nor will the
development constitute an incompatible land use . Instead, the proposed project represents
a continuation of the trend of development already ongoing in the immediate neighborhood.
Other industrial facilities of comparable (and in certain cases larger) scale are completed or
are under construction to the immediate west and south.
Page 10
Additionally, the residential mobile home park will be buffered from the proposed project
by the comprehensive landscaping of the intervening slope bank (see Figure 5). Minimum
elevational differences of approximately 70-feet will exist between the finish-grade of
Newton Drive Industrial Facility and the nearest point of the mobile home park. The
industrial facility will be significantly higher in elevation than the residential subdivision to
the east.
Additionally, approximately five acres of slopes along the northern side of the Industrial
Facility (and above the adjacent residential community) will be retained as natural open
space. The reader is directed to both the Biological Resources section below (for a discussion
of the proposed dedication of open space lands in favor of the City of Carlsbad) and the
Aesthetics section (for a discussion and graphical representation of pad-separation and visual
impacts).
f
c
r
d) Construction of the proposed Newton Drive Industrial Facility would not affect
agricultural resources or farmlands or result in impacts from incompatible land uses. There
are no agricultural land uses on the now vacant and undeveloped project site. Nearby
growing operations would not be altered or impeded in any way as a result of project
implementation. The only possible physical affect to the nearby greenhouse operation (to
the west) from project implementation would be fugitive dust generation during site grading.
However, this effect can be mitigated during construction and is anticipated to be
insignificant.
e) Construction of the proposed facility would not result in the disruption or division of the
community’s physical arrangement. There are no existing site improvements on the subject
parcel, and the surrounding area is developing according to the Land Use Element of the
Carlsbad General Plan.
11. POPULATION AND HOUSING
a) Designs for the proposed Newton Drive Industrial Facility (see Figure 3 and other
submitted materials) includes approximately 400 parking spaces. This number is consistent
with the City’s parking standards and slightly exceeds the anticipated number of employees.
As such, this project can be considered relatively small in the context of the nearby Carlsbad
Research Center. Significant stocks of residential housing exist and are currently being
constructed in the nearby vicinity and should be adequate to meet the needs of future
employees.
b) Construction of the project, as proposed, would not directly or indirectly induce
substantial growth in the area. The site of the Industrial Facility is essentially a remainder
lot at the edge of the Carlsbad Research Center. The infiastructure of the CRC has been
designed to accommodate development of adjacent parcels such as this.

r
c) Construction of the project, would not displace existing housing. Instead, the project site
is an undeveloped vacant parcel of land. Significant beers of land and landscaping between
the project site and residential projects in the area (mobile home park to the north and
residential subdivision to the west) currently exist and will be further enhanced through
project implementation.
111. GEOLOGIC PROBLEMS
a) The site is not located on or near any mapped active faults.
b) The site is underlain by the Santiago Formation, a well indurated, Eocene-aged
formational unit composed of sandstones and siltstones. Relative ground movement on this
formational unit is not anticipated to be greater than on any of the other surrounding areas,
and will be less than less indurated materials, such as along Agua Hedionda Creek.
c) No shallow ground water was noted beneath the site during geological testing (see
GeoSoils, Inc., report filed with this application). Liquefaction is considered to be a remote
consideration on this site.
e) The GeoSoils, Inc. reconnaissance located no sign of slope failures or landslides on the
subject property. The underlying Santiago Formation is bedded and the plane of bedding is
slightly to the south; this results in “in-slope bedding,” a condition conducive to slope
stability, not failure. Future review of slope designs is recommended, however, by the
GeoSoils, Inc. report.
f) Grading of the site will be controlled by the City of Carlsbad Local Coastal Plan (LCP)
which limits site grading to the “non-rainy” season from April 1 to October 1. Site grading
is prohibited outside this time frame absent a permit to conduct said grading obtained
directly from the California Coastal Commission (Lynch, 1997). Grading during the rainy
season requires special physical controls of sediment and erosion.
g) Aside the shrink-swell potential of siltstone lenses within the underlying Santiago
Formation, no subsidence of the site is anticipated.
h) The siltstone lenses within the underlying Santiago Formation have a shrink-swell
potential and will have to be treated accordingly during excavation and grading of the project
site.
i) No unique geological features are located on the subject property.

Page 12
IV. WATER
c
c
r
IL-
c
a) Existing rates of surface runoff (Q) would be augmented by the increase in impervious
surfaces created by parking facilities and the proposed concrete tilt-up structure. However,
the storm drain system in Newton Drive reaches the southwestern boundary of the subject
property and will be sufficient to control any drainage during project construction. The
completed project would be served by the proposed extension of that storm drain into the
Newton Drive Industrial Facility. It would be fed by drainage inlets placed periodically
throughout the industrial site grounds. During construction of the proposed industrial facility
standard short term runoff control methods would be used (to include: sandbagging, slope
compaction, direction of drainage away from slopes, rapid landscaping and others
techniques).
b) No portions of the site are within the mapped flood area for the community (FEMA).
Construction of the project will not adversely affect area water related hazards such as
flooding.
c) Agua Hedionda Lagoon is the nearest water body, lying approximately 2%-miles to the
west. Drainage from the site will ultimately enter a storm drain that discharges into natural
drainages that lead to the lagoon. However, water runoff from the proposed facility would
be insignificant in volume, as compared with the total from the surrounding complex of
industrial facilities. In addition, the developer will have to conform with NPDES permit
requirements during construction.
d). No lakes or ponds are located adjacent to or in the immediate vicinity of the project site.
e) There are no wetlands or drainages associated with the subject property, the property is
located essentially at the “headwaters” of the local drainage system.
f). As presently proposed, the Newton Drive Industrial Facility would not directly affect any
known ground water resources. The underlying Santiago Formation contains siltstone lenses
that effectively preclude infiltration to the ground waster table.
g). No alteration of ground waters is anticipated, with the possible exception of the addition
of ground water on a highly localized basis due to the irrigation of landscaped slope-banks
around the east and northeast perimeter of the central portion of the site. Site analysis
performed by GeoSoils, Inc. indicate that the depth to groundwater is approximately 100’
below site grade. “Perched groundwater, where relatively impermeable fill underlies
permeable fill or sediments filled with water, may be encountered at shallower depths
(especially during rainy season).” (GeoSoils, Inc., 1997).
h). There is a rough proportionality between the total amount of non-point source urban
pollutants generated and the total area of cleared and developed land. Thus, the impact
Page 13
i
r

c
r
anticipated from construction of the proposed industrial building (including parking) would
be comparable to that of a comparably sized residential or industrial project, such as those
surrounding the Newton Drive Industrial Facilities site. Additionally, the load of dissolved
organics attributable to the landscaping treatments (planned for the planned fill banks
surrounding the building pad) would not be significantly different from the total load of
dissolved organics presently generated from the ruderal site (e.g. humic acids and whole
plant tissues from the existing remaining vegetation). The proposed project’s effect on local
water quality is anticipated to be minimal given the significant levels of surrounding
industrial land uses. Despite the insignificant nature of the anticipated impacts from the
proposed project, it should be noted that the project applicant will be required to comply with
all non-point source pollutant control requirements (NPDES) and to obtain a grading permit
from the City of Carlsbad, which will include safety measures directed toward controlling
pollution discharge elimination.
i). The project has no significant recharge potential for the regional ground water supply nor
will it utilize ground water.
V. AIR QUALITY
a. The proposed project would not have a significant negative impact on ambient air quality.
The proposed industrial facility’s two contributions to air pollution would be from auto
emissions and light industrial business operations. Auto emissions would likely be the more
significant of the two. Using SANDAG trip generation rates for Light Manufacturing
facilities (4 tripdl ,000 square feet), it is estimated that approximately 66 1 Average Daily
Trips (ADT) will result from project construction (SANDAG, 1996). Auto emissions from
such a relatively small number of trips would have no significant air quality impact.
However, as determined in the City’s Final Master EIR, there will be a cumulative effect (see
following discussion).
Operation-related emissions are considered cumulatively significant because the project is
located within a “non-attainment basin”, therefore, the “Initial Study’’ checklist is marked
“Potentially Significant Impact”. This project is consistent with the General Plan, therefore,
the preparation of an EIR is not required because the certification of Final Master EIR 93-01,
by City Council Resolution No. 94-246, included a Statement of Overriding Considerations
for air quality impacts. This “Statement of Overriding Considerations’’ for air quality impacts
applies to all subsequent projects covered by the General Plan’s Final Master EIR, including
this project, therefore, no further environmental review of air quality impacts is required.
This document is available at the Planning Department.
Emissions from light industrial operations will depend to some extent on the exact nature of
building tenancy but will be limited to the following permitted uses (as per the Carlsbad PM
(Planned Industrial) Zone regulations:
r Page 14
c
c
c

c.
c
c
“Sec.21.34.020) The following uses are permitted in the P-M zone without the
granting of a conditional use permit: (1) Research and testing facilities; (2)
Manufacturing and processing facilities; (3) Storage, wholesale and distribution
facilities; (4) Administrative offices associated with and accessory to a permitted
use.; (5)On-site recreational facilities intended for the use of employees of the
planned industrial zone; (6) Business and professional offices which are not retail in
nature, do not cater to the general public, and do not generate walk-in or drive-in
traffic, and are incidental to the industrial uses in the vicinity. . .”
Other uses are permitted and the reader is referred to the City of Carlsbad Zoning Ordinance
for additional information. As indicated above, a variety of industrial uses is permitted within
the zone, as long as City of Carlsbad emission standards (as described below) are met.
Further regulation applying to potential tenants of the building are indicated by the PM
(Planned Industrial) zoning regulations:
“(Sec.21.34.090)(5)) All uses shall meet the air quality standards for the San Diego
County Air Quality Control Board (AQCB) [sic]. In addition, all uses shall be
operated so as not to emit particulate matter or air contaminants which are readily
detectable without instruments by the average person while on the lot containing
such uses.”
Finally, the size and configuration of the proposed building serves to define the nature of
potential impacts to ambient air quality. The Newton Drive Industrial Facility would total
approximately 165,298 square feet and would be configured to serve either two or three
tenants with the following space allotments: 20% for office space; 40% for light
manufacturing; and 40% for warehouse uses (Wetzel, 1997). Warehouse and office space
uses are not significant generators of air emissions (aside fiom the above referenced auto
emissions), and emissions from the estimated 66,120 sf. of light manufacturing space is
believed to be insignificant when compared with the very large supply of industrial space
already in existence in the immediate area.
It should be noted that during construction of the proposed project, there is some small
potential for a temporary reduction in ambient air quality (due to fugitive dust generation)
during and immediately following site grading. The “excessive” use of standard site-watering
operations during grading will mitigate, to a level of insignificance, any potential for fugitive
dust impacts, especially to the greenhouse-growing operation to the near west. If this
greenhouse operation is active with dust sensitive crop growing at the time of grading the
project proponent shall minimize fugitive dust emissions by conducting extra watering
operations, with “weekend” watering required during times of adverse weather conditions
(e.g. low humidity and moderate to high winds).
c). Only very large scale industrial and multi-story commercial buildings are generally
associated with significant alteration of air movement, moisture, temperature, or local or
r-
1 i
Page I5
regional climatic changes. No such changes are anticipated with construction of the proposed
two or three tenant industrial building.
d). Construction of the proposed Newton Drive Industrial Facility will not have the potential
to create objectionable odors. As described above the proposed facility is intended to serve
as office space, and light manufacturing and warehouse space and these industrial uses are
not usually associated with potential odor impacts. The potential for odor impacts is further
negated by tenant compliance with the following City of Carlsbad PM (Planned Industrial)
zone designation use limitations:
“(Sec.21.34.090(2)). All uses shall be operated so as not to emit matter causing
unpleasant odors which are perceptible to the average person while within or beyond
the lot containing such uses.”
VI. TRANSPORTATIONKIRCULATION r
!
c
r
c
a) Construction of the proposed Newton Drive Industrial Facility would result in a negligible
increase in the average daily automobile trips on surrounding roadways. The facility would
include approximately 165,298 square feet of industrial space attributable to
“Manufacturing/Assembly” (for purposes of vehicular traffic generation analysis). The San
Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) “Brief Guide of Vehicular Traffic
Generation Rates for the San Diego Region,” indicates a trip generation rate of “4/1,000
square feet” thus resulting in 661 Average Daily Trip. This represents a negligible addition
of vehicular trafk onto area roadways considering the extensive level of existing, adjacent
industrial development. Newton Drive, Faraday Avenue and the surrounding roadways were
specifically designed to accommodate the traffic generated by the Carlsbad Research Center
and adjacent industrial lots, such as the subject property. Therefore, traffic impacts relative
to the Newton Drive Industrial Facility have already been taken into account by the City of
Carlsbad.
b) Construction of the proposed Newton Drive Industrial Facility would not result in the
creation of any hazards to safety fiom design features. No sharp curves or dangerous
intersections, or incompatible land uses would result fiom project construction. No
inherently hazardous uses are planned for building occupancy and the proposed industrial
building will mimic, from a land use standpoint, those uses found within the general area.
The only dissimilar land uses near the project site consist of the greenhouse operation to the
near west and the residential mobile home park to the north. The Newton Drive Industrial
Facility is sufficiently setback fiom these uses as to further limit any potential for conflict.
No hazardous internal traffic circulation patterns are planned for construction. Instead the
facility features an internal circulation pattern that meets the internal roadway requirements
Page 16
c
c
c
r
I
for the PM (Planned Industrial) zone with widths ranging from 30 to 40 feet. No alteration
to the adjacent public roadway system is proposed (with the minor exception of the limited
extension of the Newton Drive cul-de-sac (see Figure 3)).
c) Construction of the proposed Newton Drive Industrial Facility would not result in the
creation of an inadequate emergency access point or an inadequate access to nearby uses.
The facility would be accessed by the existing Newton Drive (a cul-de-sac), which has a 72’
wide public right-of-way. The paved surface of the internal circulation roadway ranges from
30 to 40 feet wide, which is believed to be adequate for emergency vehicular access.
Adjacent lands would be no less accessible as a result of project development.
d) The City of Carlsbad Parking Ordinance, which mandates:
(Section 21.44.010 ( c) (1)) “Manufacturing - one space/four hundred square feet of
gross floor area plus one stall for each vehicle used in conjunction with the use. . . .
(3) Warehouse - one spacelone thousand square feet of gross floor area plus one stall
for each vehicle used in conjunction with the use . . . Professional offices - One
space/two hundred fifty square feet of gross floor area.”
The application of these parking space requirements to the anticipated use of the structure
results in a determination that a minimum of 366 parking spaces is required. The proposed
Newton Drive Industrial Facility, as designed (see Figure 3) includes approximately 403
spaces (395 standard (8% feet by 20 feet) and 8 handicapped (9feet by 20 feet)).
Additionally, the facility will parking spaces for vehicles (e.g. trucks) associated with tenant
uses. City of Carlsbad parking space requirements have been exceeded.
e) Construction of the proposed project will not result in the creation of any hazard or barrier
to pedestrian or bicycle movement. The proposed project is located off a cul-de-sac roadway
that includes sidewalks and striped traffic lanes. These features would, in no way, be
interrupted by project implementation.
g) No alteration to waterborne or air traffic is generally associated with the type of relatively
small scale development represented by the proposed Newton Drive Industrial Facility. The
proposed project site is not in conflict with any rail transport patterns.
VII. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES
a) Comprehensive survey’s for both the California Gnatcatcher and the Pacific Pocket Mouse
along with a general survey intended to identi@ populations of any other sensitive plant
species that could occur on the project site have been completed. These surveys are discussed
in detail in the attached Biological Technical Report. No endangered, threatened or sensitive
species were identified within the footprint of the proposed construction.
r
r
Page 1 7

c
An existing preserve for the Brodiaea$lifolia is found in the extreme northeastern corner of
the property (see Figure 3). In addition, a small number of individuals of Adolphia
californica were found near the existing fenced preserve. Both will be preserved in open
space by the proposed design of the Industrial Facility.
A total of 0.78-acres of Coastal Sage Scrub habitat is found within the bounds of the project
site. This occurrence has been reviewed with both the Californica Department of Fish and
Game and with the Fish and Wildlife Service. Both agencies consider the occurrence to be
de minimus. However, the loss of any Sage Scrub habitat is considered significant and
mitigation is required. In that the loss is of a “de minimus” fragment, a mitigation ratio of
1 : 1 is considered appropriate. The applicant has identified an appropriate mitigation site and
will obtain from the City a section 4(d)-permit.
Considerable additional detail is provided in the attached Biological Technical Report.
b) No “locally designated” species or individuals were found on-site.
c
i
c
c
c
c
c) A total of 0.78-acres of the “locally designated” Coastal Sage Scrub community is found
on-site, see discussion above and attached technical report.
d) Less than 100-square feet of definable wetland habitat is found on the subject property.
This “wetland” occupies a slightly deeper bulldozer cut in the former borrow site and is, at
best, an extremely marginal, artificial habitat. Due to its extremely small size (roughly 0.002
acres) it is not considered significant and no mitigation is required.
e) The subject property is part of a habitat fragment that encompasses approximately 18- 19
acres. This fragment is outside of the HMP, it has no connectivity to any other habitat
fiagment, and is itself too small to support minimum viable populations of most wildlife
species.
MII. ENERGY AND MINERAL RESOURCES
a) Construction of the proposed Newton Drive Industrial Facility would not result in the
excessive use of energy. Electrical and other energy resources would be used at the facility,
on par with other industrial facilities in the surrounding area.
b) Construction of the proposed project does not have the potential for using non-renewable
resources in a wasteful or inefficient manner. The land to be developed represents the only
non-renewable resource involved, and it is to be developed as planned by the City of
Carlsbad (Carlsbad General Plan, Land Use Element).
c) No known mineral resources of current or future value to the region or the State of
Californica are associated with the subject property.

L
c
b
c
r
r
a,c) Construction of the proposed Newton Drive Industrial Facility would not result in the
creation of a health risks or risk of accidental explosion or release of hazardous substances
in excess of those risks from surrounding industrial facilities. The proposed facility also
represents a site determined to be acceptable by the City of Carlsbad General Plan - Land
Use Element for the proposed use. At the time of General Plan approval “risk of upset”
issues were considered. Project risks are also minimized by the project’s intended light
industrial use configuration ( 20% office space; 40% warehouse space).
b) The site lies approximately one and a half miles due west of the Faraday Avenue, City of
Carlsbad fire station. This station’s emergency response capability would not be adversely
affected by the proposed project.
d) Construction of the proposed Newton Drive Industrial Facility would not expose people
to existing health hazards or potential health hazards. The project site is outside of but
immediately adjacent to the Palomar-McClellan Airport “Influence Area” - and outside of
the airport’s Crash Hazard Zone (SANDAG, Palomar-McClellan Airport Land Use Plan,
1994). The Airport Influence Area was established in regards to potential height limitations
and potential airport noise impacts - not safety. In that the site is located outside of the zone
no adverse effects are anticipated.
There are no existing health hazards on site as per the “Phase I” Site Assessment conducted
for the property by GeoSoils, Inc. (1997). No additional studies or actions were deemed
warranted from an environmental standpoint with the minor exception of the necessary
cleanup of the “subsurface pit associated with the outhouse on-site and the sewage south of
the cut slope.” This will, of course, be accomplished during site preparation.
e) Construction of the proposed Newton Drive Industrial Facility would not increase fire
hazards. implementation will reduce the amount of flammable native and non-native
vegetation in the area and replace it with irrigated landscaping, a concrete structure, and
parking lots.
X. NOISE
a) Given the anticipated uses of the proposed Industrial Facility it is unlikely that there will
be significant point source noise generators associated with the project. Given the vertical
separation between the proposed industrial use and the adjacent residential (on the order of
70-feet; see Figure 5), the fill slopes themselves will provide a considerable barrier effect to
noise.
Vehicular traffic associated with the project is low enough in number and will be moving at
Page 19
i
I- such slow speeds that it will not result in a significant line noise source.
b) See “a” above
XI. PUBLIC SERVICES
a) The City of Carlsbad Fire Department’s nearest fire station is located approximately 1.5
miles due west of the project site. At that distance, emergency response times are believed
to be excellent. No new need for Fire Department personnel or station facilities are
anticipated to result from project implementation.
b) The City of Carlsbad provides general police services for the project area. However,
within the immediate surroundings of the site, the dense nature of existing industrial
development sometimes requires private security services. It is believed that the Newton
Drive Industrial Facility will avail itself of private security services should the need arise.
No adverse impact to police department resources is anticipated.
c) The proposed Newton Drive Industrial Facility will not increase area demand for public
school facilities. Such demand increases are normally associated with residential projects not
commercial or industrial projects.
d,e) Public services in the area are believed to currently be at levels sufficient to serve the
Newton Drive Industrial Facility.
XII. UTILITIES AND SERVICES SYSTEMS
a, b) The proposed project does not call for the creation of any new power, natural gas or
communications systems or local facilities. Telephone, electrical and gas lines are already
stubbed-out in the Newton Drive cul-de-sac.
c,d) Water and sewer lines are presently in place on Newton Drive. No new services would
be required for project construction.
e) Storm drain facilities are presently in place in the Newton Drive roadway. The readers
attention is directed to the Water section of this report for additional information.
f). Solid waste disposal services are available to all properties in the area, and it is believed
the disposal services are sufficient to serve the proposed facility (within the context of the
regional problems facing all solid waste generators, commercial, residential, or industrial).
g) Local and regional water supplies are believed to be adequate to serve the proposed
Page 20
Newton Drive Industrial Facility and no new systems would be needed as a result of project
approval.

XIII. AESTHETICS
a) Construction of the proposed Newton Drive Industrial Facility will not result in any affects
to a scenic views. The subject property is far removed from any scenic highway, and,
similarly, the immediate surroundings of the property represent no real scenic viewsheds.
b) Construction of the proposed Newton Drive Industrial Facility will not result in negative
aesthetic effect. The facility, as planned, will be built to the architectural standards of the
surrounding area and will be landscaped as shown on the Landscape Plan submitted with this
application. It is anticipated that the Landscape Plan will meet the City of Carlsbad’s
standards, as per the City’s PM (Planned Industrial) Zone requirements. The project consists
of a single-story, concrete-tilt-up industrial building to be constructed to an aesthetic
standard closely matching adjacent and nearby industrial developments.
Views of the industrial facility from this mobile home park will limited by the elevational
difference between the two land uses (approximately vertical 70 feet) and the setback of the
industrial building where the primary employee parking facility is planned for construction.
Also, Landscaping treatments will be rather comprehensive in nature and will largely shield
southern-most lots in the residential mobile home park from the only prominent portion of
the industrial building - its northeastern-most comer (see figure 5). This portion of the
building will be closer to the slope-bank between the two properties but will be shielded by
a 10 foot high earthen berm as well as comprehensive landscaping.
C). The project will require the construction of new lighting - potential sources of light and
glare. However, lighting of the proposed facility will not have a significant light and glare
impact, given the requirement for adherence to the City of Carlsbad PM (Planned Industrial)
Zone Performance Standards:
“Sec.21.34.090 (5) All uses shall be operated so as not to produce humidity, heat,
glare or high-intensity illumination which is perceptible without instruments by the
average person while on or beyond the lot containing the use.”
Beyond the above quoted minimum standard, the Newton Drive Industrial Facility would
further minimize and contain undesirable outdoor light emissions by adopting the following
light and glare mitigation measures:
i. All “street lighting” will utilize low pressure sodium fixtures.
ii. All “street lighting,” safety and security lighting will be specifically shielded by
Page 21
r
c
c
location in order to:
w prevent spillover into neighboring residential lots, and
w prevent vertical leakage into the night sky
iii. All parking facility lighting will be setback, andor directed away, from the slope
bank between the Industrial Facility and the residential mobile home park to the
north, in order to shield residential inhabitants from nuisance lighting.
r XIV. CULTURAL RESOURCES
c
f
a) Excavation below the weathered zone of the Santiago Formation has the potential to
disturb significant paleontological resources. This impact, however, if properly monitored
to allow recovery of fossil materials can actually be a benefit of the project. It is
recommended that, as a mitigation measure, the applicant shall retain the services of a
qualified paleontologist acceptable to the City of Carlsbad, for the duration of grading below
the weathered zone of the site. The paleontologist shall be responsible for monitoring the
grading process and recovering any exposed fossil materials. Such recovered materials shall
be placed with an appropriate institution for curation.
b,c,d,e) No historical or archaeological resources were identified within the study area by the
literature review, record search and actual field survey conducted of the site (Gallegos &
Associates, 1997).
XV. RECREATION
a,b) Construction of the proposed Newton Drive Industrial Facility would not increase the
demand for neighborhood or regional parks or other recreational facilities, nor would it
significantly affect any existing recreational resources. The project site is located within an
industrial area serving as an employment draw for the region. Recreational opportunities are
generally more sought out near housing stocks, than they are near employment opportunities.
Though company “softball teams” and the like, will seek area recreational opportunities, it
is believed that the City of Carlsbad offers these opportunities in sufficient amounts to serve
community and project needs.
XVI. Mandatory Findings of Significance
r i
a) No wildlife will be negatively impacted as a result of the proposed project. The reader’s
attention is directed to the Biological Resources section of this checklist and the attached
Page 22
c
Biological Survey report for a detailed addressment of these subject areas.
b) No cumulative or long term environmental goals could be identified, which would be
associated with the subject property, that would be sacrificed as a result of project
implementation.
c). No direct or indirect adverse effects on human beings have been identified which might
occur as a result of construction of the proposed project.

ABSTRACT:
?
This report provides the results of a cultural resource study completed by Gallegos & Associates in March 1997. The study included a literature review, record search, field survey of the study area, and recommendations. The study area, situated within the City of Carlsbad extends Northeast from the end of Newton Drive and bordered to the North by Camino Hills trailer park.
No cultural resources were identified within the study area by the literature review, record search, and field survey. Given the negative results, impacts admitigation measures need not be addressed. No further work is recommended. Should development be proposed, the intact portion of W-122, situated adjacent and west of the project area, will need to be flaggedstaked for avoidance of secondary impacts.

SECTION 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Gallegos & Associates conducted a cultural resource study for the Sterling project. This
report provides results of a records search, literature review, and cultural resource survey
of the study area.
Literature information and site records for previously recorded cultural resources within a
one-mile radius of the study area were obtained from the South Coastal Information Center
at San Diego State University and from the San Diego Museum of Man. The resumes of
key personnel are provided in Appendix A.
? 1.2 PROPOSED PROJECT
The proposed project is for the evaluation of a 14 acre plot of undeveloped land situated
Northeast of Newton Drive in Carlsbad , California (Figures 1-1 and 1-2). The project
area is shown on the San Luis Rey 7.5' USGS 1968 quadrangle map (Figure 1-2). The
proposed project is for the purchase and potential commercial development of the property.
1.3 ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING
The project area is located generally Northeast of Newton Drive extending North to Camino
Hills trailer park. Topography within the general area includes the Oak Lake area and knoll
slopes. Vegetation includes introduced grasses and trees, and disturbed riparian habitat
surrounding the lake. The approximate 14-acre project area is disturbed by construction of
roads , periodical farming ,various industrial complexes, periods of dumping, and major
land cutting and earth moving activities. Portions of the study area have been used
historically for ranching and farming.

includes the traditional complexes of San Dieguito, La Jolla and Pauma within the Early
(Archaic) Period dated circa from 9000 to 1300 years ago (Early Period). The initial
occupation (San Dieguito Complex) is believed to represent a people who entered San
Diego County from the desert. These people hunted, fished, milled plant foods, and
collected and processed shellfish. Archaeological sites reflecting Early Period occupation
include coastal habitation sites, shell dumps, lithic scattrs, inland habitation sites, milling
stations, and quarry sites. San Dieguito and La Jollflauma Complexes are believed to be
of the same cultural stock, representing one long period of occupation.
Occupation after 1300 years ago (Late Period) is well documented by the numerous
Kumeyaay/DiegueAo and LuiseAo habitation sites. Adacts and cultural patterns reflecting
this Late Period occupation include small projectile points, pottery, obsidian from Obsidian
Butte, and cremations.

1.5 BACKGROUND - HISTORIC by Roxana Phillips
During the Spanish period of occupation, the general area in and around the study area
served as grazing land for cattle and other livestock belonging primarily to Mission San
Luis Rey. After secularization of the Franciscan missions in 1834, three large tracts of
surrounding land were granted to individuals by the prevailing Mexican government.
These grants include Rancho Aqua Hedionda which the study area lies within, Rancho Las
Encinitas to the south, and Rancho Los Vallecitos de San Marcos to the East. The former
mission holdings continued to be used for grazing cattle and horses long after the advent of
American Rule and gradually became available for agricultural settlement with a focus on
crop production.
Despite the fact that numerous immigrants arrived in San Diego in the 1880s seeking rural
lands, few selected north San Diego County for settlement. Rancho Agua Hedionda
ultimately became the property of the Kelly family, and land developers purchased Rancho
Los Vallccitos de San Marcos and laid out a town site that 1atc.r kame the community of
San Marcos A colony, commonly known as Olivenhain, focused on agricultural pursuits,
purchascd Rancho Las Encinitos and survived for a short pcriod of time bcfore
abandonment of tl~e land. Some ol' the original colonisu rc.maincd in hc area as
indcpcnclcnt land owncrs. Many of thc sculcrs associated with acquisition ol' rancho
property or land made available to new settlement, remained to establish rural communitics.

1.6 RECORD SEARCH AND LITERATURE REVIEW RESULTS
The records search conducted at the South Coastal Inlormation Center and the San Diego
Museum of Man idenuled no prehistoric sites within the study area. However, one site
W-122 was found adjacent and west of the study area. W-122 was first recorded in 1974
by Moriarty and was later updated during the Camino Hills project in 1981 by Hannahs.
The most recent survey of W-122 reported it to be a partial shell midden with little
remaining depth. In 1916 Charles Kelly reported the site was covered with rock hearths,
house floors, and reported finding human remains during plowing activities. Little of this
site currently remains, however. It is likely that at one time a portion of W-122 rested
within the project area. The portion of W-122 which would have been within the study
area has been severly cut and graded, followed by farming activities. As a result of this
prior disturbance, no portion of W-122 rests within the current project area.
!
Record searches have identified 32 cultural resources within a one-mile radius of the study
area. The recorded cultural resources include prehistoric shell scatters, lithic scatters,
temporary camps, habitation sites milling areas and isolate artifacts. No known historic
resources lie within a one mile radius of the study area. The large number and wide variety
' of prehistoric cultural resources in the general region are evidence of long term use of the
area. The presence of several nearby creeks, appropriate lithic material for stone tools, and
floral and faunal resources made the region desirable for Native Americans and later
European settlers.

METHODS, RESULTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
2.1 METHODS
The cultural resource survey was conducted by Gallegos & Associates in March 1997. The
field survey was completed by Dennis Gallegos, Tracy Stropes, and Mike Caldwell. The
project area was surveyed on foot using a 10 m interval between survey transects. Ground
visibility was good to poor as portions of the project area were covered with vegetation.
Vegetation covers approximately 50 percent of the ground surface area. In addition,
cudgraded and fill areas obstructed overall ground visibility. Disturbance within the project
area includes existing roads, agricultural activity, dumping and cut and fiu of earth
movement activities.
2.2 SURVEY RESULTS
No cultural resources were identified during the field survey.
One site W- 122, located adjacent and west of the study area, was relocated during the
current study. Site W-122, was recorded by Moriarty (1974) and was reported to be 'a
partial shell midden. This site has not been tested for significance. The portion outside the
project area has been disturbed by agricultural activities. Currently this portion of the site is
represented by a shell scatter and lithic artifacts. The east portion of the site, previously
within the project area, has been destroyed by grading.
2.3 RECOMMENDATIONS
Given the absence of prehistoric or historic resources within the project area, impacts and
mitigation of impacts need not be addressed. The remaining portion of W-122, situated
adjacent and west of the pro-ject area will need to be flaggedlstaked for avoidance, should
development be proposed.
