The street system serving the subject property is adequate to properly handle all traffic generated by the proposed use, because this project should generate relatively little traffic and the streets adjacent to this project are fully improved. The project's location will afford the residents of the project's easy access to community, commercial and service facilities, because this project is only one block from downtown Carlsbad. This project will not cause any significant environmental impacts and a Negative Declaration has been issued by the Land Use Planning Manager on April 20, 1981.
