The existing site has been rough graded by others according to the Grading Plans and is ready for the following pre-construction weed abatement, soil preparation and fine grading procedures. Add the following section: 308-2.1.2 Soil Scarification The existing site has been rough graded by others per the Grading Plans. The Contractor shall decompact and cultivate the surface.of all areas to be planted or hydroseeded by discing, ripping or scarifying to a mk-rimum depth of twelve (12”). Soil should not be worked when it is so wet or dry as to cause excessive compaction or forming of hard clods or dust. The finish surface shall be free of abrupt grade changes and depressions to ensure surface drainage per the grading plans to the existing drainage structures. Add the following section: f- 308-2.1.3 Soil Testlng. Horticultural soils tests required: Prior to soil conditioning or fertilization, the Contractor shall - 65 - 2/26/99 obtain horticultural soils tests that are representative of all planting areas in the project. All soils proposed for importation from other areas shall also be tested for suitability prior to their -. incorporation into the project. Contractor shall coordinate with the Engineer for direction and approval of test sample locations. Collection of soil samples: a) Contractor shall dig test samples as described below, or as recommended by the testing laboratory. b) Soil samples shall be representative of the varying conditions on the site. Take separate samples where the appearance of the soil varies (color, texture, etc.), areas of differing exposure, drainage, cut or fill, etc. Separately sample areas where different plant types will occur (ornamentals, natives, etc.). Do not mix soils with dissimilar properties together. c) To make a sample, collect three smaller samples within the representative area (not mixing dissimilar soil types); then mix them together into one sample. d) Collect samples from 1” to 4” below the surface. e) Samples shall be a minimum of 1 pint in volume (verify with testing lab), and placed in a clean, sturdy container. Soil should be dry. Minimum test reporting requlrements: a) b) c) d) e) 0 e; 0 Soil reaction (pH); Electrical Conductivity (EC); Exchangeable Sodium Percentage (ESPY; Organic Matter Content; Soil Textural Classification; Permeability/percolation rate (extract method); Macro-nutrients: nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium; Micro-nutrients: iron, manganese, calcium; Boron analysis. l * ESP tests are not required unless EC test results are 6.0 or higher. Test results shall include recommendations by the soil lab for soil conditioning, fertilization rates, and remedial measures for problem areas. Recommendations should consider the general plant material types that will be planted in the subject soils (i.e., coastal sage scrub species). -66- --J 2/26/99 f- Approval of test results: All test results shall be submitted to the Engineer for review. Test results will be reviewed against Table 308-2.1.3(A) Acceptable Soil Test Results. No soil preparation or planting shall be performed until the Engineer has reviewed the test results and approves the soil preparation recommendations. Table 308-2.1.3(A) Acceptable Soil Test Results Test Parameter pH: EC: Acceptable Test Result 6.0-7.5. O-2.0 millimhos/cm; above 3.0, corrective action req’d . ESP: o-12.0; above 15.0, corrective action req’d. Nitrate: I ) 300+ Ibs/acre. Phosphorus: 25-55 Ibs/acre. Potassium: 50-I 10 Ibs/acre. Boron: Organic matter: 1.040 ppm; less than 1.0, too low for normal growth; above 5.0 may be toxic to certain plants. minimum 6% by weight based on the weight of the sample dried to a constant weight at 100 to 110 degrees Celsius or as determined by the sulfuric acid test. Adverse test results & soil conditioning: After consideration of soil test results, the Engineer may issue an amended soil preparation schedule which shall supersede the amendment and fertilization schedule specified herein. If test results indicate high soluble salts (EC), high exchangeable sodium percentage (ESP) readings, or unsatisfactory pH reaction, application of appropriate soil conditioners (gypsum, sulphur, lime, etc.) followed by deep water leaching may be necessary prior to planting, as determined by the Engineer. The following procedure shall be followed if directed by the Engineer at no extra cost to the Owner: a) Leaching shall take place after the irrigation system is operational and fine grading is complete, but prior to incorporation of fertilizers, organic soil amendments and planting. Gypsum, sulphur, soil penetrants (surfactants) and other recommended non-organic conditioners specified to correct adverse soil conditions shall be applied per soils report recommendations immediately prior to leaching. Conditioners shall be evenly broadcast over the area to be treated. Scratch the conditioners into the top inch of soil if possible. Use a soil penetrantlsurfacant, such as “SARVON” or “WATER-IN”, as label directs to aid moving conditioners into the soil and leaching salts. f- - 67 - 2/26/99 b) Application of leach water shall be via the irrigation system and shall be applied in a manner so ,--Y as to move the soluble salts to a minimum depth of 24”, or per soils report recommendations. As a general rule, approximately nine inches (9”) of water are needed to leach 70% to 80% of soluble salts to a twelve inch (12”) depth. Apply water via the irrigation system at a slow rate so as to avoid runoff for a minimum of five (5) irrigations over a fifteen (15) day time span. This may be speeded up for fast draining soils, or may require a longer period with shorter, repeat irrigation cycles for heavy soils. Dig soil to verify actual water percolation depth after each irrigation. Do not allow soil to dry between waterings. c) After leaching, soil tests shall be taken again to determine if soluble salt, sodium or pH levels have been corrected to acceptable levels. d) Reapplication of soil conditioners and additional leaching may be necessary if tests are still unsatisfactory. Expense of repeat tests, application of additional soil conditioners beyond that specified herein, and repeat leaching operations shall be borne by the Owner. Retest soils after leaching and soil conditioning treatments are made. Do not apply organic soil amendments and fertilizers until problems of high salts and/or sodium are remedied. Payment for tests: The Owner shall pay for testing laboratory fees and shall specify the testing laboratory.

Add the following section: 308-5.7 Irrigation System Operation and Programming. Contractor shall be responsible for programming the irrigation controller and making continual adjustments throughout the construction and maintenance periods. Watering schedules shall be adjusted as necessary to ensure the proper amount of water is applied for optimal growth and establishment of the plant material. Contractor shall consider such factors as season, weather conditions, wind patterns, soil types, soil percolation rates, plant species, stage of plant development and growth, topography, exposure, and overall plant performance in adjusting irrigation schedules. Duration and frequency of irrigation schedules shall be adjusted to prevent erosion or excessive runoff. ,r- It is the intent that the revegetation area will be irrigated during the first 2-3 years of plant establishment and discontinued thereafter once the native plant material has become established and can be sustained by natural rainfall. Irrigation scheduling and management shall focus on three phases: (1) Seed germination and seedling establishment (first 6 months) (2) Plant establishment (6-18 months) (3) Gradual irrigation withdrawal (6-12 months). Irrigation shall be carefully managed in order to promote maximum success of the new planting. Irrigation scheduling for the first six months shall be characterized by short duration cycles, frequently applied, aimed at germinating seed, and then promoting plant establishment. Over time (6-18 months), irrigation schedules shall be adjusted toward longer duration cycles, but with less frequency in order to slowly wean the plant material off of irrigation and to encourage deep root systems and natural summer dormancy cycles. Summer time irrigation management is especially critical during the first one to two years. Over-irrigation during the normal summer-fall dormancy period for coastal sage scrub must be avoided in order to curtail potential soil borne diseases, pests and weed control problems. At the same time, irrigation during the first summer-fall season should not be completely eliminated since the new seedlings may not have developed deep root systems to cope with the normal drought season. Summer watering will depend largely on the time of year that the seed was initially installed and how long the plants have had to become established before the summer-fall season. Frequent and close observation for disease (especially soil borne fungus and root rot organisms) shall be carried out and irrigation cycles adjusted if over-wet conditions are encouraging disease. Similarly, observe for signs of plant stress or mortality due to lack of water and adjust irrigation accordingly. - 75 - 2126199 308-6 MAINTENANCE AND PLANT ESTABLISHMENT. This section is modified as follows: For the purposes of this section, the “Plant Establishment Period-and the “Maintenance Period” shall - be considered as one in the same and the terms may be used interchangeably. The Maintenance Period shall be for a period of one hundred twenty (120) days. After the Contractor has completed all site preparation, soil preparation, weed abatement, irrigation system installation, hydroseeding and planting, the Contractor shall request an inspection by the Engineer for Substantial Completion of the Installation portions of the Work. The Engineer will issue to the Contractor a field report indicating any deficiencies which must be corrected or completed by the Contractor before the Work will be considered Substantially Complete. Once the Work is deemed Substantially Complete by the Engineer, the Engineer will issue a written notice to this effect and the Maintenance Period will begin on that date so stipulated on the notice. The Contractor shall provide complete landscape maintenance of all planted areas. The work shall include, but not be limited to, watering, litter control, weed control, stake repair, cultivating, supplementary fertilization, repair of irrigation systems, and control of diseases and pests. No mowing of planted areas shall be carried out. The Contractor shall submit a written plan to control weeds, disease, and pest infestations in the planting areas. The submittal shall conform to the requirements for shop drawings as specified in section 2-5.3 et seq. of the specifications. The Engineer shall approve all methods and materials for such control. Upon approval, the Contractor shall implement the control measures, exercising extreme caution in using pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers and other chemicals and taking all steps to ensure the safety of the public.

Contractor shall submit applicator licenses to the Engineer for all personnel who will be applying chemicals. During the Maintenance Period, the Contractor shall furnish sufficient workers and equipment on a daily basis to perform the work required by this section. Any day when the Contractor fails to adequately carry out specified maintenance work, as determined necessary by the Engineer, will not be credited as one of the Maintenance Period days. All planting areas which are damaged during the Maintenance Period shall be repaired by the Contractor within twenty (20) days. The repair shall consist of bringing the damaged area back to final grade, preparing the soil, replanting the area with the same vegetation as originally specified, and maintaining the area to achieve acceptable plant establishment. -.,, The Contractor shall re-seed all hydroseeded areas that have eroded or have not germinated at the end of each thirty (30) day period following initial seeding and continuing through the end of the Maintenance Period, or until such time as a solid and uniform stand of healthy seedlings is achieved, which ever is longer. If areas requiring reseeding are small in area in the opinion of the Engineer, hand seeding at the rates specified in the original specifications may be allowed at the sole discretion of the Engineer in lieu of hydroseeding. If hand seeded, a Type 1 mulch, per section 212.1.2.4, shall be used as a seed cover, spread at a depth of one-half to three-quarters of an inch, damped with a fine mist of water, then tamped to compact the mulch and seed. The hydroseeded areas must be sufficiently well rooted and established with an even and consistent coverage of the specified plant material over the entire planted area in no less than 30 days before the end of the maintenance period. The seeded area shall have a minimum 80% coverage of the specified plant materials in the seed mix. For the purposes of this section, “coverage” is defined as the area of ground covered by the vertical projection of the canopy (foliage) outline of the plants. Plant coverage shall be evenly dispersed over the entire planting area. In no case shall there be any individual bare areas devoid of the specified plant material larger than (4) four square feet. The planting shall be adequate to prevent erosion and provide for the habitat revegetation objectives of the project. The adequacy of the planting and establishment as specified in this- section shall be solely judged by the Engineer. Should the coverage not be achieved the maintenance period shall be extended until the required coverage is achieved plus an additional 30 day period. The Contractor shall call for a final inspection 30 days before the end of the maintenance period and at the end of the - 76 - 2126199 .- maintenance period. Failure to pass inspection will result in an extension of the maintenance period. The Contractor shall continue to provide maintenance for such time necessary to obtain conformance to the specifications. For all planting areas in the project area, The Contractor shall maintain said areas during the Maintenance Period or until Final Acceptance of the Work, whichever is the greater. Final Acceptance will not be given until the Maintenance Period is completed to the satisfaction of the Engineer and when all requirements of the Contract Documents have been fulfilled by Contractor. 308-7 GUARANTEE.

AGENDA OF: January 6,1999 ) SUBJECT: P 98-39 - FWAY w Fm - hpSt for approval Of a Mitigated Negative Declaration, Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program and Coastal Dev&pment Permit to allow improvement ‘of the 5.400 foot extension of Faraday Avenue &om its existing terminus to future Cannon Road in Local Facilities Management Zone 8. I. RECOMMENDATION That the Planning Commissi~ AQQX Planning Commission Resolution No. 4450 AppRoMNG a Mitigated Negative De&ration, and Mitigation Mouitoriug and Reporting Program, and ARQX Planning Commission Resolution No. 4451 ApppoMNc; CDP 98-39 based upon the findings and sr&ject to the conditions contained therein. II. INTRODUCTION -. The improvement to Faraday Avenue is a City Capital Improvement Project. Because the road segment is located within the Coastal Zone and the Melio II seg&nt Carl&ad Local Coastal Program, a City of C&bad issued Coastal Development Permit is required. The area of construction is within 100 fttt of a wetland and stream and is therefore in the Coastal Commission appeal area. III. The project is cm' Ion of Faraday Avenue for approximately 5,400 linear feet as shown on the location map. The improvements include thi road, sidewalks on the cast side, two pedestrian underpasses, a landsqedmedian and adjacent grading. Faraday Avenue is designed so that the roadway is split and at two elevations. The travelway hcadii towards Cannon Road and adjacent to the future Veteran’s Memorial Park is at a higher elevation than the travelway adjacent to the fhture Carlsbad Municipal Golf Course. The median will therefore be doped in some areas. The roadway will also cany a 12” water, redlaimed water, and sewer lines. The sewer line will be in the south lane and water and reclaimed water in the north. IV. ANALYSlS r- Constwtion of the improvements to Faraday Avenue are consistent with the Circulation Element of the General Plan and is therefore consistent with the Local Coastal Program’s CDP 98-39 - FARADAY ROAD EXTENSION JANUARY 6.1999 desienation for land USC. Improvement of the right-of-wy impicmcnt~ the goal of the circulation element for Faraday Avcnuc to be improved as a cokctor street. The road improv~cnts will not obstruct views or othcrwisc damage the visual beauty of the coastal zone in that there are no significant visual rcmurces associated with the area of disturbance. The ioad alignment primarily passes through agkultural land with rctatively minor impacts to wildlifk habitat. A total of six acres of coastal sage scrub will be impacted. The six acres can be cfkctively replaced on-site or through purchase of OfFsite credits in the C&bad Hiphlarrrlc Mitigation Bank. The agxicultural area is not designated as significant. The project will completciy avoid impacts to w&lands. . There are no geologic instability issues exist& onsite. The project will implement the City’s Master Drainage and Storm Water Quality Management Plan as well as the City’s grading ordinanci to avoid increased runoff and soil erosion. An analysis of the site was conducted and signScant but mitigable impacts were identified. A Mitigated Negative Dcclaratioa was issued by the Planning Dkector and’published for public comment dated July 2, 1998. Direct impacts were identified to disturbed coastal sage ScNb. - Applicable wildlife agency permi~ will be required. There will be no impacts to wetlands. The project is subject to mitigation measures as described in the Mitigated Negative Declaration and the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. 1_ Planning Commission Resolution No. 4450 (Neg.

In addition to reviewing the materials atEached to the HLP, the following materials were consulted: the Mitigated Negative Declaration (ND) for the Faraday Avenue Extension; the “Draft Expanded Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declarntion for the Faraday Avenue Roadway Extension”; the “Expanded Initial StudyIMiigated Negative Declaration Mitigation Monitoring Program for the Faraday Avenue Roadway Extension” prepared by CottonIBelancVAssociates (June 1998); the biotechnical report prepared by Me&cl& Associates, Inc. (June $1998); the City’s drafi Habitat Management Plan (HMP; October 1998); the Final Env@nmental Impact Report for the Car&ad Municipal Golf Course (March 1998); and the Revised Draft Environmental Impact Report for the Carlsbad Municipal Golf Course (October 1998). Ms. Julie Vanderwier (Service) and David Lawhead (Department) also met with you, Christer Westman (City), and John Strohminger (O’Day Consultaats) on December 3,1998 to resolve outstanding mitigation issues. The Faraday Avenue extension project site, is located in the northwest quadrant of the City of Carl&cl (City), south and east of Agua Hedionda Lagoon, north of Macario Canyon and Palomar Airpbrt Road, and west of El Camino Real. The project would extend existing Faraday Avenue approximately 5,400 linear feet from its westeriy terminus to connect with future Cannon Road. With the exception of a small portion of privately-owned land at the western end of the proposed project areq the X&foot wide right-of-way for the road is under Cii ownership and identified as open space in the City’s General Plan (1994). Faraday Avenue has been designed to be a “split” roadway which will result in a linear and vertical separation of the two 26foot wide travel lanes in several locations. Cons&u&on is anticipated to commence in July 1999 and be completed by December 1999. Pfojcct implementation wouldresult in the dire& permanent loss of approximateiy six acres of Diegan coastal sage scrub and one pair of the federally-listed threatened coastal California gnatcatcher (Pdioptilrr c&f&mica caZ@mica; gnatcatcher), one-half acre of non-native grassland, and an unspecified amount of agricultural and disturbed lands. No direct impacts to southem maritime chaparral or riparian/mulefat scrub communities are anticipated. Ms. Sheni Howard 2 1 Direct project impacts to coastal sage scrub and the gnatcatcher, and indii impacts to the gnatcatcher, will be mitigated at ratios of 2:l and 1: 1, respectively. OfFsite mitigation will be through the use of 10.8 acres of credii in the Carl&ad Highlands Conservation Bank (already secured). On&e mitigation includes restoration of coastal sage scrub on 0.86 acre of contiguous agricultural fields on Veteran’s Memorial Park and 0.08 acre of cut and fill slopes. The restoration plan (which will include a monitoring program and success criteria) will he submitted to the Wildlife Agencies for our review and concurrence. Additionally, cons&u&on activities will be restricted to that period outside of the breeding season (February 15 to Au8ust 15). If construction activities must occur during this time frame, the City proposes to conduct pre-constnrction surveys to identify active nests within 250 feet of the construction zone. If active nests are found, no construction will occur within 200 feet of an activt nest until the end of the breeding season (August 15). Based upon our review of the information discussed above, the Wildlife Agencies have determined that the HLP for the Faraday Avenue Extension pro&t is consistent with the interim coastal sage scrub loss criteria established in the NCCP Conservation Guidelines as discussed below: . The habitat loss does not exceed the five percent guideline. While the City has now exhausted its five percent allocation, sufYicient acreage was reserved by the Cii to accommodate the loss associated with the Faraday Avenue won project at its November 17,1998 City Council hearing. As such,sufficient acreage exists for the loss of this 5.5 acres of coastal sage scrub. . The habitat loss will not preclude commctivii between areas ofhigh habitat vahms. The project is located at the southern edge of Core Area 4 which connects to Liige Area F (dmft -- HMP, October 1998). The roadway is i&m&d in the City’s Circulation Element and has been designed to be a “split” roadway which will incorporate a vegetated median in some areas. Immediately north and south of the roadway, agricultural lands are proposed to be revegetated to coastal sage scrub to a&St in the dispersal of bii species, particularly the gnatcatcher. As such, it is not anticipated that the loss of coastal sage scrub associated with thii project will preclude co~ccthily from Linkage Area F into Core Area 4. . The habitat loss will not prechrde or prevent the preparation of the sub-regional NCCP. The loss of 5.5 acres of coastal sage scrub associated with the Faraday Avenue Extension would not preclude or prevent plan preparation as the project has been reviewed in light of other planning efforts and the mitigation proposed would assist in achieving the goals identified for this area in the City’s HMP through the restoration of coastal sage scrub in a key location and conservation of lands in the Carlshad Qhlands Conservation Bank. . Habitat loss has heen miniiized and mitigated to the maximum extent practicable in accordance with Section 4.3 of the NCCP Guidelines.

The habitat loss will not appreciably reduce the likelihood of survival and recovery of the wastal California gnatcatcher in the wild. One pair of gnatcatchers would be directly affected by project implementation, however, this loss would not preclude or appreciable reduce the likelihood of survival and recovery of the species. Ms. Sherri Howard 3 /c . The habitat loss is incidental to otherwise lawful activities. An Initial Study was prepared and ND adopted for this project in the fall of 1998. Identified impacts will be fully mitigated through the wnditions which have heen made part of the project description and mitigation and as requirements of HL.P issuance. Based upon the project’s consistency with the interim loss criteria discussed above, the Wildlife Agencies would concur with the issuance of the 4(d) Special Rule permit for the Faraday Avenue Extension project, provided the following conditions are included: . Revise the breeding season for gnatcatcher from August 15 to August 30, annually; . Direct and indirect$mpacts to least Bell’s vim (Vireo beZliip&Zfrs; vireo) should also be addressed through the use of breeding season restrictions for grading and construction activities. The breeding season for vireo extends from March 15 through September 15, annually; and . Wildlife Agencies’ review of the coastal sage scrub restoration plan. It should be noted that this habitat loss permit only allows for the loss of 5.5 acres of coastal sage scrub associated with the Faraday Avenue Extension and expires within one year of Wildlife Agency concurrence. The acreage of coastal sage scrub impacts and preservation should be submitted to SANDAG’for their use in the regional tracking system.

CA 92123 Re: Habitat Loss Permit for Faraday Avenue Extension, Project’ 3593 (City of Carlsbad) Dear Mr. Kobetich and Mr. Tippets: On November 17, 1998, a Habitat Loss Permit was approved by the Carlsbad City Council for the Faraday Avenue Extension project. The subject property is located in the northwest Quadrant of the City of Carlsbad, as shown on the attached location map. The project will take 5.5 acres of coastal sage scrub. . Pursuant to the 4(d) rule for the California gnatcatcher, this Habitat Loss Permit is being transmitted to your offices for the required 30 day comment period. The comment period will dose ‘on January 22, 1999. A copy of the staff report to the Cii Council is attached. Supplemental materials we(8 provided previously during the CEQA review process. Additional copies of the studies will be provided at your request Attached for your reference is a tabulation of all coastal sage scrub losses authorized by the Cii of Carlsbad since March 1993. ‘- The City and your staff representatives Julii VandeMlier of the US Fii and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and Dave Lawhead of California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) met on December 3.1999, to resolve issues raised through the publication of the Mitigated Negative Declaration for the pmject and resolve issues surrounding the mitigation measures required for the project impacts. . . The Faraday Avenue Extension is located in an area commorily referred to as Macario Canyon and extends Faraday Avenue from its exiting westerly terminus to a future intersection with Cannon Road. The area is currently used for agriculture. Project impacts will be 5.5 acres of direct impact and 0.75 acres of indirect impacts. The mitigating proposed for these impacts is as follows: 1, Mitigation for the direct impacts will be a 2:1 ratio totaling 11 acres and will be through the purchase of credits from the Carlsbad Highlands Mitigation Bank. ~ 2. Mitigation for the indirect impacts will be at a 111 ratio totaling 0.75 acres. -’ 3. Mitigation will be provided through the use of the remaining available credits in the Car&bad Highlands Mitigation Bank credit purchase. Mitigation Bank Credits totaling 20 acres were purchased for the Cannon Road W&t project. Actual usage of the credits for mitigation for Cannon Road West projects left an available balance. The proposed use of the credits is as follows: 2075 Las Palmas Dr. - Cartsbad.

The total mitigation requirement is 11.75 acres. Use of Carfsbad Highlands Mitigation Bank Credii provides 10.81 acres leaving a shortfall of 0.94 acres. in addition to revegetation of the slopes adjacent to coastal sage scrub (Station 51+50 to 61 on the south side and Station 48 to 61 on the north side), revegetation of 0.86 acres is required. The revegetation is proposed on a piece of land currently farmed between the existing coastal sage scrub and the proposed md between Station 43 to 48. The revegetation plan will require approval of the USFWS and CDFG prior tpo implementation. A monitoring program and success criteria will be included in the revegetation plan. 5. To ensure there are no impacts to sensitive bird species if const~ctii begins between February 15 and August 15, the City will conduct pre-construction surveys for active nests in suitable habit within 250 feet of the construction zone. if active nests are found, no construction will occur within 200 feet of an active nest until the end of the breeding season (August 15).

The project would extend existing Faraday Avenue approximately 5,400 linear feet fkom its westerIy terminus to connect with fixture Cannon Road. With the exception of a small portion of privately-owned land at the western end of the proposed project area, the 72-foot wide right-of-way for the road is under City ownership and identified as open space in the City’s Genera1 Plan (I 994). Faraday Avenue has been designed to be a “split” roadway which will result in a linear and vertical separation of the two 26-foot wide travel lanes in several locations. Construction is anticipated to commence in July 1999 and be completed by December 1999. A.design error was identified during the bidding process for project construction. Actual construction of this road will result in directs impact to an additional 0.6 acre of coastal sage scrub, bringing the total direct impact to 6.1 acres. The Negative Declaration prepared for this project addressed both impacts associated with 2: 1 and 1.5: 1 slopes and, therefore, there is no need for further environmental review. The additional 0..6 acres of impact will be mitigated at a ratio of 2: 1 and occur through the purchase of coastal sage scrub credits at ‘the Manchester Avenue Mitigation Bank. The habitat loss does not mceed the five percent guideline as the City reserved the remaining 4.77 acres of its five percent allocation on November 17,1998; the deduction of 0.6 acre leaves a balance of 4.17 acres in the City’s allocation. Based upon our review of the information discussed above, the Wildlife Agencies have determined that this requst $0 ame@ the HLP for the Faraday Avenue Extension project is consistent with the interim coastal sage ‘scrub loss criteria established in the NCCP Conservation Guidelines. We, therefore, concur \with its issuance, noting that all other terms and conditions of the original HLP stilt if--- are applicable. Ms. Sherri Howard 2 Please note that this habitat loss permit only allows for the direct loss of 6.1 acres of coastal sage scrub associated with the Faraday Avenue Extension and expires within one year of Wildlife Agency concurrence. The additional acreage of coastal sage scrub impact and preservation should be submitted to SANDAG for their use in the regional tracking system. Please provide us with copies of any notification regarding the expiration of this pemrit. If you have any questions regarding the contents of this letter, please contact Julie Vanderwier (Service) at (760) 43 I-9440 or David Lawhead (Department) at (6 19) 467-42 Il.

On March 10, 1999, the City Manager authortzed an additional 0.6 acres from the City’s 5% allocation. The subject property is located in the northwest Quadrant of the City of Cartsbad, as shown on the attached location map. The permit allowed the project to take 5.5 acres of coastal sage scrub. During the bidding process , bidder identified a design error that requires an additional O-6 acres of take of coastal sage scrub per the attached project memorandum. Pursuant to the 4(d) rule for the California gnatcatcher, this Habiiat Loss Permit is being transmitted to your offices for the required 30 day comment period. The comment period will close on April 10, 1999. A copy of the staff report to the Cii Manager is attached. Supplemental materials were provided previously during the CEQA review process. Additional copies of the studies will be provided at your request. Attached for your reference is a tabulation of all coastal sage scrub losses authorized by the City of Carlsbad since March 1993. The Faraday Avenue Extension is located in an area commonly referred to as Macario Canyon and extends Faraday Avenue from its exiting westerly terminus to a future intersection with Cannon Road. The area is currenuy used for agriculture. Additional project impacts will be 0.6 acres of direct impact in addition to the authorized 5.5 acres of direct impacts and 0.75 acres of indirect impacts. The mitigating proposed for the addiitonal impacts is as follows: 1. Mitigation for the direct impacts will be a 2:l ratio ,totaiing 1.2 acres and will be through the purchase of credits from the Manchester Avenue Mitigation Bank. .x”- 2. To ensure there are no. impacts to sensitive bird species if construction begins between February 15 and August 30, the Cii will conduct pm-construction sumys for active nests in suitable habitat within 250 feet of the construction zone. If active nests are found, no construction will occur within 200 feet of an active nest until the end of the breeding season (August 15). 2075 Las Palmas Dr. * Carlsbad, CA 92009-1576 l (760) 436-l 161 - FAX (760) 431-5769 March 12,1999 Page: 2 Ms. Sheryl Barrett and Mr. William Tippets Habitat Loss Permit for Faraday Avenue Extension, Project 3593 (City of Carlsbad) -. 3. The additional take was reviewed as a part of the Environmental review that analyzed the slopes at 2:1 and 6 acres of total coastal sage scrub take. The slopes ’ were redesigned as part of this process to 1 l/2:1 to limit the impacts. Further review of the remedial measures necessary to construct 1 l/2:1 slopes has revealed that the back cut for both is dose to the same. The additional 0.6 acres added. tot he 5.5 acres approved under the original 4(d) permit for Faraday Avenue totaling 6.1 acres is consistent with the environmental review under the CEQA process and the Mitigated Negative Declaration approved for the project. 4. All terms and conditions of the original 4(d) for Faraday Avenue apply to this permit.
