II. PROJJXX DE!ERIPTION AND BACKGROUND The proposed public works project consists of the replacement and expansion of the VistaKarlsbad Sewer Interceptor, which is the major trunk system serving the northern half of the City. The interceptor extends from the Buena Vista Lagoon, through the downtown area and Agua Hedionda Lagoon to the Encina Water Pollution Control Facility Treatment Plant. The project includes the construction of a 36” to 48” replacement interceptor parallel to the existing interceptor within the rights-of-way of Jefferson Street from I-5 to Oak Avenue, Oak Avenue to the railroad right-of-way, and south along the railroad right-of-way to a point 1,400 feet south of Tamarack Avenue. Section 65401 of the California Government Code requires that a General Plan Consistency Determination be made for major public works projects. This Consistency determination for the project was made by the Planning Commission on May 15, 1991. The Interceptor expansion is required due to projected capacity deficits identified in the Zone 1 Local Facilities Management Plan and the City’s Master Sewerage Plan. The expanded interceptor satisfies through buildout the Zone 1 Growth Management Performance Standard for sewer collection systems requiring trunk line capacity to meet demand. The existing interceptor will be abandoned and each new segment will be constructed when the lines can no longer meet current or future demand. Construction will consist of trench grading to bury the new interceptor parallel to existing lines within the City and railroad rights-of-way. . RP 90-6/CDP 90-3 - VKI-AKARLSBAD SEWER INTERCEPTOR JUNE 5, 1991 PAGE 2 Planninn Issues 1. IS the proposed public works project consistent with the Village Redevelopment Zone as specified in the Village Area Redevelopment Plan? 2. Are the proposed improvements consistent with the Land Use and Public Facilities Elements of the General Plan? 3. Is the proposed project consistent with the Village Redevelopment Local Coastal Program as specified in the Village Design Manual? Village Redevelopment Zone Approval of the proposed major public works project is consistent with the Redevelopment Zone since the Village Area Redevelopment Plan authorizes the Housing and Redevelopment Commission to make provisions for the construction of public utilities necessary to carry out the Plan’s goals and objectives. The Redevelopment Zone is subject to the Growth Management standard for sewer collection systems requiring that trunk line capacity to meet demand must be provided concurrent with development. The City’s Master Sewerage Plan indicates that the above described improvements to the VistaKarlsbad Interceptor will be required to meet existing as well as buildout demand; therefore, approval of the new Interceptor is necessary to accomplish the goals and objectives set forth in the Redevelopment Plan. General Plan Consistency One oveniding goal of the Public Facilities Element of the General Plan is to ensure that adequate public facilities are available for the existing and future population of the City. This project achieves this objective by providing existing and future residents in Zone 1 with an adequate sewer collection system through buildout of the City. The Land Use Elanent of the General Plan states that the Planning Department should: 1) permit the development of land only after adequate provision for services such as transportation, water, sewerage, utilities, and public facilities; and 2) develop programs which would correlate rate of growth and service capabilities of the City. This project which provides an adequate sewer collection system to meet the existing and future demand of the area as required by the Growth Management Ordinance is consistent with these policies. - RP 90-6KDP 90-3 - WST!KARLSBAD SEWER INTERCEPTOR JUNE 5, 1991 PAGE 3 Village Redevelonment Coastal DeVdODment Promam The portion of the project within the Village Redevelopment Coastal Program area is consistent with the Local Coastal Plan since the expanded capacity of the new sewer interceptor will allow development to proceed to meet projected future demand based on the existing General Plan designations regulating residential density and commercial/industrial uses. Trench grading in the existing street rights-of-way to bury the interceptor segments will minimize prolonged construction impacts such as traffic, dusr, and noise. In summary, the proposed improvements to the VistaKarlsbad Sewer Interceptor are consistent with the above General Plan goals and policies, the Redevelopment Zone, and the Local Coastal Program; therefore, Staff recommends that the Design Review Board recommend approval of Redevelopment Permit RP 90-6 and Coastal Development Permit CDP 90-3 as conditioned. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Planning Director has detetmined that the project will have no significant environmental impacts and has issued a Negative Declaration on December 28, 1990. This Planning Directois decision was based on the Initial Study and a field visit conducted by staff. The project will replace an existing sewer interceptor and will be located underneath existing streets, and therefore will create no significant environmental impacts. The Negative Declaration was sent to the State Clearinghouse for agency review and no comments were received. ATTACHMENTS 1. Design Review Board Resolution No. 166 2.

Does the project have the potential to achieve short-term, to the dis- advantage of long-term, environmental goals? (A short-term impact on the environment is one which occurs in a relatively brief, definitive period of time while long-term impacts will endure well into the future.) 35. Does the project have the possible environmental effects which are in- dividually limited but cumulatively considerable? (“Cumulatively con- siderable” means that the incremental effects of an individual project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects.) 36.

The purpose of the project is :z ?Y;...: _ :!.e capacity of rhe existing Visra/Carlsbad Sewer kttercepror to meet current as well as the ?:c:c-_- b:ild-our derar,d of Local Facilities Management Zone 1. ‘:e buried FaraLe! ro existing interceptors under The new 36” IO 48” sewer inre:ceTrzr . . . PHYSICAL ENVTRONMENT I’ne proposed interceptor will be located beneath existing streets and along the railroad tighr: ci Y, -, rherefore, no encroachment into a floodplain or geologically hazardous area will occur. Trench g-x:::. : cn relatively flar graded surfaces should nor result in erosion problems. Trench grading will occur to accommodate the underground sewer interceptor which eilds a: :Y.? approximate boundary of the Agua Hedionda floodplain; therefore no modification of any uarer.,. -‘. bvill occur. The proposed project will actually reduce the potentially adverse impacts to air and :~:z:~‘: quality by ensuring adequate sewer line capacity to the Encina Water Pollution Control Facility to z-.,5: current and future demands for sewer service. The proposed gravity flow sewer interceptors will require no additional pumping; therefore, addiric::: fuel or energy requirements are minimal. All of the proposed grading will occur in previously disturbed transponation conidors rherci:.- eliminating the risk of disturbance to any archaeological, palenontological or historical sires, struct~:~s. or objects. BIOLOGKAL ENVIRONMENT The proposed project will occur under existing streets and within the ATS&F railroad right of USA>.; therefore, no adverse impacts to any species of plant or animal or habitat, or prime agricultural 1ar.i will result. The project consistr of the replacement of the existing sewer interceptor to supply current and future demand for sewer se&cc. Any noise impacts will be those resulting f?om the temporary grading ar.d construction. The temporary grading and construction noise and dust impacts to surrounding residential and commercial development are unavoidable; these impacts are necessary to provide adequate sewer facilities to the area. The required grading permit will restrict construction operations to the hours of 7:00 a.m. to sunset on weekdays, and a dust abatement procedure is required to minimize these impacts on the surrounding area. Since no construction above grade will occur, no light or glare impacts are anticipated. -6- The interceptor till run under Jefferson Street, Oak Avenue, Chesrnut Avenue and the ATS&F xailrc z 1 fight of way and during constxuction of the system, there wiU be short term impacts 10 cb,e Pres2Tb: patterns of circulation and increased hazards to motor vehicles, bicyclists and pedestrians due r. :?22,.;. equipment on the street, street closures, the reduction in the size of the travel lanes, crezc’%ru .- ’ . .._ 1..- other construction hazards associated with working along an existing and esrablished circ::::. .r. s!srem. These impacts will be reduced to a level of insignificance by the use of safe cor,s;~-:;:: :.-. practices and an approved traffic management plan incorporating appropriate signage, barr.;z:r’: phasing, detours if necessary, and traffic management during peak hour traffic periods rec,u:;re1 :S : condition of the grading permit. The location of the new interceptor has been engineered ro avoid damage to or COI-C: ,,\ ( .L - L... ^_.P e.xisting utility lines during construction; therefore risk of explosion or release of hazardous j~‘cs:::.:~- is minimal. The proposed expansion of sewer capacity resulting from the replacemenr of the exisring krerct;: _: is required to meet the current through the projected build-our demand for sewer services basei ;:. approved General Plan land uses for the area it will serve. Therefore, the proposed project is Z-L: growth inducing and no additional population, housing or traffic beyond that anricipared b!. ::? General Plan will result. Although a portion of the new interceptor will be constructed wirhin the railroad right of way, 7.: intermprion or delay of scheduled rail trips is anticipated. The project will not interfere with emergency response or evacuation plans. The sewer interceptor will be constructed entirely below grade and therefore will have no ~V!svzi impacts. The sewer interceptor will be constntcted under existing street and railroad rights of way; therefore. no recreational opportunities will be impacted. The proposed VistaKarlsbad sewer interceptor project is one phase of the Sewer Master Plan and is required to expand the capacity of flow to meet the demand projected by the Zone 1 Local Facilities Management Plan. The project was included in the 1987-88 Capital tmprovement Program and wiII be constructed entirely within the right of way of collector and local streets and the railroad in the Nonhwest Quadrant. -7- .WALYSIS OF VLkBLE ALTERNATIVES TO THE PROPOSED PROJECT SUCH As: , A. B. E C. D. F. G. a) Phased development of the projecr, b) altanate site designs, c) alternate scale of development, d) alternate uses for the site, e) development ar some future time rather than now, :? alremate sites for rhe proposed, and g) no project airernarive. The adopted Sewer Masrer Plan and the Ciry’s adopted Growth $lanagem,ent Plan which has ser standards for the phasing and capacity of additional sewer faciiities provides the analysis of altemarives for A B, and E above. Not Applicable. The proposed sewer interceptor will be buried parallel to the existing interceptor in srreet and railroad rights of way; no alternate uses for the sire are possible and no alternate sire is appropriate. The no project alternative would preclude any future development in the City’s northwest quadrant due to the City’s adopted performance standard requiring sewer facilities to meet demand to be provided concurrent with development.

PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS: 1) PCD/GPC 90-13 - VISTA/CARLSBAD SEWER INTWCEPTOR - Request for a General Plan Consistency Determination to allow the construction of a 36" to 18" sewer interceptor within the City right-of-way along Jefferson Street, Oak Avenue, and within the AT&SF railroad right-of-way from Oak Avenue to a point south of Olive Avenue and a 12" sewer main within the right-of-way of Chestnut Avenue from Harding Street to the AT&SF railroad right-of-way. Anne Hysong, Assistant Planner, reviewed the background of the request and stated that the proposed project consists of the replacement and expansion of a portion of the Vista/Carlsbad sewer interceptor located east of I-5, the Buena Vista, and Agua Hedionda lagoons. It is under consideration because a General Plan Consistency Determination is required for public works projects. Ihe interceptor expansion is necessary to correct existing and projected sewer line capacity deficits identified in the Zone 1 Local Facility Management Plan and the City's Master Sewage Plan. The proposed interceptor will be buried parallel to the interceptor located in the right-of-way of Jefferson Street, Oak Avenue, and the railroad right-of-way. The project also includes a 12" sewer main in the right-of-way of Chestnut Avenue from Harding Street to the railroad right-of-way. The project will provide an adequate sewer collection system to the area through buildout and is, therefore, consistent with the goals and policies of the Public Facilities and Land Use Element for the General Plan requiring adequate public facilities to meet the demand of the existing and future population. May 15, 1991 MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION Page 2 The public works project is consistent with the General Plan and staff recommends that the Commission make the required consistency determination. Commissioner Erwin inquired when the construction would start and finish. Gary Kellison, Municipal Projects, replied that construction would begin in 1992 concurrent with the Chestnut Avenue sewer project. The balance of the project would commence in the year 2000+ depending on when the Vista/Carlsbad jointly owned interceptor reaches capacity. Commissioner Erwin expressed curiosity about the Vista/Carlsbad interceptor and inquired if Vista uses this line. Mr. Kellison replied that Carlsbad's ownership and flow percentage varies from 27-51% and the balance is owned by Vista for their effluent. These percentages do not refer to Encina but only the sewer line. Vista will be responsible for funding their portion of the project. Chairman Holmes opened the public testimony and issued the invitation to speak. There being no persons desiring to address the Commission on this topic, Chairman Holmes declared the public testimony closed and opened the item for discussion among the Commission members. Motion was duly made, seconded, and carried to adopt Planning Commission Resolution No. 3232 approving the Negative Declaration issued by the Planning Director, and adopt Planning Commission Resolution No. 3233 approving PCD/GPC 90-13 making the determination that the construction of a new Vista/Carlsbad Sewer Interceptor is consistent with the General Plan based upon the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein. 2) CUP 204(B) - ST. PATRICK'S CHURCH PARKING LOT - Request to amend an existing Conditional User Permit 204 to allow a 12,400 square foot parking lot addition which adds 27 (net) parking stalls at St. Patrick's Church, 3821 Adams Street, in the R-l Zone and in Local Facilities Management Plan Zone 1. Commissioner Schlehuber declared for the record that he is a member of the St. Patrick's congregation. After discussion with the City Attorney, Commissioner Schlehuber has decided to vote on this issue because he does not serve on any Church committees and he feels he can be fair and impartial. Robert Green, Principal Planner, reviewed the background of the request and stated that this item is a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) amendment to allow a 27 space parking lot at St. Patrick's Church located at 3821 Adams Street in the R-l Zone. Churches and accessory uses are allowed in the R-l Zone with a CUP. The proposed parking lot will supplement existing parking on the site to provide for a total of 169 parking spaces. These spaces will service the existing church and multi-purpose parish center which have 750 and 600 seats respectively. Based on the parking ordinance of 1:5 at the time the church was constructed, the 169 spaces provided were adequate for the use of either the church or the parish center. However, when both structures are fully occupied simultaneously, the present parking is not sufficient. Although the applicant does not plan to use both facilities at the same time, a condition has been placed on the CUP that Erwin Hall Holmes Noble Savary Schlehuber Schramm NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING VISTAKARLSBAD INTERCEPTOR SYSTEM RP 90-6KDP 90-3 NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Housing and Redevelopment Commission of the City of Carlsbad will hold a public hearing at the City Council Chambers, 1200 Carlsbad Village Drive (formerly Elm Avenue), Carlsbad, California, at 6:00 p.m., on Tuesday, August 13, 1991, to consider an application for a Redevelopment Permit and Redevelopment Coastal Permit to allow the construction of a 36" to 48" sewer interceptor within the City's right-of-way, on property generally located along Jefferson Street and Oak Avenue, and within the AT&SF Railroad right-of-way from Oak Avenue to the southern redevelopment boundary.
