PROJECT
(CASE NO. 10 -035 DR/CDP /EIR; N. COAST HIGHWAY 101 BEWTEEN A
STREET AND LA COSTA AVENUE)
WHEREAS, the City of Encinitas submitted an application for a Design Review Permit
and Coastal Development Permit for streetscape improvements on N. Coast Highway 101 to
improve walkability and increasing bicycle facilities through lane reductions, construction of
roundabouts, buffered bicycle lanes, pedestrian crosswalks, sidewalks, bus facilities, increased
parking, drainage and storm water quality improvements, and beautification including
landscaping, enhanced pavement accents and public art located on North Coast Highway 101
between La Costa Avenue and A Street; and temporary construction trailers and staging areas
to be removed upon completion of the project;
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing on
March 1, 2018, at which time all those desiring to be heard were heard;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Encinitas Planning Commission
hereby recommends to City Council APPROVAL of Case No. 10 -035 DR /CDP /EIR based on
the following Environmental Determination and Findings:
Section 1. California Environmental Quality Act Determination
An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was prepared for the project to identify the significant
effects of the project on the environment, to identify alternatives, and to indicate the manner in
which the significant effects can be mitigated or avoided. Pursuant to the CEQA Guidelines, a
45 -day public review and comment period was established (December 2, 2016 to January 16,
2017) for the Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR). Additionally, a supplemental 45 -day
public review and comment period was established (March 14, 2017 to April 28, 2017) for
recirculation of portions of the Draft EIR. The recirculated Draft EIR reevaluated the project's
impact on emergency services. Responses to public comments on the Draft EIR have been
prepared and are included in the Final EIR.
The EIR concludes that the Project would result in potentially significant effects on traffic
circulation and fire protection services. As part of the EIR's impact analysis, it was determined
that the significant traffic circulation impacts are unavoidable; however, the project's impact on
fire protection services can be mitigated below a level of significance.

segment would be avoided if the City's Housing E|8rO8Dt Update, approved by the City Council
in 2018. is not irnp|8DleDied. At the southbound |Dt8[St8t9 5 OnnBDlpfnOOl L8UC8di@ BoU[VV@nd,

the diSCh8q]8 rates from the metering at these [80pS CVU|d be 8diUSt8d slightly higher (i.8.'
iDCP88Sing the 8V8[8g8 discharge rate by two V8hiC|HS/hOUr/|8Oe) FeSU|UOg in |88S delay and
queuing. However, there iSOOguarantee that such adjustments Of these ramp meters can occur
since they are controlled by another agency (C8lt[8OS) and not the City.
The BR further states that to approve the proposed Project, the City nnUSL adopt o "Statement of
OV8nidiDQ COOSidS[8tODS" pursuant to CEQAGUid8|iD8S G8CtiOOS 15043 and 15083 to justify
the UDGVOid8b|8 traffic CiPCU|8dVO iODp@[tS at the southbound North Coast Highway 101 S8grneOt
between LeUc8di8 BOU|8V8nd and B Portal. The CEClA pFOViSiOOS allow 8 |88d agency to cite 8
project's gSD8[8| 8CO000iC, SOCi8L or other benefits as justification for choosing to 8UOw the
occurrence Of specified significant environmental effects that have not been avoided. The CE[}A
p[OViSiOOS [8qUi[8 the agency to provide in writing the specific reasons to support its 8CtiOO to
approve 8 project with 8 8t8i8Ol8O[ Of overriding CODSidHr8tiOOS indicating that 8 project's
benefits OUbN8igh the UDaVOid8b|8 significant effects. The OV8[[idiDg COOS(d8[8tioO SL@LeDl8Ot
must b8 supported by substantial evidence.
The City of Encinitas, 8S the lead agency, finds that the Project 8S proposed would have the
SUbSt8OU8| |eg8|. SOC8|. eDvPODnl8Ot8[ and economic benefits that outweigh the UO8VOid8b|8
impacts to traffic circulation.
The impacts on fire protection services are associated with the construction of the four of the six
p[Op0G8d nDUDd8bOUtS |OC8t8d at Jupiter Str8Et, Grandview Street, Bishop's Gate Road and
"New ROad" These roundabouts would be located within an area where the Fire [)8p8rt[D8Dt'S

require the Fire O8p@d09Dt'S staging of emergency response vehicles in the project corridor
prior tO construction Of the four roundabouts.
The Final BR required compliance with Mitigation, Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP)
and the mitigation that are required for the project. The Planning Commission recommends City
Council certify the Final Environmental Impact Report as complete.
