NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission of the City of Encinitas hereby makes a recommendation to the City Council to approve the proposed Amendments to the North 101 Corridor Specific Plan and the General Plan to authorize the reduction in the number of traffic lanes on N. Coast Highway 101 between A Street to the south and La Costa Avenue to the north by adopting Draft Ordinance No attached hereto as Attachment A; BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Planning Commission, in its independent judgment, recommends that the City Council certify the Final Environmental Impact Report as complete through City Council Resolution No The 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. The significant traffic circulation impacts would occur at a road segment of North Coast Highway 101 and an Interstate southbound onramp during build-out (Year 2035) conditions. At the southbound North Coast Highway 101 segment between Leucadia Boulevard and El Portal Street, the project would cause operating conditions to worsen to unacceptable (Level of Service E ) conditions. It should be noted that the impact at the North Coast Highway 101 road Item 10A (CC-4c PC Resolution No. 14 LCPA-GP-SPA) 1 of 9
