This document has been prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Public Resources Code §21000 et seq., and the State CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations (CCR) §15000 et seq. An Initial Study is conducted by a lead agency to determine if a project may have a significant effect on the environment [CEQA Guidelines §15063(a)]. If there is substantial evidence that a project may have a significant effect on the environment, an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) must be prepared, in accordance with CEQA Guidelines §15064(a). However, if the lead agency determines that revisions in the project plans or proposals made by or agreed to by the applicant mitigate the potentially significant effects to a less-than-significant level, a Mitigated Negative Declaration may be prepared instead of an EIR [CEQA Guidelines §15070(b)]. The lead agency prepares a written statement describing the reasons a proposed project would not have a significant effect on the environment and, therefore, why an EIR need not be prepared. This IS/MND conforms to the content requirements under CEQA Guidelines §15071. 1.2 LEAD AGENCY The lead agency is the public agency with primary approval authority over the proposed project. In accordance with CEQA Guidelines §15051(b)(1), "the lead agency will normally be an agency with general governmental powers, such as a city or county, rather than an agency with a single or limited purpose." The lead agency for the proposed project is DPR. The contact person for the lead agency is: John Justice, Project Manager Southern Service Center California Department of Parks & Recreation 2797 Truxtun Road, Barracks 26 San Diego, CA 92106 (619) 221-4368 All inquiries regarding environmental compliance for this project, including comments on this environmental document should be addressed to: - 1 - Utility Modernization Project IS/MND Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve California Department of Parks and Recreation Mike Yengling, Environmental Coordinator Southern Service Center California Department of Parks & Recreation 2797 Truxtun Road, Barracks 26 San Diego, CA 92106 [email protected] 1.3 PURPOSE AND DOCUMENT ORGANIZATION The purpose of this document is to evaluate the potential environmental effects of the proposed Utility Modernization Project at Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve. Mitigation measures have also been incorporated into the project to eliminate any potentially significant impacts or reduce them to a less-than-significant level. This document is organized as follows: • Chapter 1 - Introduction. This chapter provides an introduction to the project and describes the purpose and organization of this document. • Chapter 2 - Project Description. This chapter describes the reasons for the project, scope of the project, and project objectives. • Chapter 3 - Environmental Setting, Impacts, and Mitigation Measures. This chapter identifies the significance of potential environmental impacts, explains the environmental setting for each environmental issue, and evaluates the potential impacts identified in the CEQA Environmental (Initial Study) Checklist. Mitigation measures are incorporated, where appropriate, to reduce potentially significant impacts to a less-than-significant level. • Chapter 4 - Mandatory Findings of Significance This chapter identifies and summarizes the overall significance of any potential impacts to natural and cultural resources, cumulative impacts, and impact to humans, as identified in the Initial Study. • Chapter 5 - Summary of Mitigation Measures.

The purpose of the convoy was to prepare for the invasion of France on June 6, 1943. The troops were unloaded in North Africa not far from where one of the most memorable battles was about to take place “D-Day”. We lost one ship and that ship was carrying a local man from Springfield, IL. We proceeded empty to Naples, Italy and then returned to North Africa and picked up 500 German prison- ers to take back to the United States. One pris- oner developed appendicitis on the way to the States and needed an operation. All we had aboard were two Arab eye, ear, nose & throat specialists and a PFC (private first class) by the name of Patterson who had “some” medical training.

Moses was born in North Dakota where his father, John Moses, was a prominent lawyer and politician who became Governor and later a U.S. Senator.

On Page 2 of the Staff Report, the last two paragraphs on the page shall be revised as follows: The proposed development consists of a four-story research building, and the applicant has also proposed an alternative to the existing runway alignment that shifts the runway a few degrees to the southeast from its current alignment. In so doing, all existing and proposed penetrations of the imaginary surface of the Gliderport runway will be completely removed. In particular, these intrusions include not only the proposed building but also the 14-story UCSD student housing building which presently penetrates the approach surface on the east side of North Torrey Pines Road. Through the proposed re-alignment of the runway, the fixed-wing gliders will be able to continue to operate on the UC property. A special condition requires that no future development occur in the southwest corner on of the site be reviewed as an amendment to this permit in order to further assure that there will be no future obstacles or impediments that could diminish the ability of fixed-wing gliders to use the site for recreational purposes.

    HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE Press Contact: Leslie Araiza [email protected] 858.263.7969 THE GRANDE COLONIAL A Legacy in La Jolla La Jolla’s Grande Colonial hotel is the seaside town’s oldest original hotel. The Colonial Apartments and Hotel, as it was known when it opened on February 1st, 1913, was the talk of the town and a foundation for the community. The original white, wood-framed Colonial Apartments and Hotel, designed by Richard Requa who was the master architect of the California Exposition in Balboa Park, was described as, “a perfectly appointed apartment hotel, with the finest sun parlor and lobby overlooking the ocean on the Pacific coast.” The Original Colonial Apartments & Hotel. Circa: 1920 George Bane, who became sole owner of the Colonial in 1920, realized the tourist potential of this picturesque seaside town and decided to give the Colonial a whole new look. In 1925, he commissioned architect Frank Stevenson to design a hotel that would “rival anything in the West.” It was a huge undertaking. The existing building was moved to the rear of the property and a new, four-story, concrete, mixed-use building was erected in its place. Completed in 1928 and boasting 28 apartments and 25 single hotel rooms, the new Colonial Hotel had the first sprinkler system west of the Mississippi; solid, unsupported, reinforced cement stairways and fire doors that still exist in the structure. Even with its safety features, the Colonial was breathtaking. The “sunburst” design of windows and semi-circle domes of leaded glass above the French doors uniquely captured the sunlight and drew it into the hotel.
