CDP 2017-0029 (PUB17Y-0019) – PARK & TAMARACK DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS – Request for approval of a Coastal Development Permit to construct approximately 3,068 linear feet of reinforced concrete storm water pipe, 11 storm drain inlets and fixtures within the Mello II segment of the City’s Coastal Zone located within the public rights-of-way on Tamarack Avenue, Park Drive and Monroe Street within Local Facilities Management Zone 1. The project is appealable to the California Coastal Commission per Section 30603(a)(5) of the Public Resources Code of the California Coastal Act, which states any development which constitutes a major public works project costing $100,000 or more is appealable to the Commission. On August 5, 2008, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2008-229 certifying an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Drainage Master Plan Update (EIR 04-02). This project is a sub-component (BCA) of the Drainage Master Plan and was analyzed in the EIR (Table 4.1.2). The analysis stated impacts in the Coastal Zone during construction activities would be short term and minimized with implementation of the applicable project design features/methods and construction measures identified in Table 3-6 of the project EIR. The project has been conditioned to implement these mitigation measures and the project is within the scope of the prior environmental document and no further environmental documentation is required per CEQA Guidelines Section 15162.

The project site is not within the appealable area of the California Coastal Commission. The City Planner has determined that the project belongs to a class of projects that the State Secretary for Resources has found do not have a significant impact on the environment, and it is therefore categorically exempt from the requirement for the preparation of environmental documents pursuant to Section 15303(a) construction of a single- family residence of the State CEQA Guidelines.
