1. SUP 06-10X2(A) (DEV06068) – AGUA HEDIONDA OUTER LAGOON MAINTENANCE – Request for
approval for a retroactive five year extension and amendment of a Floodplain Special Use Permit to allow
for periodic maintenance dredging of the Agua Hedionda Outer Lagoon (that portion of the lagoon
adjacent to the ocean between Carlsbad Boulevard and the railroad track trestles), and the placement
and quantities of the dredged sand, as suitable, to the north and south of the inlet jetty within the Agua
Hedionda Segment of the city’s Local Coastal Program, where the California Coastal Commission (CCC)
has retained coastal development permitting authority. The sand dredge and receiver sites are located
in the city’s Local Facilities Management Zone 1. 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 15304(g), which specifically exempts
maintenance dredging where the spoil is deposited in a spoil area authorized by all applicable state and
federal regulatory agencies of the state CEQA Guidelines.

basement, and a 527 square foot attached garage within the Mello II Segment of the City’s Local Coastal
Program located at 5098 Shore Drive within Local Facilities Management Zone 3. The project site is
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

PLANNING COMMISSION PROCEDURE
For those in the audience who are not familiar with the operation of a Planning Commission, the following is
a summary of the procedure:
For each item on the agenda, the planning staff will present a report to the Planning Commission. On items
for public hearing, the audience will be asked for comment. Those wishing to speak are asked to come
forward, speak into the microphone, and give their name and address for the taped record. A time limit of
five minutes is allotted to each speaker. After testimony is completed, the applicant is allowed a rebuttal.
The Planning Commission is anxious to hear all persons wishing to give testimony. However, it is requested
that each new speaker add new information, and not repeat points which previous speakers have made.
Persons not desiring to speak, but wishing to be recorded as proponents or protesters of record, may do so
by submitting their name and address to the minutes clerk.
Certain Planning Commission decisions are final, but may be appealed to the City Council. An appeal may be
filed with the City Clerk at City Hall within 10 calendar days of the decision. The cost of filing an appeal is
$850 for all matters. If anyone wishes to question a Planning Commission decision, they may contact the
Planning Division at 1635 Faraday Avenue, between the hours of 7:30 and 5:30, Monday through Thursday,
and 8:00 to 5:00 on Friday.
