CA 92009-4859 Subject: Vista Carlsbad Sewer Interceptor Phase III Dear Anne: To begin, please forgive me for not responding to your letter more quickly. I regret the delay in this response. Based upon our understanding of the proposed sewer replacement project, it is still our determination that a coastal development permit is required. The Commission has adopted interpretive guidelines on categorical exclusions from permit requirements for a number of categories of repair and replacement of public facilities and utilities, but. unfortunately, the proposed sewer replacement does not fall into any excluded category of development. These guidelines exempt sewer projects that will not result in any alteration of service capacity. Typically, a replacement project would be considered to alter service capacity if the proposed project were to include a change in the size of sewer proposed. It is our understanding that the subject proposal involves an increase sewer size from 36 inches to 48 inches. Based upon this increase in capacity, a coastal development permit would be required for this replacement project. Please note that this does not speak to growth inducement, but rather to the physical capacity of the existing and proposed structures. Growth inducement is an entirely separate issue that may be examined in the context of the permit process. Given that the City has certified Land Use Plans for each of its segments, it is not likely that growth inducement will be a significant issues in review of the permit application. I have enclosed a coastal development permit application. The application process may be a bit more complicated in this project than is typical, in that the project is located both in the Village Redevelopment Ar-ea, for which the City has permit Ms. Anne Hysong February 5. 1991 Page 2 jurisdiction, and in the area where the Commission retains jurisdiction under the Mello I Local Coastal Program (LCP). If you have any questions regarding processing applications'for a project that lies under both jurisdictions or permit processing in general, please contact me at the Commission's San Diego Area Office, Sincerely, Paul B. Webb Coastal Planner Enclosure (3704L) PERMITS IN THE REDEVELOPMENT AREA - G.W. 1/15/91 In the redevelopment area all required permits are to be consolidated into a single redevelopment permit, including Planning Commision Determinations (PCD), with the exception of Coastal Permits which shall be filed concurrently with the redevelopment permit if the property is within the coastal zone.
