CASE NAME: NPDES STORMWATER UPDATE CASE NO: GPA 01-15 WHEREAS, the Planning Director has filed a verified application with the City of Carlsbad regarding property described as citywide, (“the Property”); and WHEREAS, said verified application constitutes a request for a General Plan Amendment as shown on Exhibit “X” dated January 2,2002, attached hereto and on file in the Carlsbad Planning Department, NPDES STORMWATER UPDATE - GPA 01-15 as provided in Government Code Section 65350 et. seq. and Section 21.52.160 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did, on the 2nd day of January, 2002, hold a duly noticed public hearing as prescribed by law to consider said request; WHEREAS, at said public hearing, upon hearing and considering all testimony and arguments, if any, of all persons desiring to be heard, said Commission considered all factors relating to the General Plan Amendment. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of Carlsbad, as follows: 4 That the above recitations are true and correct. B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Commission RECOMMENDS APPROVAL of NPDES STORMWATER UPDATE - GPA 01-15, based on the following findings: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Findinps: 1. That the proposed General Plan Amendment, NPDES STORMWATER UPDATE, GPA 01-15, is consistent with Regional Water Quality Control Board Order No. 2001-01 in that these proposed policies are included in Order 2001-01 as examples of water quality and watershed protection policies to be included in each co- permittee’s General Plan. 2. The new/revised water quality and watershed protection General Plan policies supplement existing Water Quality Protection policies (which are contained in the Open Space and Conservation Element). The new land development policies will encourage the protection and enhancement of receiving waters and other environmentally sensitive areas and are therefore consistent with the General Plan. PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the Planning Commission of the City of Carlsbad, California, held on the 2nd day of January 2002 by the following vote, to wit: AYES: Chairperson Trigas, Commissioners Compas, Dominguez, Heineman, Nielsen, and Segall NOES: None ABSENT: Commissioner Baker ABSTAIN: None SEENA TRIGAS, Chair&& son CARLSBAD PLANNING COMMISSION ATTEST: MICHAEL JmLZ&!ILLER Planning Director PC RBSO NO. 5 129 -2- Exhibit “X9’ January 2,2002 Open Space and Conservation Element WATER QUALITY PROTECTION C. IMPLEMENTING POLICIES AND ACTION PROGRAMS C.l. Develop and implement a Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program (JURMP) consistent with the Regional Water Quality Control Board Order No. 2001-01 and any subsequent amendments to it. C.2 Adopt and implement a Master Drainage Plan and Standard Urban Stormwater Mitigation Plan (SUSMP) consistent with the Regional Water Quality Control Board Order No. 2001-01 and any subsequent amendments to it. C.3. Prior to making land use decisions, utilize methods available to estimate increases in pollutant loads and flows resulting from projected future development. The City shall require developments to incorporate structural and non-structural Best Management Practices (BMPs) to mitigate the projected increases in pollutant loads. C.4 Implement water pollution prevention methods to the maximum extent practicable, supplemented by pollutant source controls and treatment. Use small collection strategies located at, or as close as possible to, the source (i.e., the point where water initially meets the ground) to minimize the transport of urban runoff and pollutants offsite and into a municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4). C.5 Post-development runoff from a site shall not contain pollutant loads which cause or contribute to an exceedance of receiving water quality objectives or which have not been reduced to the maximum extent practicable. C.6 Developments shall implement appropriate recommendations to protect water quality found in the San Diego Association of Government’s (SANDAG’s) Water Quality Element of its Regional Growth Management Strategy. C.22 Development projects should be designed to comply with the following site design principles: 1. Protect slopes and channels to decrease the potential for slopes and/or channels from eroding and impacting stormwater runoff. 2. To the extent practicable, cluster development on the least environ- mentally sensitive portions of a site while leaving the remaining land in a natural undisturbed condition. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Preserve, and where possible, create or restore areas that provide important water quality benefits, such as riparian corridors, wetlands and buffer zones. Encourage land acquisition of such areas. Provide buffer zones for natural water bodies. Minimize the amount of impervious surfaces and directly connected impervious surfaces in areas of new development and redevelopment. Where feasible implement site design/landscape features to slow runoff and maximize on-site infiltration of runoff. Properly design outdoor material storage areas (including the use of roof or awning covers) to minimize the opportunity for toxic compounds, oil and grease, heavy metals, nutrients, suspended solids and other pollutants from entering the storm water conveyance system. Incorporate roof or awning covers over trash storage areas (i. e; with roof or awning covers) to prevent off-site transport of trash and other pollutants from entering the storm water conveyance system. Limit disturbances of natural water bodies and natural drainage systems caused by development including roads, highways and bridges. 10. Design streets and circulation systems to reduce pollutants associated with vehicles and traffic resulting from development. Circulation Element REGIONAL CIRCULATION CONSIDERATIONS C. IMPLEMENTING POLICIES AND ACTION PROGRAMS C.5 The City shall work with the adjacent communities and agencies of Oceanside, Vista, Encinitas, San Marcos, County of San Diego, Caltrans, North County Transit District, San Diego Association of Governments and other appropriate agencies to coordinate local traffic management reduction efforts.
