That the proposed development is in conformance with the Mello II segment of the
Certified Local Coastal Program and all applicable policies in that the site is designated
for single-family residential developments and the development is a single-family house
on a previously subdivided lot; no agricultural activities, sensitive resources,
geological instability, flood hazard or coastal access opportunities exist onsite and
the development does not obstruct views of the coastline as seen from public lands
or public right-of-way or otherwise damage the visual beauty of the coastal zone.
The project is consistent with the provisions of the Coastal Resource Protection
Overlay Zone (Chapter 21.03 of the Zoning Ordinance) in that the project will
adhere to the City’s Master Drainage Plan, Grading Ordinance, Storm Water
Ordinance, Standard Urban Storm Water Mitigation Plan (SUSMP), and
Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program (JURMP) to avoid increased
urban runoff, pollutants and soil erosion. No steep slopes or native vegetation is
located on the subject property and the site is not located in an area prone to
landslides, or susceptible to accelerated erosion, floods, or liquefaction.
The proposal is in conformity with the public access and recreation policies of Chapter 3
of the Coastal Act in that the property is not located adjacent to the shore. Therefore, the
project will not interfere with the public’s right to physical access to the sea and the site is
not suited for water-oriented recreation activities.
That the Planning Director 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 (single-family
residence in an urbanized area) of the state CEQA Guidelines. In making this
determination, the Planning Director has found that the exceptions listed in Section
15300.2 of the state CEQA Guidelines do not apply to this project.
The project is consistent with the City-Wide Facilities and Improvements Plan, the Local
Facilities Management Plan for Zone 1 and all City public facility policies and
ordinances. The project includes elements or has been conditioned to construct or
provide hding to ensure that all facilities and improvements regarding: sewer collection
and treatment; water; drainage; circulation; fire; schools; parks and other recreational
facilities; libraries; govemment administrative facilities; and open space, related to the
project will be installed to serve new development prior to or concurrent with need.
Specifically,
A. The project has been conditioned to provide proof from the Carlsbad Unified
School District that the project has satisfied its obligation for school facilities.
