NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of Carlsbad as follows: A) That the foregoing recitations are true and correct. B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Commission APPROVES DUNN RESIDENCE - CDP 02-42 based on the following findings and subject to the following conditions: Findinm: 1. That the proposed development is in conformance with the Certified Local Coastal Program and all applicable policies in that no agricultural lands exist on or near the site, fire suppression impacts to sensitive vegetation will be mitigated, the soils investigation performed for the property indicates that grading of steep slopes is necessary to stabilize a building pad and the project qualifies for an exception, no wetlands or dual criterion slopes will be impacted by the necessary remedial grading, increased urban run off, pollutants and soil erosion will be avoided in conformance with City standards, and no significant public view points are on or near the site. 2. The proposal is in conformity with the public access and recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act in that no coastal access areas or water oriented recreational activities exist on or near the site. 3. The project is consistent with the provisions of the Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone (Chapter 21.203 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 (JUMP) to avoid increased urban run off, pollutants and soil erosion. Pursuant to Section 21.203.040A(2)(a), the project qualifies for an exception to the prohibition of grading of steep slopes that do not possess sensitive vegetation because a soils investigation has determined that remedial grading is necessary to stabilize the slope area for at least 75 years or the life of proposed structures. Grading of the slope is also essential to the development intent and design because the single-family lot is undevelopable without slope stabilization due to past undocumented fill which has eroded over time. No interruption of a significant wildlife corridor will occur. The proposed slope combined with two 6' high retaining walls at the base of the slope avoids impacts to sensitive vegetation located on steep slopes further to the north and all environmental impacts have been mitigated.
