B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Commission 2 APPROVES MORRISON RESIDENCE - CDP 07-11 based on the following findings and subject to the following conditions: 3 Findings: 4 1. That the proposed development is in conformance with the Certified Local Coastal Program and all applicable policies in that the project consists of the construction of a new 2,225 square foot single-family residence on a lot designated for single-family 5 residential development. At 3.1 dwelling units per acre, the development is consistent with the Mello II Land Use designation of RLM (0-4 du's/acre); no 7 agricultural activities, sensitive resources, geological instability, flood hazard or vertical 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 Q otherwise damage the visual beauty of the coastal zone. JO 2. 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. The 11 property is located approximately 1 mile from the Pacific Ocean and approximately 1A mile from Agua Hedionda Lagoon; therefore, no coastal access areas or water- oriented recreational activities exist on or near the site or will be affected by the 13 project. 14 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 15 City's Master Drainage Plan, Chapter 15.16 - Grading and Erosion Control, Chapter 15.12 - Storm Water Management and Discharge Control, Standard Urban 16 Storm Water Mitigation Plan (SUSMP), and Jurisdictional Urban Runoff 17 Management Program (JURMP) to avoid increased urban runoff, pollutants, and soil erosion. While the project is proposing some development of steep slopes that 18 are located in the western portion of the property, the slopes do not contain sensitive habitat, and all of the findings can be made to permit development of such coastal 1" slopes as discussed in the staff report. Furthermore, no evidence of landslide or slope instability is identified on the site, nor is it located in an area susceptible to accelerated erosion, floods, or liquefaction. 21 4. That the Planning Director has determined that the project belongs to a class of projects 22 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 23 preparation of environmental documents pursuant to Section 15303(a) (construction of one single family residence in a residential zone on a legal parcel) of the state CEQA Guidelines. In making this determination, the Planning Director has found that the 25 exceptions listed in Section 15300.2 of the state CEQA Guidelines do not apply to this project. 26 5. The project is not located in the Coastal Agricultural Overlay Zone, according to Map X 27 of the Land Use Plan, certified September 1990, and therefore, is not subject to the ~ provisions of the Coastal Agriculture Overlay Zone (Chapter 21.202 of the Zoning Ordinance).
