27 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the Planning
2° 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
2 APPROVES ENCINAS CREEK BRIDGE REPLACEMENT - SUP 09-03,
based on the following findings and subject to the following conditions:
3
Findings:
4
<- 1. The site is reasonably safe from flooding in that the proposed concrete arched bridge is
designed to accommodate a 100-year flood. Encinas Creek flows into the Pacific
6 Ocean, which would prevent any water in the creek from backing up and spilling
onto Carlsbad Boulevard. In addition, supplemental riprap would be installed in the
7 same location as the existing riprap to protect the road and bridge from wave action
during extreme high tides.o
9 2. The project as proposed has been designed to minimize the flood hazard to the habitable
portions of the structure in that the bridge replacement project does not include any
10 habitable portions.
3. The proposed project does not create a hazard for adjacent or upstream properties or
12 structures in that the proposed concrete arched bridge is designed to accommodate a
100-year flood. In addition, Encinas Creek flows into the Pacific Ocean, which
13 would prevent any water in the creek from creating a hazard to any structures
upstream of the bridge.
14
,, 4. The proposed project does not create any additional hazard or cause adverse impacts to
downstream properties or structures in that bridge is adjacent to the beach and Pacific
16 Ocean. There are no properties or structures downstream from the bridge.
17 5. The proposed project does not reduce the ability of the site to pass or handle a base flood
of 100-year frequency in that the proposed concrete arched bridge is designed to
accommodate a 100-year flood.
19
6. The proposed project taken together with all the other known, proposed, and anticipated
20 projects will not increase the water surface elevation of the base flood more than one foot
at any point in that the proposed bridge replacement project will improve the flow of
the creek, thereby increasing floodwater capacity.
22 7. All other required state and federal permits have been or will be obtained prior to
23 construction of the project.
^ Conditions;
25 1. Staff is authorized and directed to make, or require Developer to make, all corrections
26 and modifications to the Special Use Permit document(s) necessary to make them
internally consistent and in conformity with final action on the project. Development
27 shall occur substantially as shown in the approved Exhibits. Any proposed development,
different from this approval, shall require an amendment to this approval.
