7 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the Planning
o
Commission of the City of Carlsbad as follows:
9
A) That the foregoing recitations are true and correct.
10
B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Commission
1l APPROVES BUENA VISTA LIFT STATION FORCE MAIN (VC-4) - SUP
, 2 09-01, based on the following findings and subject to the following conditions:
Findings:
13
1. The site is reasonably safe from flooding in that the proposed project will be
14 underground, with the exception of the approximate 125-foot length of pipe, which
., will hang under the Jefferson Street bridge over Buena Vista Creek. Since the
construction of the sewer pipe hung under the Jefferson Street bridge over Buena
\ ft Vista Creek will take place on scaffolding hanging from the bridge, no impact to the
Buena Vista Creek floodplain will result from the project.
17
2. The project as proposed has been designed to minimize the flood hazard to the habitable
portions of the structure in that the sewer force main project does not include any
jo habitable portions.
20 3. The proposed project does not create a hazard for adjacent or upstream properties or
structures in that the project will not place any new above ground structures within
21 the limits of the identified 100-year flood hazard areas. The project will be
22 underground and will thus not utilize any volume area within the 100-year flood
zone. Construction of the project will not place equipment, structures or other
23 materials in areas which would impede water flow in Buena Vista Creek creating a
hazard to any structures adjacent or upstream of the project.
24
4. The proposed project does not create any additional hazard or cause adverse impacts to
downstream properties or structures in that the project will not place any new above
25 ground structures within the limits of the identified 100-year flood hazard areas.
The project will be underground and will thus not utilize any volume area within
27 the 100-year flood zone. Construction of the project will not place equipment,
structures or other materials in areas which could impede water flow in Buena Vista
2O Creek or the lagoon which would create a hazard to any properties or structures
downstream of the project.
PC RESO NO. 6646 -2-
5. The proposed project does not reduce the ability of the site to pass or handle a base flood
2 of 100-year frequency in that the proposed project will be underground, with the
exception of the approximate 125-foot length of pipe which will hang under the
3 Jefferson Street bridge over Buena Vista Creek and will not place equipment,
structures or other materials in areas which could impede flows of the 100-year
4 flood.
6. The proposed project taken together with all the other known, proposed, and anticipated
6 projects will not increase the water surface elevation of the base flood more than one foot
at any point in that construction of the project will not place equipment, structures or
other materials in areas which could impede flows of the 100-year flood. Thus no
increase in water surface elevation will result from implementation of the project.
9 7. No other required state and federal permits are needed.
10 Conditions:
Staff is authorized and directed to make, or require Developer to make, all corrections
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
13 shall occur substantially as shown in the approved Exhibits. Any proposed development,
different from this approval, shall require an amendment to this approval.
14
2. This approval is granted subject to the approval of the Mitigated Negative Declaration
and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, and approval of CDP 09-03 and
. , is subject to all conditions contained in Planning Commission Resolutions No. 6644 and
6645 for those other approvals incorporated herein by reference.
17
3. This approval shall become null and void if the Notice to Proceed is not issued or
commencement of construction does not occur for this project within two (2) years of
approval or this special use permit will expire.
