16
WHEREAS, said verified application constitutes a request for a Coastal
17
Development Permit for pipelines south of Cannon Road as shown on Exhibits "A" - "Y" dated18
jp February 2, 2011, and as shown and described in the Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND)
20 and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) on file in the Planning Department,
21 AGUA HEDIONDA SEWER LIFT STATION, FORCE MAIN AND GRAVITY SEWER

Code; and
24
WHEREAS, CDP 10-17 applies only to those pipelines proposed in the Mello II

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
11 APPROVES AGUA HEDIONDA SEWER LIFT STATION, FORCE MAIN
12 AND GRAVITY SEWER REPLACEMENT CDP 10-17 based on the
following findings and subject to the following conditions:
13
Findings:
14
1. That the proposed development is in conformance with the Mello II Certified Local
Coastal Program and all applicable policies in that the proposed project is consistent
16 with, or otherwise implements, the following Mello II LCP policies:
17 a. Carlsbad LCP Mello II Policy 3-4 Grading and Landscaping Requirements. The
project complies because all work in this area will be within the public right-of-
way and will be repaved to eliminate the possibility of erosion. Also grading will
19 not occur during the rainy season unless sufficient erosion control measures
have been included in the project construction program.
20 b. Carlsbad LCP Mello II Policy 4-3 Accelerated Soil Erosion. The project complies
because no portion of the project is being developed on steep slopes as identified
21 in the LCP. The project also complies because the project will incorporate
~~ BMPs and submit a water quality technical report as specified in the National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit and in the Standard
23 Urban Storm Water Mitigation Plan (SUSMP). In addition, the city will include
requirements in the CDP approval to allow inspection and maintenance of the
24 BMPs, and the project minimizes land disturbance activities during construction
(e.g., clearing, grading and cut-and-fill). BMPs are also proposed to treat site
runoff following construction of the SLS.
26 c. Carlsbad LCP Mello II Policy 4-4 Removal of Natural Vegetation. The project
complies because it will not remove any natural vegetation within this segment of
27 the project.
d. Carlsbad LCP Mello II Policy 4-5 Soil Erosion Control Practices. The project
2° complies because onsite erosion will be avoided as a result of the use of silt
fences, sandbags and straw mulch rolls being placed around excavated trench
PC RESO NO. 6757 -2-
spoils during the construction period. Furthermore, all storm drains and
2 natural drainages situated downstream from the construction will be protected
by linear sediment barriers or similar erosion control devices.
3 e. Carlsbad LCP Mello II Policy 4-6 Sediment Control Practices. The project
complies because sediment control will be provided through the use of silt fences,
4 sandbags and straw mulch rolls being placed around excavated trench spoils
c during the construction period. Furthermore, all storm drains and natural
drainages situated downstream from the construction will be protected by linear
6 sediment barriers or similar erosion control devices.
7 2. The proposal is in conformity with the public access and recreation policies of Chapter 3
of the Coastal Act in that the pipelines will be installed underground and, therefore,
will not impact public access opportunities or recreational resources.
9
3. That the project is consistent with the provisions of the Coastal Resource Protection
10 Overlay Zone (Chapter 21.203 of the Zoning Ordinance) in that the project
incorporates measures to adhere to the City's Master Drainage Plan, Grading
Ordinance, Storm Water Ordinance, SUSMP and the Jurisdictional Urban Runoff
12 Management Program (JURMP) to avoid increased urban runoff, pollutants, and
soil erosion. Further, steep slopes with native vegetation will not be impacted since
13 pipelines are proposed for city rights-of-way without sensitive habitat, or via
trenchless drilling construction methods as outlined in the Project's MND. Finally,
14 the project complies with Coastal Resource Protection Overlay Zone standards
., regarding development in liquefaction-prone areas as the project's Mitigation
Monitoring and Reporting Program includes a mitigation measure to address
16 potential settlement due to seismically-induced liquefaction or later spread.
17 4. The Planning Commission finds that the project, as conditioned herein, is in
conformance with the Elements of the City's General Plan, based on the facts set forth in
the staff report dated February 2, 2011, including, but not limited to that the
19 installation of a pipeline is consistent with the Land Use Element of the General
Plan in that the pipeline is allowed in all General Plan land use designations.
20
5. The project is consistent with the Citywide Facilities and Improvements Plan, the Local
21 Facilities Management Plan for Zones 3 and 22 and all City public facility policies and
22 ordinances. The City's fire, schools, libraries and parks and recreation performance
standards were developed assuming population growth occurs through the
23 construction of additional dwelling units. However, the proposed project does not
include residential, commercial or industrial land uses, and does not include any
24 components that would result in an increase in population or any public facility or
infrastructure demand. Specifically, the proposed pipelines do not generate any
facility plan improvement requirements or funding.
26
6. The Planning Commission has reviewed each of the exactions imposed on the Developer
27 contained in this resolution, and hereby finds, in this case, that the exactions are imposed
to mitigate impacts caused by or reasonably related to the project, and the extent and the
degree of the exaction is in rough proportionality to the impact caused by the project.
