NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the Planning
28
Commission of the City of Carlsbad as follows:
A) That the foregoing recitations are true and correct.
2 B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Commission
3 APPROVES BRISTOL COVE SEDIMENT REMOVAL - SUP 11-01, based
on the following findings and subject to the following conditions:4
5 Findings:
6 1. The project is consistent with the Open Space and Conservation Element - Open Space
Planning and Protection Goal A.4, which states, "A city with an adequate amount and
7 variety of open space for outdoor recreation, but not limited to: parks; beaches; areas for
organized sports; connecting corridors containing trails; water recreation areas (beaches,
lagoons, lakes); unique conservation areas for nature study' and, semi-developed areas for
9 camping," in that the dredging of this area of the cove will restore the boat dock
function and allow residents access to the waterways, including Agua Hedionda
10 Lagoon, beaches, and trails along the lagoon.
11 2. The project is consistent with the Open Space and Conservation Element - Water Quality
12 Protection Objectives: 1) B.I - "To control storm water pollutants;" 2) B.2 - "To design
storm water conveyance systems that do not adversely impact sensitive environmental
13 resources;" and 3) B.3 - "To improve water quality within the City," in that the proposed
supplemental rip-rap would be adequately sized to handle storm water flows from
14 the existing 60-inch diameter storm drain, which would reduce pollutants and
.<. sediment from reaching the cove.
16 3. The site is reasonably safe from flooding and will not reduce the ability of the site to pass
or handle a base flood of 100-year frequency in that the project will remove up to 25
17 cubic yards of sediment deposited in the cove and will not obstruct water from
flowing through this area should a 100-year flood occur.18
19 4. The project will not create a hazard or adversely impact development, or adjacent and
upstream properties and structures; and the cumulative effect of this project and the
20 adjacent approved projects will not significantly raise the level of the 100 year flood plain
(base flood elevation) in that the dredge activity will increase the physical capacity of
21 the cove and therefore the ability of the cove to accommodate flood waters.
22 5. The project complies with the certified Local Coastal Program (LCP) and Coastal
23 Resource Protection Overlay Zone requirements in that dredging a small area of the
cove, and installing appropriately sized supplemental riprap for erosion control, will
24 enhance and protect coastal resources by reducing the potential sediment and storm
water pollutants from entering the cove or Agua Hedionda Lagoon.
26 6. The project complies with policy 6.7 of the Agua Hedionda LCP, which states, "The
present recreational uses of the lagoon shall be maintained and where feasible,
27 expanded." Removing the 25 cubic yards of sediment that has settled adjacent to
and under a boating facility will allow residents to use this facility to access the
2° adjacent Agua Hedionda Lagoon for recreational use.
PC RESO NO. 6802 -2-
7. The project is in conformity with the public access and recreation policies of Chapter 3 of
2 the Coastal Act in .that dredging of this area of the cove will allow residents access to
the boating facilities to access Agua Hedionda Lagoon, beaches, and trails along the
3 lagoon.
8. All other required state and federal permits have been obtained or will be obtained prior
c to the issuance of a Notice to Proceed or commencement of construction, whichever
occurs first.
