CASE NAME: AGUA HEDIONDA & CALAVERA CREEKS CASE NO: CDP 06-04x1(A) WHEREAS, City of Carlsbad, “Developer,” has filed a verified application with the City of Carlsbad regarding property owned by Carlsbad Canterbury Association and Evans Point Homeowners Association, “Owner,” with easements granted or dedicated to the City of Carlsbad for road, drainage, open space, sewer, and maintenance purposes and described as A portion of Lot 148 of City of Carlsbad Tract No 96-07, Kelly Ranch Village E, in the City of Carlsbad, County of San Diego, State of California, according to map thereof No. 13715, as filed in the Office of the County Recorder of San Diego County on December 31, 1998, and; a portion of Lot 195 of City of Carlsbad Tract No. 91-3, Evans Point, in the City of Carlsbad, County of San Diego, State of California, according to map thereof No. 13189, as filed in the Office of the County Recorder of San Diego County on February 10, 1995 (“the Property”); and WHEREAS, said verified application constitutes a request for a Coastal Development Permit Amendment as shown on Exhibits “A” – “Z” dated April 3, 2013, attached hereto and on file in the Carlsbad Planning Division, AGUA HEDIONDA & CALAVERA CREEKS – CDP 06-04x1(A), as provided in Chapter 21.81.040 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did, on April 3, 2013, hold a duly noticed public hearing as prescribed by law to consider said request; and PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 6951 PC RESO NO. 6951 -2- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 WHEREAS, at said public hearing, upon hearing and considering all testimony and arguments, if any, of all persons desiring to be heard, said Commission considered all factors relating to the Coastal Development Permit. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of Carlsbad, as follows: A) That the above recitations are true and correct. B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Commission APPROVES AGUA HEDIONDA & CALAVERA CREEKS – CDP 06-04x1(A), based on the following findings and subject to the following conditions: Findings: 1. That the proposed development is in conformance with the Certified Local Coastal Program (LCP) and all applicable policies in that the existing LCP requires storm drainage facilities in developed areas to be improved and enlarged according to the city’s existing Master Drainage Plan and thus it is the intent of the LCP to allow implementation of drainage projects that are part of the city’s drainage master planning program. Furthermore, LCP Policy 4-3(b)(3)(a), requires all development to include measures to reduce flow rates, velocities, erosion, and sedimentation for drainage and erosion control. The additional riprap between the El Camino Real and Cannon Road bridges (the portion of the project within the Coastal Zone) is necessary to further protect the banks from erosion and reduce the amount of potential sedimentation and/or erosion in the downstream habitat preserve. 2. The proposal is in conformity with the public access and recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act in that the project involves dredging of existing creek channels that are not navigable, used for recreation, or bordered by public trails or recreation areas. 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 City's Master Drainage Plan, Grading Ordinance, Storm Water Ordinance, Standard Urban Storm Water Mitigation Plan (SUSMP) and Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Program (JURMP) to avoid increased urban runoff, pollutants, and soil erosion. No steep slopes are located on the subject property and the site is not located in an area prone to landslides. 4. The Planning Commission has reviewed each of the exactions imposed on the Developer 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.
