That the proposed development is in conformance with the Certified Local Coastal Program and all applicable policies in that the project consists of the construction of storm water pipeline and fixtures, and the relocation of two segments of 8- and 10-inch sewer pipeline on property located within the public rights-of-way. The project will not obstruct views of the coastline as seen from public lands or the public right-of-way, nor damage the visual beauty of the coastal zone as the recycled water pipeline will be placed underground. 2. The proposal is in conformity with the public access and recreation policies of the City of Carlsbad Local Coastal Program in that the proposed storm water pipeline will be installed underground, therefore, will not impact public access opportunities, recreational resources or obstruct views of the coastline as seen from public lands or the public rights-of-way; therefore, the visual beauty of the coastal zone will not diminish, nor will there be any impacts to coastal resources or public access. No agricultural uses currently exist on the site and the project is not located in an area of known geologic instability or flood hazard. The project is not located in an area identified as a 100-year floodplain nor is it considered a priority project requiring structural BMPs as the project will be within the public rights-of-way and no additional impervious surface will be created. Furthermore, the project will adhere to the city’s Master Drainage Plan, Grading Ordinance, Storm Water Ordinance, BMP Design Manual and Jurisdictional Runoff Management Program (JRMP) to avoid increased urban run- off, pollutants and soil erosion. Therefore the project is consistent with applicable provisions of Policies 4-3 through 4-7of the Mello II segment of the LCP. 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, BMP Design Manual and Jurisdictional Runoff Management Program (JRMP) to avoid increased urban runoff, pollutants, and soil erosion. No steep slopes or native vegetation is located on the subject property and the site is not located in an area prone to landslides, or susceptible to accelerated erosion, floods, or liquefaction. 4. The project is consistent with the Citywide Facilities and Improvements Plan, the Local Facilities Management Plan for Zone 1 and all city public facility policies and ordinances in that the project will provide adequate drainage facilities to the area in compliance with the city’s Engineering Standards. Furthermore, project operations will not result in any increased traffic and will thus not result in any substantial deterioration of the public roadway system, nor generate a need for other governmental services, such as emergency services. 5. Developer shall implement, or cause the implementation of, the applicable project design features/methods and construction measures identified in Table 3-6 of the Environmental Impact Report for the Drainage Master Plan Update (EIR 04-02). Conditions: General NOTE: Unless otherwise specified herein, all conditions shall be satisfied prior to the issuance of a Notice to Proceed or commencement of construction, whichever occurs first.
