The purpose of the oversizing was stated to be for the purpose of serving future reclamation facilities that Council might au- tho r i ze. The oversizing was authorized by Leucadia County Water District subject to our payment of the change order cost ($16,721.55) plus their adminis- trative and engineering costs to effect the change order ($1,575.00). This amount, which is approximately 15% of the total cost, will give us 29% of the total capacity. The attached agreement sets forth the terms offered by Leucadia County Water District. The oversizing has received authorization from the State Coastal Commis- sion and has received a Negative Declaration from the Planning Depart- men t .

A-159-79 (Leucadia County Water District - LCWD) In the case of permits issued by the Commission under the Coastal Act of 1g6, the Commission Regulations (Section 13166) permit applicants to request approval by the commission of amendments to the project or permit conditions. The Coastal Commission may approve an amendment if it finds that the revised development is consistent with the Coastal Act. Commission hold a public hearing on the request, and after closing the public hearing, vote on the request. this permit, subject to conditions, to construct a total of 3,450 feet of 14-bch force main sewer pipeline along existing rights-of-way to convey excess treated effluent from the Leucadia Reclamation Facility to the ocean outfall at the Encina Treatment Plant (Exhibit 1). The pipeline construction is the coastal zone portion of a sewage treatment project that ultimately will re- sult in the reactivation of the Leucadia Reclamation Facility. requests an amendment to increase the size of a portion of the pipeline from 14 inches in diameter to 16 inches in diameter.

The Commission's decision on this permit was based on an earlier Commission action (Appeal No. 15-76, Encina Treatment Plant) that affected U'dO as weU as other local governments and special districts in the Carlsbad area. The Commission granted this permit with a - The Commission - Subsequent to the Commission's decision on this permit, the City of Carlsbad made a request to.the II=wD that they seek an amendment to increase the size of the permitted pipeline.

The added funds needed for the oversize pipeline would come from a city construction account.

Findinas and Declarations The Commissionfinds and declares as fbllows: 1. Amendment Description. _- The amendment allows the applicant (VI) to in- crease the size of the permitted pipeline from 14 inches to 16 inches in diameter between station points 7a56 to 30288 (as shown on tb-project plans). The increase in size will not provide any increased sewage treatment capacity, but will pro- vide the City of Carlsbad with additional treated effluent at some f'uture the the city constructs a sewage treatment facility. 2. Growth Inducemer-t. The Commission' s concern with sewage treatment facilities in this area of San Diego County are that (1) increased treatment capacity is growth inducing and my result in develo ment of agricultural and steep- slope lands inconsistent with the Coastal Act and (2 P assessment of such lands to finance treatment projects also tends to increase development pressure. condition on the original permit, as well as on an earlier permit that affected the applicant and several other local governments and service districts (Appeal No. 15-76), agricultural and steep-slope lands within the various juris- dictions' control are excluded from sewer service and assessment unless a coastal development permit or a certified LCP allows development of these lands; the intent of this condition is to prevent a commitment of these lands to urban uses unless such development would be in conformance with the Coastal Act. disposal capacity if As a .. The proposed amendment does not provide any increase in sewage treatment capacity and, therefore, is not growth inducing. The City of Carlsbad recognizes that they are taking a financial risk by funding the increase in the size of the LCWD pipeline without holding any permit for a facility that disposal capacity provided by the increased size. finds that granting this amendment in no way implies a committment to approve any future sewage treatment project. Any treatment facility proposed in the future that would affect development in the coastal zone would require application for a separate coastal development permit and would be subject to review for consistency with applicable Coastal Act policies. The Commission notes that one could use the The Commission specifically . . .I__. .. . t".

In summary, the Commission finds that (1) agricultural and steep slope lands are protected from premature development by the condition on the original permit, (2) the increased pipeline size will be funded from €ram a city -of Carlsbad constructio fund-rather than through an assessment of agricultural or steep slope lands, (3) granting this amendment in no way implies a cammitment sewage treatment facilities, and (4) no increase in sewage treatment capacity is provided by this amendment. development beyond the control of the original pernrit, A-15-76 (Encina Treatment Plant) is Furthermore., - approve any subsequent Therefore, the proposed amendment does not affect Thus, the Commission finds that the amendmen$, as proposed, is consistent with the policies of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act and is consistent with past Commission actions; .. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 1E 1s 2c 21 2: 2: 24 2: 2E 27 2E RESOLUTION NO. 6003 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF CARLSBAD AND LEUCADIA COUNTY WATER DISTRICT FOR OVERSIZING OF AN EFFLUENT DISPOSAL LINE _- The City Council of the City of Carlsbad, California, does hereby resolve as follows: 1.
