City of Carlsbad staffing to inspect the construction activities is estimated to cost $7,500. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT The issuance of an emergency CDP for the construction of the storm drain system repairs and slope repair is statutorily exempt from CEQA review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15269 Emergency Projects as CEQA does not apply to actions necessary to prevent or mitigate an emergency. The storm drain and slope repair is an emergency as it is a sudden, unexpected occurrence demanding immediate action to prevent or mitigate loss or damage to life, health, property or essential public services. In this case, the emergency involves soil and/or geologic movements. Therefore, the CDP is exempt from CEQA review. EXHIBITS: 1. Emergency Coastal Development Permit CDP 15-51 2. Before Picture and After Picture December 17, 2015 Marshall Plantz Senior Planner City of Carlsbad Department of Public Works 1635 Faraday Avenue Carlsbad, CA 92008 EMERGENCY COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NOTICE OF DECISION RE: CDP 15-51-CARLSBAD BOULEVARD DRAINAGE REPAIRS-EMERGENCY PERMIT (city of Carlsbad The City Planner has completed a review of the application for an Emergency Coastal Development Permit to do repair work to replace the damaged portions of the City of Encinitas' storm drain system with new, temporary, piping and structures to redirect water away from the bluff located on the western edge of southbound Carlsbad Boulevard just north of the intersection of La Costa Avenue. The likely cause of the bluff failure is due to storm water runoff that has undermined and washed out portions of the storm drain system, and undermined an SDG&E power pole, a City of Carlsbad street light and associated conduits. The City Planner APPROVES this request for an Emergency Coastal Development Permit based upon the following: Findings: 1. An emergency exists that requires action more quickly than permitted by the procedures for minor coastal development permits or for regular permits and the work can and will be completed within thirty days unless otherwise specified by the terms of the permit; 2. Public comment on the proposed emergency action has not occurred because time did not allow; and 3. The work proposed will be consistent with the requirements of the certified land use plan. Conditions: 1. The Emergency Coastal Development Permit is granted subject to completion of the emergency repair work within 30 days. 2. The City of Encinitas owns and maintains the storm drain facilities in the area and if it is determined that these facilities are the cause of the damage then the City of Encinitas shall submit a formal application for a regular Coastal Development Permit to the City of Carlsbad within 30 days of this letter to repair the damaged portions of the storm drain system and slope repair to the satisfaction of the City of Carlsbad's Public Works Director. · .
