Mr. Mamaux asked the Planning Commission to consider an alternative review process which would place Regional Coast Commission as the first public body to hear the application. Mr. Mamaux's proposal is based on the requirement to construct pipelines in the Coastal Zone Permit area and the necessity of receiving a permit for pipeline construction and related activities. Mr. Mamaux stated that the Regional Coast Commission had indicated that a hearing could only be conducted after the City of Carlsbad had certified the EIR for the proposed Refinery pro- ject. Mr. Mamaux requested the Planning Commission recommend to the City Council a City Policy which will place the initial public hearing on the Refinery before the Coastal Commission.
