SUP 06-10X2(A) (DEV06068) – AGUA HEDIONDA OUTER LAGOON MAINTENANCE – Request for approval for a retroactive five year extension and amendment of a Floodplain Special Use Permit to allow for periodic maintenance dredging of the Agua Hedionda Outer Lagoon (that portion of the lagoon adjacent to the ocean between Carlsbad Boulevard and the railroad track trestles), and the placement and quantities of the dredged sand, as suitable, to the north and south of the inlet jetty within the Agua Hedionda Segment of the city’s Local Coastal Program, where the California Coastal Commission (CCC) has retained coastal development permitting authority. The sand dredge and receiver sites are located in the city’s Local Facilities Management Zone 1. The City Planner has determined that the project belongs to a class of projects that the State Secretary for Resources has found do not have a significant impact on the environment, and it is therefore categorically exempt from the requirement for the preparation of environmental documents pursuant to Section 15304(g), which specifically exempts maintenance dredging where the spoil is deposited in a spoil area authorized by all applicable state and federal regulatory agencies of the state CEQA Guidelines.

On items for public hearing, the audience will be asked for comment. Those wishing to speak are asked to come forward, speak into the microphone, and give their name and address for the taped record. A time limit of five minutes is allotted to each speaker. After testimony is completed, the applicant is allowed a rebuttal. The Planning Commission is anxious to hear all persons wishing to give testimony. However, it is requested that each new speaker add new information, and not repeat points which previous speakers have made. Persons not desiring to speak, but wishing to be recorded as proponents or protesters of record, may do so by submitting their name and address to the minutes clerk. Certain Planning Commission decisions are final, but may be appealed to the City Council. An appeal may be filed with the City Clerk at City Hall within 10 calendar days of the decision. The cost of filing an appeal is $850 for all matters. If anyone wishes to question a Planning Commission decision, they may contact the Planning Division at 1635 Faraday Avenue, between the hours of 7:30 and 5:30, Monday through Thursday, and 8:00 to 5:00 on Friday.
