Home My WebLink AboutCDP 00-49; Seawall Stairway Repair; Coastal Development Permit (CDP)City of Carlsbad Planning Department MINOR COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NOTICE OF DECISION October 24, 2000 Jon Schauble, Public Works Division 1635 Faraday Avenue Carlsbad, Ca 92008 SUBJECT: CDP 00-49 - SEAWALL STAIRWAY REPAIR The City has completed a review of the application for a Minor Coastal Development Permit for the Seawall Stairway Repair Project. This project consists of replacing the stairsteps on the existing beach access stairway just north of Chestnut Avenue. It is the Planning Director's determination that the project request for the replacement of the stairway steps located on the bluff west of Carlsbad Boulevard, CDP 00-49, is consistent with the applicable City's Coastal Development Regulations (Chapters 21.201 - 21.205) and with all other applicable City ordinances and policies. The Planning Director, therefore, APPROVES this request based upon the following: Findings: 1. That the total cost of the proposed development is less than $60,000 based on the cost estimates provided. 2. That the proposed development requires no discretionary approvals other than a Minor Coastal Development Permit; the repair of facilities located within fifty feet of the edge of a coastal bluff in the coastal zone is considered "development" and therefore requires a coastal permit. 3. That the development has no adverse effect individually or cumulatively on coastal resources or public access to the shoreline or the coast, in that no coastal resources or opportunities for coastal access are available from the subject site; the project will replace stairsteps on an existing stairway in order to protect public health, safety and welfare and improve the public's access up and down the bluff and to the shoreline. 4. That the proposed development is in conformance with the Mello II Certified Local Coastal Program and all applicable policies in that the site is designated for open space and beach access uses. 1635 Faraday Avenue • Carlsbad, CA 92008-7314 • (760) 602-4600 • FAX (760) 602-8559 • www.ci.carlsbad.ca.us SEAWALL STAIRWAY REPAIR October 24, 2000 Page 2 5. That the development is in conformity with the public access and public recreation policies of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act, in that existing beach access stairways at the specific, subject location are deteriorating and are in need of replacement which will increase public safety. 6. That this request for a minor coastal development permit was adequately noticed at least fifteen (15) working days before the date of this decision pursuant to Section 21.201.080(6) and (C) of the Carlsbad Coastal Development Permit Procedures Ordinance. 7. That the Planning Director has determined that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment since it is categorically exempt from environmental review per Section 15302 (Class 2) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Class 2 exempts the replacement or reconstruction of facilities located on the same site with substantially the same purpose and capacity as the replaced structure. The proposed stairstep" replacement project qualifies for this exemption. 8. This project is consistent with the General Plan and has received a finding of General Plan consistency as made with the list of Capital Improvement Projects by the Planning Commission on May 17,1999. Conditions: 1. The Planning Director does hereby APPROVE the Minor Coastal Development Permit, CDP 00-49, for the project entitled "Seawall Stairway Repair".

ITEM EXPLANATION: appropriating additional funds and authorization to advertise the DRAFT The Seawall Stairway Repair Project No. 35191 will replace all of the concrete treads at the staircase near lifeguard tower #8 between Sycamore and Chestnut Avenues. The concrete treads are worn and cracked and should be replaced to maintain the stairway in a safe condition. The design of the stairway repair project has been completed so that the City can advertise for bids and construct the project during the winter months. Currently, the miscellaneous beach access stairway account has an available balance of $32,000. The Seawall Stairway Repair Project No. 35191 has an estimated cost of $52,000, therefore, staff recommends that additional funding of $20,000 be appropriated from the City's General Capital Construction Fund in order to fully fund this stairway repair project.
